Kickstarter

A kick start is what it seems I needed to find myself again. Sadly it took it's form as a pain in my lower left abdomen.

I have found myself creatively. Now I need the funding to get my work out there. I need pieces to bring to galleries, the local museums and craft/art shows.
 
So today, as I sat listening to the wind howl and the rain lash the windows. I went to kickstarter

My Nikon Coolpix L110 isnt "top of the line"   I don't want to upgrade. I want to show what someone can really DO with this camera and no Photoshop. And with no education in the field of photography. Raw. Fresh. Unadulterated. No manipulation.

I am not trying to be the next Ansel Adams, whose work I find spiritual. Although that would be great. I want people to see my photos and smile.

With luck Kickstarter will accept my "project"  And I will meet my goal of $800.00 to get me out there.

I will update when I hear from them.

In the mean time. Here is one of my more recent photos.

  It is for sale in my store at Festive Chicken Photography and Art

Thanks for stopping by.

Cravings

We all get them. Usually they hit us when there is no way that a  Philly Cheese Steak Sub is going to appear. Or in the middle of the night. You wake up and NEED a pint of Chunkey Monkey ice cream. Or even better still. When you are prepping for a colonoscopy and cant eat anything solid until sometime the next day. I am speaking from direct experience here. I want a Papa Ginos cheese pizza. Now.
But alas. I must wait until sometime tomorrow. And then just keep my fingers crossed that actually eating a few slices doesnt totally kill me.

On the subject of cravings Tookies chocolate-chip-buttercreme-cookie-wiches  look SO GOOD. I am promising myself to buy some before a doctor tells me I can no longer have sugar, chocolate etc.

And then there is another new finding of mine on Etsy RainingChocolate
I LOVE CHOCOLATE!

When the weather cools and the humidity drops I make fudge. I used to have an Etsy store My Moms Fudge a few years ago. But it got too much for me. I went back to work full time and just couldnt keep up. So now I make it for friends and family. And maybe an occasional event.

I feel like I am playing a game

of 20 questions with my health.
Luckily i have my family. My husband, my mother. My daughter.

Today was actually cold. I only have the window next to the computer opened a tiny bit because the little breeze we are getting was pretty chilly. Knowing that my horse is smart enough to stay in his stall out of the rain and breeze is a comforting thing. Although I do wish I had brought my camera out with my today. There is a crab apple tree on the barn owners long gravel drive that I never noticed before. And I have been boarding Rhett there for over three years now.
I have noticed that since I decided to be involved in my life again. I am noticing things and seeing things differently. I guess that makes sense. Kind of like having blinders taken off.. the world seems bigger, brighter.
I am going to try and capture more of my world and enjoy the view.
