c'est moi

i once saw a bumper sticker...it didn't say to what it was referring, just that:
"it's not a passion, it's an obsession." that's photography, to me.

little kingdom, big world (aka weird or scary little face)

a 2007 winner in the Southern Shutters photography contest @ the Clay House Museum in Madison AL

years ago, when I was more naive than I am now, and while my husband worked at tmi (not during the accident) he told me not to believe what newspapers, etc. write...that things are - - at the very least - - often taken out of context.

well it hardly compares - - the small faux pas in the article about the southern shutters exhibit - - but I couldn't help remembering dave telling me that, when I was both misquoted (that's another story) AND they got the title of this photo wrong...

the article said the photo is of my daughter's eyes 'looking at' a tree line (it didn't mention how abstract it is and the photo wasn't pictured), and without giving the orig. title added an extra word to its aka and called it 'our scary little face.' I laughed and laughed, I texted terri about it and laughed some more. finally she said, 'all right, mom, it isn't that funny,' but I found it hilarious. I felt it sounded as if she were downright hideous. well...it struck ME as funny...

nothing like a nice long soak... wwaaaaaaaaaiiitt a minute!

can you see mark in the driver's seat? I think there might be something wrong with his car. should we tell him?

planet "barns are noble 2"

hi guys. remember me? probably not... i've been a terrible smugmug pal.

i've been preoccupied with fostering basenjis http://www.basenjirescue.org/ (3 in the past 3 months!), designing literature for our church's expansion, and my sweet sister-in-law ginny -
http://www.amywilburn.smugmug.com/keyword/ginny#297562015_Q7edY - has been dragging me around getting me to enter my pics in all kinds of art fairs and such. i even have part of a wall at a local starbucks.

i'm sorry i've not checked out anyone's pics in a long time. thanks for checking on me, guys (laura, hillary and brian). i hope we're still pals, george. vandana, my son jesse was just talking about your neat photos yesterday as we sat outside with our pics in huntsville's sidewalk arts stroll.

(even mark is complaining that i'm not putting up any more cool pics for him to use on his christianspaceonline and myspace.)

hi guys. i've been a little preoccupied with a dog we've been fostering and have decided to adopt. then last friday mark and jesse were rear-ended by a fire truck. their heads knocked out the back window of mark's pickup. they both went to the ER with concussions. mark's truck was totaled and he was fired from his job (even though he had an excuse from our doctor) because he'd already missed his limit of days. they're still hurting but gradually feeling better. and i'm back now:)

in this pic i was trying to get mark's stubble:) this was last january. he has more scruff at the moment. i'd better go get my camera...

i'm excited, smugmuggers...

the valley planet, a cool, free local paper, is thinking of putting one of my planets on the cover of their next issue. i put this one up for them to choose from. coincidentally it's a planet of one of my fave pics i have of the TN house.

thankfully he has an escape route from this prison, george:)

i find all the various placements of their hands interesting

(not even santa looks happy)

don't look back, quesadilla enchilada, don't look back!

faux planets :

and the winners are... : okay, sometimes I'm not taking these shots each day, but rather adding an old fave:)
...but SOME of them ARE shots of the day or weekend or week, NOT oldies

I started this gallery with the intent of putting together some of my pics that have won contests...that was like the first two! - - ha! but then I found the daily photo community and added the gallery to it...without changing its name (I don't know why I don't feel like changing it - - maybe because the gallery name has a positive, confident feel to it, and I'm really anything but that).

faux planets :

faux planet info and how-to : sherstone showed some people in another community how to make these really cool planets. thecuriouscamel made a beautiful world of her own using one of her photos and the instructions from the photojojo website. she says sean always finds all kinds of interesting things to do.

so here is a little community which I hope grows with galleries of strange and awesome new worlds:) thanks, sherstone!!!
