Tonight is the opening reception of Le Mois de la Photo (The month of photography) of which I have 6 images in from my 2 series Re-Wild and Papillon. There are a total of 14 photographers showing, to my understanding and well....I don't mean to sound like a snob but from many years of past experience, even when the organizer "chooses" the work to ( Read more... )

Not surprised but upset and concerned....Yes, I live in France now so there is distance but not really as this does affect me and my friends and loved ones who don't deserve this. Again, a bully who has screamed, punched and abused everyone in his path is again in a position of power. Instead of going into therapy to talk about how his father ( Read more... )

On the good news front:

- I am dropping my 6 framed photographs to the exhibition space tomorrow and the exhibit will run almost the whole month of November...the month of photography and while that is good, the cultural center has limited hours so aside from the opening reception, I am not exactly sure who will be there to see it. *shrug*

I started working for the season so between that, the jewelry, my photography and my vlog series on YouTube, I have had little down time. Today, I will finally begin printing for the photo exhibit in November. It will only be 6 prints (will be printing 7 in case there is more room on the walls of the gallery and it is my friend who is organizing ( Read more... )

First, a call of urgency, my friends, if I may ask again...and I am very sorry to have to but we are completely playing catch-up with our financial situation since I didn't receive any money at all from the government aid I usually get this past summer and I will not be getting much each month starting now from them until next year when I re-apply ( Read more... )

Like lembas bread in the Lord of the Rings, the rain is never-ending at present here in France and it will continue all week long with temps dropping. I adore gray skies and colder temps but the constant rain/humidity gets into my bones and muscles which I am not a big fan of.

Having said that, today is my outing with my friend Alex and we are ( Read more... )

We returned last Thursday. night from our trip to Brittany so here is the first post. First, Paimpol...the town in Brittany which was our headquarters was theee most uneventful, uninspiring town ever...seriously, I have been to quite a few "touristy" places here in France (note that if you don't know, I already hate people but the tourists are ( Read more... )

You know.....I am a self-potrait photographer for more than 27 years and one of my "things" is the romantic imagery of the Pictoralists and so I have a lot of work in my white, flowy dress that are un-apologetically romantic since around 2006.....there is a German woman photographer who I have been following for a long time now and we are "friends ( Read more... )

I am waiting for my camera battery to charge to do jewelry videos today. I planned on charging it last night but forgot so I thought it a good time to write an update.

Not much new. I have the back-to-school stomach sick feeling. It's really odd! I am 55 years old and I STILL get this feeling when September hits. Pfft. I did, however, book my first ( Read more... )

Two days ago, I was published for like the 4th time in L'oeil de la Photographie (The Eye of Photography) with my Re-Wild series. The founder and editor-in-chief is so completely awesome and generous to do so. If you are interested, here it is in English.  You would need to subscribe to see all of the images, but honestly, you can go to my website ( Read more... )
