This photo was taken during the purge of my big pile of Memory Boxes accumulated over the years, starting from childhood.
I wanted to include something that made reference to my mums love of threads and textiles, I sorted through the materials and choose organzas, silks and velvets - all rich with texture and meaning, all delicate and fragile.
I manipulated them into a blue blown rose - when I was a child my mum had a rose garden, in it was a small 'Blue Moon' rose that had not flowered before. One day I saw it had flowered, so I picked it and took it into my mum - she was not best pleased!
God I'm so ghey. "CLASSIFIED INFORMATION" indeed.
I love too how only some of my letters are capitalized. I have the same problem now when hand-writing things in all-caps. I just forget what I'm doing halfway through my words. :P

Paper cranes that Allison and John sent me during a very rough time in my life.

Not sure why I didn't do these sooner, but...here they are. I love these storybook boxes. I have done the bigger boxes but thought I would try some smaller ones and I am glad I did.
Handpainted and decoupaged they are finished inside and out. Edges are done to add a little depth. Far Away, has a beautiful blue cabochon. Ball feet are added to match.
Measures-5 1/4" x 3 1/2" x 3 1/2". Sealed for protection.
Great little trinket box!
Pre made polka dit treat bag, Sizzix Trick or Treat set. I used the main image, but only die cut the "trick" & "treat" on words to attach. I also used the "or" from the die set and attached it to a old chipboard cat I had which I colored with a black copic & a orange jewel eye. On the top I used the Memory Box Debutante Frame embossed with the Darice Stars embossing folder and folded in half, a little "Happy Halloween" sticker made into a tag & it's all set to go!

Oregon Coast, 2023
This camera is an old friend. Truthfully, it's not old; I purchased it in late 2017. Or maybe it was 2018.
It's sealed for dust and water protection. It is even designed as an underwater camera, though I've never practiced that type of photography. I purchased it for Seattle's rainy (and occasionally snowy) winters, enabling me to walk around without concerns of using it in the rainiest or snowiest of weather. My foul-weather camera. Simple controls; clean design; straight-forward software. As usual, they got the basics right.
The external viewfinder isn't really designed for this camera and is from an older sister camera I own, an X1. But it works o.k. for this application, as well. Sometimes I use the viewfinder; sometimes not. It's taken me a long time to get to using the back LCD screens as viewfinders on most cameras. I really dislike the poor ergonomics associated with this and the outstretched arms. Not much discreetness there. However, I use my phone camera more often now, that’s usually your only option when using those, and have gotten a bit more used to it.
Because this camera is sealed against dust and dirt, I'd say it's become a "beach camera" of sorts. I love beach photography and thought about this too when purchasing it. I’ve had other cameras get sand and other tiny contaminants on the sensor in the past in those environments. They can be difficult to clean But the truth is, I've only been to the ocean beaches (i.e., outside Puget Sound beaches) twice in the past five years. Yesterday (October 6) was my first visit to see the Pacific since I visited Ruby Beach off the Washington coast in October 2018.
Friday, I visited the Washington coast around its Long Beach Peninsula for the first time, though I've driven through the general area several times before. After several longish walks exploring the Washington coast where the Columbia River empties into the Pacific, I took a brief two-and-a-half-hour detour into Oregon before driving home. I drove 30-miles into Oregon to one of my favorite beaches, Arcadia Beach. I left for home not long after the sun set, maybe 7PM, or 7:30, and arrived back home late last night / early this morning.
I used to go to the Oregon Coast often through much of the period between 1990 through 2017. It was always a favorite destination. At first, it was a scenic way to drive to San Francisco. Soon, it became a destination.
..
Last night, the battery of a second camera I brought with me ran out while taking photographs at sunset on this beach. I found a large piece of driftwood to sit down on while I dug the spare battery out of my pack. I laid this camera besides me, and the golden sun reflecting off the makeshift wood bench and the metal of the camera just caught my eye. So, this photograph represents sort of a golden still life of a favorite memory box.
...
I had (and still have) an earlier version of this camera. My first Leica, an X1, purchased in 2011. It still takes great photographs, as clear as when I first purchased it. It has a fixed 24mm focal length lens and an APS-C "cropped" sensor, so it takes a photograph with the field of view of a 36mm focal length lens on 35mm film or a digital camera with a full-frame sensor. I've replaced it’s shoulder rope strap with a leather wrist strip and converted it to a pocket camera for walking around the city more discreetly sometimes.
The camera in this photograph will never be a pocket camera. It’s simply too large. The rubbery, protective cover would be too resistant for sliding into and out of a cloth pocket. I have a small pack to carry it in.
