Momentum
Given everything, focusing on making beautiful things that distract is going to be my coping mechanism moving forward. If you feel this blog does that for you PLEASE share and subscribe if you don’t already. Trying to figure out how to populate FB/Instagram with less of Me and my intellectual property!
Last Summer I was commissioned to create a piece for the Northampton Survival Center’s (food pantry) annual thank you post card set for donors. The theme was Family Dinner. This was sent out to all donors at a certain level in variety pack of 12 postcards. this required some Photo-shoot skills and forced me to focus on a single image for a few weeks-somethign I rarely do but want to do more of.
January I moved back to the Gallery in North Amherst where I was for 2 years prior to my flooded basement last March. My goal here is to change my images every quarter to coincide with the quarterly receptions.
February I was awarded ton of honors for photographs entered in a photo contest with the Anza Borrego Desert Photo Contest. Anza Borrego is a California State Park situated 1/2 way between San Diego and Palm springs.
February I have a show hanging at our local Y. In a high traffic area. Even though there was no opening or publicity other than my own I have gotten alot of positive feedback. I hung the show mid day when the Y was pretty busy and quite a few people chatted me up. alway fun to explain what people are looking at.
March this show with some additions moves to a new venue for a few months!
Ongoing I’m stretching things out a bit and starting to work with toning (with Green Tea!) and multiple exposures. Print above of the curtains blowing is one such example. Here are some more:

I tried to make a comment about the exciting new tea dying work but it was IMPOSSIBLE – I spent 15 min on it and gave up! -filling out form then looking for where to submit..? then was sent to a page to sign in with my password which I happen to have one for wordpress and then clicked and it says “looks like you made a similar comment! “and I tried several other approaches and gave up. so dont be dissapointed if no one comments ! 🙄🫤
