This was the view 'out the window' of Lake Mead and the surrounding mountains. It was a good photography omen for the rest of the trip.
Thanks for looking!

This is the cut out city scape I've been working on for my solo show at Gallery 360 in Minneapolis, MN. Opens Nov 10. 2012. I plan to have them displayed around the perimeter of the gallery with paintings hung above. The stand up with slotted tabs like paper dolls. I have forty finished and plan on 100 for the show. I am excited to see them in the space at Gallery 360. (c) 2012 Barbara Gilhooly
You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here...
The purpose of your life is to live it in full, to experience it to the utmost, to reach out with an open mind for the newest and richest experience being offered at the time.

First of all, I broke the rules today. Just wanted to warn you that you will be bombarded with some shots of the converse. There are plenty of other photos to check out, but the shoes come first. I just couldn't help it. They were there, the lighting was great, my camera was in my hand, it's like converse crack or something!
my daughter lacing up her (my!) converse to go out and play.
Love natural light and how with just a tweak or two, you can turn your background dark. Sweet!
No more nudity for free, sorry too many abusers out there.

I dropped my Droid a few weeks ago and the front of it shattered. So I got an iPhone. I never realized what a Mac girl I am, but after switching from PC to a Macbook a couple of years ago and now to an iPhone, I will never go back.

25th Ickworth Wood & Craft Fair
A great day out on Sunday 5 October 2014, at the 25th Ickworth Wood and Craft Fair.
It all began in the in 1989 when after the great storm of 1987, the estate found it had significant tree damage and an excess of wood to dispose of. The first sales of wood were held in the empty shell that was the West Wing of Ickworth at the time, but it rapidly grew out of this space and moved outside. Today it's evolved into a weekend for everyone to enjoy as woodcraft and many other country craft professionals and enthusiasts come together to demonstrate and sell their crafts. The fair includes live bands, locally brewed ales, pottery tent with raku firing, plenty of local foods and produce, wood demonstrations, craft stalls and children's activities including archery to test your skills.
Ickworth Wood
This is a rare opportunity for wood professionals and enthusiasts to buy quality Ickworth wood milled from the estate. Choose from oak, ash, sycamore, cedar and cherry, ¼ sawn 1" to 2 ½" planks. The wood this year was naturally resourced after the recent storms, as well as felled within the management of the estate.
Specialist Wood Displays and Stalls
An opportunity to watch craftsmen at work turning British wood into unique pieces of art. A wide variety of stalls selling everything from handmade wooden puppets to tables, sculptures, rocking chairs and bird tables to windchimes.
Craft Stalls
Many stalls selling quality homemade and home restored items, by the stall holders. From tempting cakes to pretty jewellery. The perfect time to for early buying of Christmas presents that will impress everyone and that are not available on the high street.
Eating and Drinking Stalls
A wide variety to choose from. From hog roast, hot dogs or possibly a jacket potato, together with a refreshing glass of fresh lemonade or maybe a beer to wash it all down. The chance to take some local brewed St Peter's beer home or home brewed ciders.
Pottery
A visit the pottery tent where the Anglian potters could be found, selling a wide variety of beautiful handmade products including raku fired pieces. You could also see the Raku firing kiln and learn all about the art of pottery with live 'throwing wheel' demonstrations.
There were a number of other pottery stalls where you could admire the skills of the stall holders and purchase the items they've made. You could even add your own designs to a plate which would be fired and sent to you. A lovely momento to remember the day.
'Oliver' Steam Traction Engine
Oliver the 'Little Ruston' steam traction engine opened and closed the fair with his arrival and departure tooting his horn. Watching the engine at work sawing wood, a fantastic opportunity to step back in time and reminisce about bygone days.
As I was lining up the shots I was taking of this scene, this young man came up and asked me if I would take some shots of this brush he was putting on the market. I think for an ad he could use. Although I have never done this sort of thing, I agreed. He presumed I was an expert photographer from the way I was taking those shots and, I suppose, could take these shots no problem. So, I tried and made him the center of attention rather than just shooting the brushes.

As true Razorback fans, we took a moment on the beach at Destin to do a "HOGS" spell out with our bodies. How appropriate that there was a Razorback canopy in the background. (unplanned). I only wish their football season had gone better!
Out of Control: Visceral Influences on Behavior
Author: Loewenstein G.
Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Volume 65, Number 3, March 1996, pp. 272-292(21)
Abstract:
Understanding discrepancies between behavior and perceived self-interest has been one of the major, but largely untackled, theoretical challenges confronting decision theory from its infancy to the present.People often act against their self-interest in full knowledge that they are doing so; they experience a feeling of being "out of control." This paper attributes this phenomenon to the operation of "visceral factors," which include drive states such as hunger, thirst and sexual desire, moods and emotions, physical pain, and craving for a drug one is addicted to. The defining characteristics of visceral factors are, first, a direct hedonic impact (which is usually negative), and second, an effect on the relative desirability of different goods and actions. The largely aversive experience of hunger, for example, affects the desirability of eating, but also of other activities such as sex. Likewise, fear and pain are both aversive, and both increase the desirability of withdrawal behaviors. The visceral factor perspective has two central premises: First, immediately experienced visceral factors have a disproportionate effect on behavior and tend to "crowd out" virtually all goals other than that of mitigating the visceral factor. Second, people underweigh, or even ignore, visceral factors that they will experience in the future, have experienced in the past, or that are experienced by other people. The paper details these two assumptions, then shows how they can help to explain a wide range of phenomena: impulsivity and self-control, drug addiction, various anomalies concerning sexual behavior, the effect of vividness on decision making, and certain phenomena relating to motivation and action.

The house next door to ours was occupied by itinerant workers. They had a number of small children who werealways playing around in the sand, dust; just generally wandering around - their's wasn't an easy life - pumping water by hand, washing up outside under the pump etc.
I used to be able to see them and thought them fascinating subjects. I really wanted to try and capture then naturally - no poses etc so occasionally I would look for opportunities, without hopefully being seen.
One such arose, this day; when the mother went out and left the child behind. As he saw her leave he starting crying. In his hands you can see the piece of metal that they used to put into the gate to lock it.
She returned not long after. And as per usual he clambered into her arms and was all smiles.
This little guy was quite a character - you'll be seeing some more of him :-)

A night out at the Phillies Game. After a rocky 3 run 1st inning, Brett Myers settled in and pitched 7 more innings without giving up a run. The Phil's offense more than made up for it by scoring TWELVE runs. More photos from this game here.
