PNCA presents its first juried alumni exhibition in the Swigert Commons. This exhibition provides a rare opportunity for PNCA and the Portland cultural community to see the scope of contemporary art, craft, and design by alumni from PNCA’s Bachelor of Fine Arts and Masters of Fine Arts programs. It offers the viewer the opportunity to become an institutional archaeologist, to dig down through the accumulated strata of object, image, and idea to get at the cultural DNA of the College. For alumni, it is an appropriate homecoming or completion of a circle.

36:366 - Trusting Yourself
Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. --Rita Mae Brown
Our distrust is very expensive. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Want to know how to test how well you trust yourself? Do an arts and crafts project. Paint. Draw. Write. It is amazing what you learn about yourself as you move forward. Do you allow yourself to move forward or do you keep changing things? Do you trust yourself enough to not ask anyone for help? Do you finish what you started?
I have realized with writing that I have lost faith in myself. I used to be able to write from my heart and be satisfied with what I had written. I turned away from writing for a while and focused on other things. Now that I am writing again, I realized that I over edit. I found myself analyzing my writing almost to death, adding in paragraphs, even changing the subject of my entire piece. Looking back, I realized that I just didn't trust myself. I knew I was out of practice and decided that what I was writing could not be good enough on the first draft. Of course it couldn't. After all, it was a first draft!! Then my best friend kindly pointed out that often I was revising something that was great and changing it to something that was just acceptable.
How terrible. By not trusting myself, I was devaluing not only what I had written, but also lowering the reality of who I am.
Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's. ~Billy Wilder
I should never allow myself to fail to achieve what I am capable of creating because I have lost faith in who I am. I need to love myself enough to not abuse myself in that matter.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. --Scott Adams
As I saw this piece of artwork at the children's science museum, I realized that this artist had faith in his/herself. What a lovely reminder that we must take lessons from our kids sometimes because they often treat themselves better than we do.
Trusting your intuition means tuning in as deeply as you can to the energy you feel, following that energy moment to moment, trusting that it will lead you where you want to go and bring you everything you desire. --Shakti Gawain
Trust yourself. You will be amazed by how much more life has to give.
My life changed suddenly and dramatically a year ago when my dad died unexpectedly. The last year has been difficult in many ways, but I also know I've grown as a person and have a clearer vision of where I want my path in life to lead. This weekend I created a new self-portrait to help express some of my feelings on this first 'anniversary.' The portrait demonstrates the increased trust, belief, and faith in myself I've earned by dealing with so much more than I'd ever imagined during the past year.
O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
Psalm 7:1

After all the B&W last week, it's time for some vibrant color :) This was taken this past Saturday. It was a busy day. I had to work and then after work we were out doing things. As we were going home the day was close to ending. I was watching the sky and commenting to Andrezza that it could turn into a nice sunset. She looked at the grey clouds, then looked at me in disbelief thinking there was no way this sky was gonna give us a sunset. But I had a gut feeling you know. So not long after we got home, I grabbed the camera and was like, "I'm gonna go down to the pond to see if there's anything worth shooting. Wanna come?" She reluctantly tagged along. Once we got there, we didn't have to wait long. Soon the sky was filling with color, and the lack of wind made the pond like a mirror. It was truly beautiful. Andrezza just kind of shook her head with a wry little smile, then took my camera to shoot a few frames of her own. Moral of the story… trust your gut :)
I'm not sure exactly what happened here. I only caught this out of the corner of my eye but it appeared as though this Burner fell off this piece backwards and was caught by friends. Trust fall style. Maybe she fainted.
When I visited years ago this housed a Brother Cadfael exhibition. Now the Shropshire Wildlife Trust owns it and the garden was really good.
Dodecatheon meadia is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae, native to North America. It is found in the American South, as well as the Upper Midwest, Kansas, New York, Pennsylvania and the Canadian province of Manitoba. It grows in woods and prairies and tolerates partial shade.
It is commonly known as Shooting Star, though this name may also refer to other species.
It has white or pink petals which nod from an umbel, protruding from a scape 8–20 in (203–508 mm). It flowers in the spring.
Finally got my Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D. :)
For this picture I used my Nikon D40 with my 55-200mm lens, at the end of that I reversed my new 50mm 1.8 with a macro coupler. As I understand it this give me a 4:1 magnification.
"Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon him, and to let him know that you trust him." (Booker T. Washington)

Bodnant Garden (Welsh: Gardd Bodnant) is a National Trust property near Tal-y-Cafn, Conwy, Wales, overlooking the Conwy Valley towards the Carneddau mountains.
Founded in 1874 and developed by five generations of one family, it was gifted to the National Trust in 1949. The garden spans 80 acres of hillside and includes formal Italianate terraces, informal shrub borders stocked with plants from around the world, The Dell, a gorge garden, a number of notable trees and a waterfall.
Since 2012, new areas have opened including the Winter Garden, Old Park Meadow, Yew Dell and The Far End, a riverside garden. Furnace Wood and Meadow opened in 2017. There are plans to open more new areas, including Heather Hill and Cae Poeth Meadow.
This rather futuristic-looking thing is actually an arty historical thing... sort of. National Trust Croome are doing something fascinating and innovative where they're bringing the history of Croome Court alive through art installations in the property. This one is called 'I Am Archive'.
Another OLW layout.
This is a picture at the beach I can see from my window where the fishermen usually stand to fish. The cement blocks in the distance always look so ominous, like a giant wall blocking me from leaving this island... but life often feels that way, too, doesn't it? You just have to trust someone knows what's going on better than your do.
