Jerry Uelsmann

I am going to be meeting Jerry Uelsmann this week at Richlan College. I am so excited. I've always loved his work and his images.

He is the expert in dark room developing. All of his work is done with an enlarger in the darkroom, NO DIGITAL manipulating here! I'm just so excited to meet him and talk to him. This is a once in a life time opportunity! I have always admired him and consider him an inspiration.

Yikes...so long ago

I've not turned out to be a good blogger huh! sorry, I'll be better! so much going on, really...that's why my doll is thinking...at least I think that's what she looks like she's doing....My mom loves this doll, she said it reminds her of me, ahhh motherly love... so I'm in school now and my photography teacher says that I should always "create surprises", are you surprised by this picture? Anyway, no more rain, please. I can't get my camera wet! Oh and Sophia went to the arboretum and she loved it, Joel got a C at the dentist... I swear he brushes his teeth everyday, I don't know what's going on there. My boo is behind on my math work...what am I going to do with him...My parents are still not here! that's all I gotta say about that and finally life IS NOT like a box of chocolates, more like a pack of altoids! You figure the irony in that!!

Son's Gift

My Joey gave this to me!

Yellow Bicycle Man

So I don't travel as much as I'd like to, but
when we used to go to visit my Dad
(weird saying used to)
we would come across this quaint little
town called Calvert, Texas...
It has cool store fronts with like
antique shops and a cafe, and a western
furniture place etc. but right in the
middle of all this is this...
yellow bicycle man..
What do you suppose the artist who did it
was thinking...maybe he was a bike rider,
or maybe he did it for Lance Armstrong...
the yellow was the clue...So anyone
out there who knows something
about this let me know...
just curious...

Have you seen anything prettier...

I know...I'm ashamed, but I can't help it...

These are just gorgeous...

Random, I know...

But I need something to keep my mind off of

all the stress...seriously, why do I stress so

much...

Tree

I was walking and I saw this branch on the ground...

Doesn't it look like a tree?
