caturday: brave new world

2008-07-22T16:40:30Z

My apologies to my friends who check here regularly. It will still be a couple of weeks before I'm back to posting more often. I need to put down my camera for a while. I'm going to go through the pictures I've taken over the last 18 months to choose a group of 14 - 20 of them to print. I'd like to frame a small show and find a venue. I don't know if I'll go that far. It depends on what kind of a grouping I can pull together. I feel like stepping back to look through what I've done might teach me something about how to move forward. Thanks to all of you who offer me feedback and support.

Warm,soft and misterious, the five dancers represent LIFE, each one different than the other in personality, even though the all came into the world in the same way." k. ninomiya I knew the dancer in orange, Tekako, from a workshop we were in together, and I was thrilled to see her performing.

The "Lion" is a symbol of strength and dignity; a life force we all hold within us. We, with the tenacity of a Lion, continue our quest and dignify our lives with this representation."

I miss having the time to focus on photography. I need to put my energy elsewhere for a while.

previous skateboard sets the light was a bit too low - grey and flat. But I knew rain was on the way to shut down the park. I'm glad I went tonight.
