OK, you have to understand where I am coming from. We have two dogs that share our home. They follow me around everywhere. I get up from my chair and they are at my feet ready to follow. I pour myself cereal in the mornings and they are at my feet waiting for that first slice of banana. Time to check my e-mail and they are at my feet again! Zoey will hop in my lap and Yogi will lay under the desk. So I believe...<br />
there is NO feeling in the world greater than hugging a furry friend and feeling that soft, warm fur!!<br />
So when my daughter snapped this photo last night I had to post it on my blog. They look so cute and snugly that I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this shot! <br />

The Fiber Artists For Hope (FAH) is a group of 58 racially diverse women
from all over America, ranging in age from mid 30’s to 70’s. The group
formed in November of 2008 to exhibit art quilts that celebrated the
election of Barack Obama, the first African-American President of the
United States. <br />
<br />
FAH’s first exhibition opened on February 9 and ran until March 5, 2009
at The King Street Gallery of The Caftriz Foundation Arts Center of
Montgomery College in Silver Spring, MD, curated by artist Susan Walen
and professor Mary Staley.<br />
<br />Many of these same artists contributed to Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi's exhibit
and book, Journey of Hope: Quilts Inspired by President Barack Obama. (my quilt is in the book)!</span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Within the professional genre of art quilting, most groups are
homogeneous, this is the first group the artists know of that contains
such a vibrant balance of races. These artists value the trust they have
built with each other and are very excited to express their feelings,
present their research, tell their own stories, and most importantly,
support each other, once again, in another powerful exhibit about an
important social issue. <br />
<br />
The group keeps in touch and collaborates through an online group. The quilts can be seen at this link if you missed the show:</span></b><br /><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>September 11, 2001 was a dark day in the United States of America. The attacks changed forever the way we viewed our security and our place in the world. <br />It greatly affected me by witnessing it live on television that fateful morning. My innocence was shattered in a second! But our effort to rise to the challenges of a new era has brought our country closer together and recaptured the American spirit. <br />I chose to include two panels of the American flag. Its message is clear!<br />Red-stands for hardiness and valor<br />White-symbolizes purity and innocence<br />Blue-represents for vigilance, perseverance, and justice<br />This quilt is a tribute to all of the men and women who made it possible for life to move forward. My quilt shows new buildings and new life after ten years have passed. There are people pushing strollers down the street once again. From ashes of destruction America will rise to meet her enemies. WE WILL NEVER FORGET and we will reclaim ground zero! </b></span></div>

twilight and the heavens. A pure blue is the color of
inspiration, sincerity and spirituality. Blue is often the chosen color

</b><br />
<h2>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Orange</span> Energy</b></h2>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Orange is a power color. It is one of the healing colors. It is said to
increase the craving for food. It also stimulates enthusiasm and
creativity. Orange means vitality with endurance. People who like orange
are usually thoughtful and sincere. Lady luck's color is orange.</span></b><br />
<h2>
I took this photo of fresh flowers in Vegas at the Bellagio Hotel. </h2>

<div style="color: orange;">
<b>Orange is associated
with the benign warmth of the sun. A dynamic color to be sure, orange
offers thoughtful control. Curiosity is a
driving characteristic of orange, and with it comes exploration of new
things. I guess that is why artists like this color.</b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Put some orange in your life when you want:</i>
</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li class="td"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>to spice things up when you feel time is dragging</i>

<li class="td"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>to become more involved in something</i>

What is so much fun is to read all the entries in the wedding/celebration section. Check it out for yourself when you have time: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/fashion/weddings/index.html?adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1307369174-hlZYs2JMgcsmGsCRZU4Log"><span style="color: red;">http://www.nytimes.com/pages/fashion/weddings/index.html?adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1307369174-hlZYs2JMgcsmGsCRZU4Log</span></a></b><br />

<br />
<b>It is a much more liberal account of all the weddings than one you
would see here in Houston, Texas. I was also told that to make their
column you have to be VERY, VERY important and have LOTS and LOTS of
money! Although I am not a wedding photographer I do enjoy shooting them
when
we are invited. Here are just a few of my photos from my last wedding
we attended in January. My nephew Noah and Lauren were married in Austin.</b><br />

Finally one of them paid off. My photo was picked for the front page of <a href="http://www.photoblog.com/" style="color: lime;">http://www.photoblog.com/</a>. It was quite a surprise to be chosen, too! It was a photo of a flamingo that I took on a class photo shoot a few weeks ago. Normally I am really into street photography because it allows us to freeze one of those
moments and study all of the small dramas that were taking place. But this was taken at the zoo without any people in the shot.KZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00072110579138148241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303652705679813623.post-31162083957358777112011-03-30T09:17:00.000-05:002011-03-30T09:17:55.125-05:00ART FESTIVAL<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

March 25-27 in Memorial Park. The festival, which transforms the 1.1
mile trail of the park into a unique outdoor gallery, showcases the work
of more than 300 artists from across the country. Perry and I were two
of those people counted for being there last Saturday. Although I
didn't think the art was that exceptional it did motivate me to revise
my own mosaic work and apply to show there next year! Here are a few of
my photos that I took.</a></span></div>

