Flying High ...

This was the perfect photo for how I am feeling after attending Jen Louden's, Patti Digh and Susan Piver's Writing Workshop over the past 2 days ... This was a new experience for me ... There were so many wonderful things taught to us ... Writing Prompts, 10 Min to 1 Hour writing sessions, Ways to do away with excuses not to write etc ... I knew I always "liked" to write, but this confirmed that I truly "love" the writing craft. So I am still flying high from this experience ... When was the last class, course or workshop you attended?

    I'm so glad you had such a wonderful experience at the Writing Workshop Kristine! There is always something new to learn, and I love that! The last time I attended a course...hmmm...well, it wasn't really a course but more like a play day with my artistic friend. We had a great time playing with clay and I learned a lot. Great feeling! :)

    Thank you for being so happy for me, regarding the Writing Workshop. Yes, Learning is so inspiring. I so wish we could have "Creative Days" together - Perhaps we can, Someday - Let's keep thinking of that day - You can show me how to weave and I will show you a few tips on photography - How does that sound?

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...

Picture Frame Friday ...

So, These are the benefits of having your own blog - Usually, On Fridays it is Poetry Friday but I wanted to change things up a bit. I thought I would write regarding a question I have been asked quite frequently these days. How do I decide the a photo is worth taking? Or how do I know that it will be a good shot? I came across this photograph (above) and thought this would be perfect to help me explain. Many times I have an imaginary frame in my mind of what I want my photo to look like. Off to the left a bit, off to the right, etc - I also tape the LCD display before I go out shooting. I learned this years ago, and it has really improved my work.  (It keeps me shooting - An average shoot on any given day is approximately 100 shots.)This way, I do not waste time checking photos. It forces you to save that work for when you return home. This way, you are not deleting pictures that may please you on the computer, but not in the camera. Hoping these tricks and tips help you,...
