two angels sit on my shoulders, and lest you imagine one angelic and one satanic, it's not quite like that...
on one shoulder is a friend who exhorts me to post more often.
on the other, my partner, who exhorts me to post happier things. no one, he thinks, wants to read about a depressed artist.
how do I satisfy both angels?
I can admit that few people want to read episodes of excessive navel-gazing. especially when I talk about bad things.
it's a chronic challenge for me: how to portray what I think of as a badness in the positive light that it may actually exist in...
for the time being, I thought I should just note that I'm thinking about that.
I've got a lot of recent pictures to add, but I will be away for a week, so I won't be making those updates until later this month. meanwhile, I'm thinking happy thoughts.

Brian,
I was in Port Angeles this past May enjoying a couple of weeks teaching myself the joys of outdoor photography on the Olympic Peninsula. I stopped by your booth at the Port Angeles arts fair and enjoyed browsing your work.
I've had your business card in my wallet ever since then and thought I'd give your site a look. Keep up the beautiful work. The images are tender and I'm inspired by the way you've used some of the web's simple tools to make a consistently enjoyable view of your work.
Thanks for doing what you do!

in my humble opinion you should post what you're feeling....an artist feels deep feelings and sometimes the best art is torn from a tortured artist.

Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.
Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
