If you’re traveling over a thousand miles to put yourself in the path of the total eclipse of the sun, don’t let a few clouds ruin your experience. Sometimes you don’t have to move very far too save your shot. This idea came from our experience with a lunar eclipse. One night a couple years […] The post Don’t Let Clouds Ruin Your Eclipse Shoot appeared first on Bee Happy Graphics ..read more

What if I found a vanishing point by extending the tower walls up until they met […] The post “The Singing Tower” – A New Framing Idea? appeared first on Bee Happy Graphics ..read more

We’ve been negligent for the last decade by not having a formal return policy for our merchandise. To be fair, I can’t remember a single customer that has ever asked to return one of Nancy’s images or any of our prints or frames or other services on their own works. Nonetheless, that oversight ends today. […] The post Our New Return Policy appeared first on Bee Happy Graphics ..read more
