Outstanding in the Field

I'm SOO impressed with these guys.
Expect to see me atop Table Mountain in a similar vein.
mmah!

mmm! PIE!!

me & the tuba

I cannot explain how much fun I had this day. But, this is the tip of the iceberg. Props again to Paige Green, & her Rollei camera.

Pecha Kucha

I will be presenting 20 slides in 20 seconds, TBA - both in San Francisco & in Cape Town, South Africa. I will keep you posted, & share my presentation once it's up.
I'm very excited about this project.

Marla Olmstead - my latest hero

I am completely in love with Marla Olmstead.
aw...she is soo sweet!
I Love her!...
I just watched the documentary on her, & all the flack her family took in re: to the authenticity of her paintings.
It's so obvious to me, the purity in her paintings.
I am a harsh critic when it comes to art, period.
And, these paintings are gorgeous.
I love them.
I love her.
I am inspired.
And, I just want to give a hand to her parents for obviously looking out for her best interests.
I know they've had a hard time, but their best intents seem clear.
And, it appears as though, despite her "fame", she's still able & encouraged to be a kid!...a gorgeous, beautiful kid at that!
Props to Zane (the brother) too.
also awesome.

Saul Wainwright's Photography

I feel inspired to share some of my husband's photography.
This was taken in Cape Town, S. Africa, where we've spent our past 2 winters (3 & 4 months respectively), living on the beach.
This was taken on Clifton beach, at an event known as: Moonstruck.
He may not think it's the best photo he's ever taken, but I love it.
I think it's magical.

Intent: big, ratty hair!, eggs: creamy, like milk (next time,we're hiring a pro-stylist!)

Picture A:
this is a 'scary gir'l in a tub.
This is a girl with a boot.
This girl says, "You best Step Back!".
This girl sits in a tub with Eggs.
30 dozen eggs.
1/2 hard-boiled.
1/2 raw.
This girl owns the nest.
This girl sits in raw fertility; ripe.
powerful.
Bathing in it.
Bathing in the divine, eternal mother.
welcome. to the lady of the egg.

Picture B:
this was supposed to be ratty hair - wild, like a birds nest.
Otherwise, it's: beautiful colors, lipstick, white eggs, tanned skin, antique bathtub, & Petaluma grass.
This was my concept/vision.
This was Paige Green's artistry on film.
There will be much more of this to come.
