A book for a year 9:57 PM

I love this thought from artist Keri Smith’s blog the wish jar:

“I was thinking the other day that I would like to read one book for an entire year… Imagine knowing a book and characters that intimately…”

The whole post here.

Passion 5:53 AM

“Passion does not exist in the job, it exists within us. Either we find it in us right where we are, or we will never find it.”

Writing of Light 8:45 AM

“The word “photography” has its roots in Greek, roughly translating to “writing of light.” Just as text is most interesting when free of superfluous words, photography using little light is often the most intriguing.”

  • Sherri: hm.... interesting perspective. I love warm light and cold shadows, or cold light and warm shadows, and for me, I love the use of light. I haven't much thought of the lack of it till now, though maybe in a sense because the art I am most drawn to has very dark backgrounds with a splash of light on the subject.

Special Offer 5:15 AM

I continue to change what I am doing on this site and abroad but things are starting to form a shape.

Out of it, I have two creative activities that I love:

  1. Writing with my partner
  2. Photography

I don’t know if I’m good at either of them but until I get the full stop, I am going to keep having fun.

So, I have a special offer up at my photography site.

These are wearable clay pendants made with my prints by The Charm Lady.  They measure 1.5” across and are ready to be strung. Various cords and chains available in her shop.
