Through the LifeWorks Home Improvement Challenge (HIC), corporate and community teams partner with a decorator to design the space of a LifeWorks client. LifeWorks clients live in Supportive Housing a program offering subsidized housing to kids who need a "getting on your feet period." LifeWorks clients are former foster care children, former homeless youth and teen parents who may have never before received the help they need for a fresh start.
November Design Group of Austin, Texas contacted us about working with them to create a special canvas artwork piece to be featured in the living room of the makeover apartment. The girl living there was not able to bring her cat there with her, so we made a beautiful sepia-toned 30x30 gallery wrap canvas of her cat so she would always be there with her.

If your DSLR has a spot meter function use it when you need to expose for something specific in your composition. For example if your subject is back lit and their face is in a darker light then use your spot meter to get the correct exposure for their face.
