I was feeling a bit down this morning, and I think I really needed to see this. What a fantastic friendship between the two unlikely pair of buddies..Found this on CuteOverload of course ;o)
Delicate Balance was the chosen one by the Juror! And the prize winner is LUCY!!! Yay!
thank you guys for all of your support & comments :)
Burning tyres. Rocks strewn across road. Eyes watering from tear gas. A line of riot police. Jeering crowds. Fleeing people. Chaos.
well, not exactly 24 hours but tomorrow is the drawing so critique me while there's still time :o) ! (read post below)
Those of you who already have, thank you for your insight, your compliments and your suggestions as well as taking the time to view my work. It's something personal, yet needs to be shared.
You all kick ass!!
For some reason, I am in an anarchy-kind of mood..perhaps the Mad Men finale sparked a "fire in my Belly" for rebellion. Or perhaps it was the non-stop Who music I have been playing in the house? All I know is..this movie is the perfect companion to my emotions..
Watched the Mad Men season finale and loved it! The storyline is one of the best I have ever seen on tv (and I have watched a lot on the tube). I wholeheartedly recommend you get yourself a copy of season 1 & settle in for an evening of dashing ad men and sharp dames..
Hello pumpkins! I haven't forgotten you, I swear! It's just been an odd end to the year and I have been having a bit of a hiatus from photography - wedding and street-wise. It was much needed, but what can I say - I have now started to have a lovely tickle to actually want to lift a camera up and start taking some photos again. :) So, watch this space, as the film is in my Holga 35mm and I'm back on the streets of London!
This past weekend, I drove down to NC to meet my wee nephew for the very first time.
On Saturday, my sis and her hubby put on a picnic for family and friends down at Topsail Island.
He was also christened today and put on quite the show - nice waterworks, indeed! :)
Just realized that I have never sent a post to my neighbors prior to this.I did today in hope for your feedback, thoughts, critiques, ideas, etc.
Today is the submission for the Winter Juried Art Exhibition. Each artist can submit up to three works in any medium. I selected and submitted these three photos (8X10 matted & framed) - with the advice/counsel/assistance of a couple of important people.
Delicate Balance:
Part-Time:
Broken Home:
Although they are now in the hands of the juror..I want to know what you all think. I'm not fishing for compliments here...that's not what it's about. I am intrigued by people's perceptions. This came up in conversation last night while trying to choose which ones to enter...
So...if you'd be so inclined tell me your thoughts. They by no means have to be 'good' and no I won't hold it against you or stop reading your posts. :) Everyone interprets art differently and I understand and respect that. In order to improve my work, I want to know what other's see when they look at it.
some questions to think about...
which one do you favor, if any? why?
what do these images evoke?
is there one or more that you wouldn't have submitted? which and why?
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU? A prize of course. All you awesome neighbors who leave feedback will be entered into a little drawing to win an 8x10 copy of one of the above photos (the winner chooses the photo they want). Drawing will take place on Tuesday.
=)
Making It Happen
from DailyOm
There are times in our lives when all the signs seem to be pointing us in a particular direction. Our thoughts and dreams are echoed in the songs and stories we hear and the media we see. Maybe the message we are getting from the universe doesn’t even make sense in the “real” world, but somewhere inside, these urges feel right. Maybe you feel you are being told to move to a new city although your life where you are is just fine. Or maybe you feel the desire to pursue a new direction in your career when it never really interested you before. When we spend time getting in touch with our higher selves, our intuition sends us directives to lead us to become our best and most fulfilled selves. And when we are open and listening, the next step is to take action and go for it.
Once we make the decision to pursue our inner urgings, the universe sets into motion the means for all sorts of details to fall into place. A sense of peace will come over us, because we know that any questions will no longer make us wonder if our dreams are possible, but how to make them happen. Instead of deterring us from our goal, these questions only serve to clarify our focus to move us forward. We need not throw caution to the wind to follow our dream. The positive shift in our energy affects everything around us. Like a rush of water, it goes ahead to clear debris from our path so that we can go forward. Our new attitude also attracts likeminded people. Sometimes even the most unlikely angels arrive to help us along our way with the information and support we need.
Wherever your dreams are pointing you today, take a step. Take action and manifest your inner urges and soul whisperings.
