I had to run the brakelevers on opposite sides to get the pinch bolts outboard, out of the way of my inboard shifters
After the post in the blog about organizing art supplies, I spent Saturday morning (today) organizing my creativity cupboard. I put most of the art supplies in boxes, so that I can remove them and take them to the kitchen table or my bedroom floor when I want to get creative. I thought I would share the photo because I love seeing how others organize all their stuff and find it really inspiring!
The Festival of the Masters at Downtown Disney was filled with fantastic talent. This is a piece really caught my eye...... love it.
Of the few things that really piss me off, one of them is wind... Actually, that is a blatant lie. Many things piss me off! But wind really inhibits several activities that I enjoy. Waterskiing and Photography — These two especially!
There is nothing better than a flat lake in summer, even the slightest breeze or boat chop can ruin the experience... And when seeking inspiring photos, especially HDR, a slight breeze can really 'break' a scene. Specifically in reference to stuff moving in the background. Yes, it can be cleaned up during post, but I'm guilty of being lazy from time to time ;-)
I'm one of those people who enjoys the extremes. I like the weather to be good or really really bad. Mind you that is somewhat of a contradiction, considering I would class 'bad' weather as a slight breeze and a few drops of rain. A crazy storm with thunder, lightning, all hell breaking loose, etc... Now THAT is good weather! As is a calm day with broken cloud cover.
That dovetails perfectly into todays topic... I hate being bored. Being bored leads to thinking too much, thinking too much leads to anxiety, anxiety leads to stress. Stress isn't good! This photo was born out of a day where the wind was a little too intrusive to warrant shooting a landscape. And while walking back to the house I saw a dandelion and remembered a great photo taken by a good friend of mine... The magnifying glass was just something I figured I would try, and I found the result to be quite pleasing & a bit more engaging than the dandelion by itself! I also feel it creates a sense of depth.
So this one goes out to Nikita, a great photographer based in Christchurch. I can't link to the original shot of her's that inspired this one as it's in a private album on Facebook... A photographer before I was, Nikita has actually inspired me to a certain degree. She has a good eye & an awesome creative passion that really shows in her results.
So, Nikita, if you read this... Cheers for the inspiration & I hope all is going well for you :-)

Day 2 and the final day of this year's Afropunk event in Brooklyn and once again, it was a humbling experience. A myriad of emotions, from sadness in the Black lives Matter demonstration to general pride in everyone from different races and colors and creeds all in one setting for the Afropunk culture, and most notably my affinity for my Black women continually growing to a progressive peak and so on, y'all are forever beautiful and as important as food and water has, is, and will be.

Using a fast shutter speed and high f-stop and a flash, I can make it look like it is night time. But this was done at 1 in the afternoon.
On Monday, April 23 (one day after Earth Day), U.S. Embassy officials visited the Islamabad International School to commemorate Earth Day. The students and diplomats planted trees and enjoyed a presentation by first and second-graders.

We all had to come up with our own definitions of creativity, writing it three times, three different sizes, three different types of media. And then find a home for each, somewhere around our lives.
My first effort was done with paint markers on a piece of paper from a MM journaling pad.
A friend and I experimented with wetting old books, shaping and cutting them, then drying them (http://theshoppingsherpa.blogspot.com/2011/01/books-in-bath.html ).
These are the results...
I made this little drawing up myself and it perfectly describes me- creative! The writing says ' I may not have brains or boobs but i have creativity and i like me'.

Many Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) graduates showed their creativity through their unique mortarboards and attire. But for some graduates, this was also a way to tell the stories of their journeys and where they are headed as they âDepart to Serve.â
As students marched into Bowman Gray Stadium during the Commencement Ceremony on Friday, May 19, they shared their messages of gratitude, accomplishment and encouragement.
Dealva Glaspie, a biotechnology graduate, had a decorated mortarboard with the message, âI turned my canâts into cans, and my dreams into plans.â Glaspie is the first in her family to earn a college degree. âI finally made it. I turned my dreams into plans,â Glaspie said.
Sherabiah Olglesby, a behavioral sciences and social work graduate, wore a stole with the imprint âblack grads matter,â to show her pride as a graduate of a historically Black college and university (HBCU).
âA lot of my friends went to predominately white institutions and believe that their degrees are better, but thatâs not true,â Olglesby said. âA lot of graduate schools want students from WSSU because they know that we have been properly prepared and are ready for the work force, and I think that is great.â
Olglesby plans to attend graduate school in the fall.
Taylor Gaulden, an interdisciplinary studies graduate, had a picture of her recently deceased grandmother on her mortarboard. âI promised my granny that I was going to do it, and I did.,â Gaulden said.
James Bullock, a sports management graduate and former member of the Rams football team, was at the front of the processional with a large crown atop graduation cap. About 25 family members from Cleveland were there to cheer him on.
Berenice Rodriguez, a nursing graduate whose parents migrated from Mexico, displayed the message, âLo Hicimos. Gracias mami y papi,â which means âWe did it. Thank you, mom and dad.â Rodriguez is the first in her family to graduate from college. âI did what Iâm doing for them.â
Class of 2017
WSSU recognized more than 1,200 graduates during the ceremony.
The ceremony honored WSSU students who earned their degrees in summer and fall 2016 and spring 2017. Many outstanding students were among the class of 2017. More than 1,100 undergraduates and 129 graduates received degrees.
Graduates included:
Sisters Eomba F. and Edith Pungu, immigrants from the Congo who are earning their masterâs in nursing degree to become family nurse practitioners. The sisters will cross the stage together for the second time as WSSU graduates.
Nursing Bridge to Ph.D. Scholars Nicole Calhoun, Morine Cebert and LaKita M.J. Knight, who will earn their masterâs degree and continue their education this fall as doctorate in nursing students at Duke University.
Taylor Evans, a third-generation educator who has several job offers in special education.
Victoria Segwick, a chemistry major who will attend the Medical Sciences Ph.D. Program at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Anthony Wells, a marketing major who plans to join AllianceBerstein as a private wealth consultant in New York City. While at WSSU, he studied abroad in Brazil and the Dominican Republic and studied at the Harvard University Business School.
Also at the ceremony:
Dr. Donna Gwyn Wiggins, associate professor of music, was awarded the 2017 Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Dr. Brenda Allen, provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs, received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters for her contributions during her eight-year tenure at WSSU. Allen was recently selected as the president of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania.