Yesterday my photography class had a field trip to the Houston Zoo. I was taking pictures of people rather than the animals most of the time. The genre of street photography fascinates me so much that I am constantly looking for those candid shots to capture. I can't even remember how long it had been since I was at our zoo! This little boy looked at my camera just at the right time!</div>KZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00072110579138148241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303652705679813623.post-65573502824325393712011-03-26T08:30:00.003-05:002011-03-26T08:43:13.284-05:00STORY TELLERI have been thinking a lot about my photography and where I want to take it. Currently I am taking an intermediate photography class to try and understand my camera a little better. I am learning about Photoshop, the exposure triangle, and practicing taking pictures that I normally wouldn't shoot. But I feel more like a storyteller than a photographer. I love the genre of street photography because you get to capture moments in time. Instead of words, I am using images to tell my stories. In traditional portraiture, we most often focus on the face of our subject to narrate the shot. But I like to look at the whole picture and capture the story behind the photo.
Here are some images I have been taking. Hopefully you can tell where or what I was shooting.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3SKyhwjK9XGQ8-cUytsdRniIZk0NsxP6DVcWd8YR07d3FtzaOv05T35005oJOvAtyRZxkDA3GmNVrNGWMIQh7IFl9KvJCuU2Q1_CIJoVcfDfF8ZLZX4jRzRGHpRO6vTDT-uyqt4Ql3pbE/s1600/IMG_1522v2.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 313px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3SKyhwjK9XGQ8-cUytsdRniIZk0NsxP6DVcWd8YR07d3FtzaOv05T35005oJOvAtyRZxkDA3GmNVrNGWMIQh7IFl9KvJCuU2Q1_CIJoVcfDfF8ZLZX4jRzRGHpRO6vTDT-uyqt4Ql3pbE/s400/IMG_1522v2.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588380815276517426" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiPnJyJCWyUxMiORH4Lq943M7z-1RX1L_HLYs89-7-l0l9oNM0iiucf6N3TcvG1p66Shc6J_782p-7xASNAEsFibI_dBa9dkh2_AcYQFzmaXHe26HGzkE_-8ip0CIhEYy5zKc7kLOVXs61/s1600/IMG_2146.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiPnJyJCWyUxMiORH4Lq943M7z-1RX1L_HLYs89-7-l0l9oNM0iiucf6N3TcvG1p66Shc6J_782p-7xASNAEsFibI_dBa9dkh2_AcYQFzmaXHe26HGzkE_-8ip0CIhEYy5zKc7kLOVXs61/s400/IMG_2146.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588380801833418866" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV8n4thzLLzvWM_YL-8WdamCtB6qxx1KR1xaNS09gmaFimR9muaMM-vTMyaFH_JO0GpS5FU1UzLOVhwn_1rT5CaKdk6FUDScxlRZd-JdNO2Vzo04JCO41KBuKPtsIV6AXyqde7p9HwNVT-/s1600/IMG_1562.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 310px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV8n4thzLLzvWM_YL-8WdamCtB6qxx1KR1xaNS09gmaFimR9muaMM-vTMyaFH_JO0GpS5FU1UzLOVhwn_1rT5CaKdk6FUDScxlRZd-JdNO2Vzo04JCO41KBuKPtsIV6AXyqde7p9HwNVT-/s400/IMG_1562.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588383627026636530" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioxqXB1LqheCE0QvTv_cCyFCRfM1m0rm-7JYWKicJKrHd1Rz43xH1bQx1G-a7XO1bNX_pyP464uCqCXrhbX21GewNCg8LBEjdjJyOk6l4Sws2cmKVyO0YNlSUIIFDGH2kbUz2Lw6_jPJt1/s1600/IMG_1588.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 382px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioxqXB1LqheCE0QvTv_cCyFCRfM1m0rm-7JYWKicJKrHd1Rz43xH1bQx1G-a7XO1bNX_pyP464uCqCXrhbX21GewNCg8LBEjdjJyOk6l4Sws2cmKVyO0YNlSUIIFDGH2kbUz2Lw6_jPJt1/s400/IMG_1588.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588380810412548674" border="0" /></a>KZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00072110579138148241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303652705679813623.post-59121899691641964492011-02-21T11:03:00.005-06:002011-02-21T11:15:48.252-06:00MR. LOYD BROWNWe recently visited Montego Bay, Jamaica for a day. This is a photo of our tour guide-taxi driver named Mr. Loyd Brown. He was an interesting character that showed us around Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was an interesting day driving through the streets of the city (away from all the tourists) and shooting out the windows of the cab as we sped through the crowded town.

This is a genre that I absolutely love and really have a strong passion for! I find that candid shots taken when people are not posing tell such wonderful stories. I also like the black and white shots. Somehow they are easy on the eye and allow you to "paint" by number (so to speak) the colors on how you see it.

<div style="text-align: center;">Ok, I know I haven't posted in a while. No excuses, just life getting in the way! But this artist is someone I had to share with you. His name Stephen Wiltshire and he is such a talented artist!
He has been nicknamed <span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">"THE LIVING CAMERA"</span>. Why is that you ask? He has the unbelievable ability of painting and drawing detailed landscapes completely from his memory!
His work is brilliant as you can see in the following video.

<span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"></span><blockquote><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">This is a really interesting video about a silk painter and his performance art. It is something that can be admired by art quilters, painters, and performers. I normally don't "get" performance art that is weird or off the wall but this is different. I am now inspired to use my watercolors and work in my sketchbook today. I love the fluidity of the motion of the paint and how it flows over the silk and is absorbed by it.</span>
