10 Things About Me
1. I’m extremely claustrophobic. I could never be an astronaut or cave explorer. I can’t even be strapped into a Disney ride.
2. I took ballet for 10 years. I even made it to point. (Toe shoes)
3. I toured a couple of islands with a small jazz dance troupe while attending BYU Hawaii.
4. My company went from a single employee (me) publishing one tiny niche publication to 40 employees producing 30 art and crafting magazine titles.
5. I’m uncomfortable being in the limelight. I’d rather be behind the scenes, as long as people are aware of my accomplishments.
6. I wish I had had more than one child. My son would have made a wonderful big brother.
7. I love working with teens. I'm currently teaching an art journaling class to at-risk teens.
8. I miss living in a small town. I grew up in Rupert, Idaho and miss the “bigness” of small events.
9. I absolutely love romantic comedies, but also count scary movies like Alien and Event Horizon among my favorites.
10. I’m wondering if my new obsession (and it truly is an obsession) with photography and Flickr will diminish over time so that I can actually get the laundry done and groceries bought. Is there an intervention program for Flickr addiction?

Yes I posted some similar color shots earlier the year but have been on black and white processing this week so...
A Gen4 Toyota pickup from the mid-1980s shows off its own kind of beauty with the natural colors of the surrounding flora.
this is for a project, inspired by The Great Gatsby. I convinced my AP language teacher to make the final project after the AP exam a creative project so I could take photos. so now I'm taking photos about self discovery and actualization.
After chatting with Darren Hopkins. and getting inspired on his amazing new take on the orb.Thought i would have a play with Orbs again. Not sure about them yet. think i need to iron out a few issues.
Sometimes it´s just magical! My 50mm, that is :)

Sometimes it isn't that easy to distinguish between flying and reality. Is this how we percieve our own conscience?
Hay veces que no es tan fácil distinguir entre volar y la realidad. ¿Es así como percibimos nuestra propia consciencia?
What seems so obvious to us, may not be true at all. Life can be what it is not; or what we don't think it is.
30 Days of Perception - Day 25
We spend a lot of our time looking at screens: computers, iPads, iPhones, TV ... how did all of that happen? Sometimes, it's really necessary to seek out a horizon by looking into the distance. We need to seek depth and a longer view to rest our eyes and mind.
From my home, there is no view, only buildings - so I feel the need to get out every day to look beyond the brick and concrete walls, to feel liberated and able to breathe in the openness.
Today, there are no bright colourful scenes to impress our eyes. But the subdued scenes like this allow us to listen to what's happening inside.
I caught tiny patches of blue sky and that opened my inner horizons as I let them swirl around inside of me.
Even when the horizons are hidden by mist and greyness, the sky can uplift our minds as we take in the wider view.
I got a wide angle lens for my birthday, and I thought The Dish would be a good place for an inaugural photo shoot.
Way-wide-angle lenses are so odd for the first time user. I had never even looked through one before, much less used one, and so I’m not sure if I have ever had this perspective before. It’s not quite intuitive to me. In contrast, a telephoto lens is familiar territory, like a telescope or binoculars, and macro zoom is like a microscope…
Wide is wild. It’s like de-evolving the vision system from predator to prey, from front focus to side vision.

ID 1335
Juan Gris Spanish 1887 - 1927
The Man at the Café ,, 1914
Oil and newsprint collage on canvas
This work is the largest collage by Gris, and the only one to feature a human figure. Inspired by the fictional criminal mastermind Fantômas, popular in serial novels and silent films, Gris humorously captured a shady character hiding his face, his fedora casting an ominous shadow. The newspaper article, cut and pasted from Le Matin, reads, “One will no longer be able to make fake works of art,” although Gris himself attempted to trick the eye with the wood-grain paneling of the café interior.

…But, in any case, Braque, rather than anyone else—including Fernande—now directed Picasso’s thoughts.
The two artists continued to work intensively, both separately and together, to develop their perceptions and determine how far it was possible to take them. When they were not working, they still hung around the streets together; in the evenings, they still went to the circus—Gertrude Stein came across them in William Uhde’s gallery one day dressed as (auguste) clowns from the Medrano. Or they went to the movies, where they could now see Nick Carter, hero of their favourite paperback detective stories, on the silver screen. That summer of 1908, the newly established film company Éclair had brought out the first Nick Carter movie, “Le Guet-Apens” (The Doctor’s Rescue), in which the hero disguises himself as a disreputable beggar to mix with and outwit the local gangsters.
In the streets of Paris, picture houses of varying quality continued to proliferate. The establishment of new cinemas seemed unstoppable…
More promisingly for the development of cubism, in 1910 Juan Gris arrived in Montmartre, where Picasso arranged for him to rent van Dongen’s old studio in the Bateau-Lavoir. Gris moved in with his lover and their baby, who could be seen suspended from the window in a makeshift hammock. There was no room for a pram in the hall in the Bateau-Lavoir. Dark, reserved and handsome, he immediately attracted the attention of Gertrude Stein, fortuitously adding weight to her theory that cubism was really a Spanish invention.
