Farm Stand Time ...


I was asked to start posting a bit more of my "own" photography on my blog. I love hearing from all of you, so I am listening to your requests. Today I decided to post a photo I took recently as a local Farm Stand. I do like posting work from other artists and writing about how their work speaks to me, but I do have a lot of my own photography to share, as well.

I love taking a regular photo and playing in Photoshop to make it different. This photo was originally in color, but the farm stand reminded me of long ago - So changing it to Sepia made it more real to me. It reminds me of a photo that you would have seen in a newspaper years ago ... When you see a photo like this, what memories does it bring back for you?

    When I see a photo like this it reminds me of the faded our sepia photos I have of my great grand parents.
    Every summer I would visit for as long as my mom would let me.
    How much I wish there were more photos.

    I think the idea to put more of your own art in the blog is an excellent plan !

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
