long time no blog
I've been away from my blog for a while, working on adding another blog.
I decided to separate out a lot of the photos I would put here into a blog that could just be about the photos. that way, I wouldn't care so much about limiting the number of photos I put here, and could really indulge the shots that I like (at least on the day I pick them!).
so, after a few weeks of reviewing my shoots since late February of this year (material from prior shoots has already been incorporated into my floragraphy portfolio), cropping and re-sizing for the web, I can now announce my new photo diary blog:
the floragraphy photo diary
clearly, from that blog, you can tell I've been shooting a lot (although it's pretty damp this morning and I wanted to shoot today too). I've been to places I've never been to before, like Aitken's Salmon Creek Garden down in Vancouver, Washington (the Aitkens are really amazing iris gardeners, and they have a great collection of orchids too), and, since I have wanted to visit since the first time I saw the sign on the side of I-5 in Woodland, the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens.
I've also had word on more shows. got into the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival, which is way cool (and my first show in California!) as well as Bumbershoot in Seattle, so I'm looking forward to that. I was also invited to jury for two other shows which I've since added to my schedule.
strangely (at least, to me), I also managed to have two of my photographs accepted into the juried competition that runs together with the Edmonds Arts Festival. I say strangely, because my work was not accepted for vendor status at that same festival. so I'm good enough for the fine arts jury, but not good enough for the vendor jury. ok.
the personal dramas that plagued Hiro and I in April seem to be calming down somewhat. it looks like Hiro will be back in classes come July, although we don't have a final word yet whether the new university will push his reinstatement paperwork or not. the Saab has been returned, although I don't yet know if Saab will charge me anything beyond my overmileage charges. the Previa had a flat a week or so ago, and then I found out that the alignment was way off on both axles. and to make our use of the Previa much more enjoyable, the lock on the driver's door has stopped working, so I now climb in and out through the passenger side. hopefully this will all get fixed soon enough.
other than that, I'm in the run-up to the show in Port Angeles in two weeks (thanks again to my gracious hostess Laureen). so prints and mats and frames are my life once more. :)
time to get back to it!
