as we blog about the environment... see link at right.
brought 4 prints to last night's critique.
there are very strict guidelines in place for such
a competition. that said, one fo my 4
was worth entering. and to anyone that may know her,
tell lauren n. that the image that's been on my
screen for the passed couple of months an also
entered in my PUG competition (that tied for 2nd)
is the image that i will submit for a merit print!
david jones suggests that i tweak the catch lights
in her eyes and crop the light color out at top left.
we'll see. they make it very clear that this is not
a personal attack on anyone, just going on the content
of the image submitted. i'll keep you posted on others
that i consider for submission.
tonight i get the distinct honor of meeting liz banfield
at my PUG gathering tonight. liz is going to get us
familiar with the idea of getting published.
pretty cool. i'm really excited to meet her. i love
her style of photography, it's really soft and real.
the birds are crazy...yesterday, one ran into the window
of my studio! i went to rescue her...
now there's one in my furnace! it's been flapping
for 2 days! it's just that today i finally discovered
what it was. i thought one of the cats were in the
furnace room screwing around. when i figured out that
it was a bird i went in and talked to it...yes, i
speak finch! ;) i'm just sick about the fact that
she may die in there! :( i called our furnace guy
and gary would lock me up me if i spent $150 getting
her out! she just chirps ans chirps and flaps and flaps.
******
okay, so let me tell you what JUST happened...
so i'm sitting here with the door to the
furnace room open and she just comes blazing out!
bouncing off walls, windows and ceiling.
i jump up and try to open a screen (after shutting
all the doors down here so she doesn't go to
another floor) and before i know it, she's upstairs!
now she's up in a skylight! crap! now what?
i close all the doors, open the front door a front
screen and she chooses to go out on the porch so
i follow her, my heart is racing as fast as her's
and of that i am certain! i have a client in 15 minutes
and "bird wrangling" was not on my schedule today!
i had put on gloves and grabbed a pillow case so i
pretty much looked like i was going out on a "snype"
hunt with frasier crane on an old episode of cheers!
didn't need either, i opened the doors to the deck
and she flew right out. i'll miss her.
oh, and where were the cats you ask? laying on the
bed in our room....absolutely no interest.
um, yea, shocker!
what is with birds anyway, i mean what makes one
say to itself, "hey, i wonder what's down this
long, dark tube?"
hey, my kleenex boxes arrived yesterday and they
are so great looking! go to kleenex tissue
and have some fun...they're only like 5 bucks!
my friend sheena is coming over today and bringing
her niece, eva. i can't wait to meet her and
photograph her!
happy birthday to laurie! we're going to meet up
at hazeltine nat'l for happy hour to celebrate!
anne & pete, scott & nicki, mike & kiki, you should
come along! :)
