Whew!

Whew!  What a run the past two months have been.  It was not the holidays that saw me at the back of the run.  General life maintenance kept me at quite a pace though.

Through it all I have been creating.  Some is fine art, some is fine craft.  Rest assured, if I am working on it, it is being done at the highest caliber possible.  All of my finest arts are composed with longevity in mind.  Where archival materials are available, they are used.

My wonderful husband blessed me with a new camera.  It is lighter and can shoot great images in darkened conditions.  The full moon would have been a great shot.  Life had me otherwise occupied, and it was COLD out there. 

Those images are not yet ready, but these are.  Yes, they are all photography, if you are new to digital images.  Believe me when I say this is elementary.  You should see what the latest generation is doing.

Please enjoy.

Lots of New Stuff

There are lots of new things to see.  Half way across this country and back, I have thousands of images to edit.  Here are a few.

Time in the Sun

When you are caught unexpectedly in the sun for four hours, without an option to leave your location, what would you do with your time?  Textures in plain sight became the subject of my hours spent waiting to get into my locked truck. 

 Lessons learned: 

• don't lock the keys in the truck,
• don't forget to see what you are looking at, and
• don't forget to keep your camera in your hand when you leave your vehicle (you never know how handy it will become). 

It was fun taking these pictures.  Finding the variety of textures was fun.  I now have these to show for it, a bit of sunburn, and a whole array of new freckles.  Lessons learned and applied well.
