What Do You Wish to Give?


It's Wishcasting Wednesday over at  Jamie Ridler Studios and today's prompt is "What do you wish to give?"  First, I wish to give my daughter more of my time and I wish to instill in her the knowing of how she can do and be anything she wants, of how absolutely amazing she is.

Second, I wish to give it my all. And by IT, I mean life, the great adventure, my dreams. I mean really, really give it my all, beyond excuses.

Third, I wish I could give all the sweet, sweet animals in homeless shelters and rescues a loving home. Especially the sweet pit bull pups who have an unjustified bad reputation. I wish I could them all a loving home, so that they would know the kindness of humans. I think dogs especially, need that connection.

Happy Accidents

While unloading the last pics from my old camera, I came across this little guy who is the perfect example of the type of shots I want to capture, experimenting with depth of field. That's how you can achieve the crisp clear foreground and fuzzy blurred background. The only problem is I don't know how I did it! But I do believe that if I did it once I can do it again. I can ask my photographer friends. And of course, I can always read the book! Love this shot.

Disbelief

I can't believe that I haven't posted in so long. In that time period, I have had an awesome art show, been diligently working on commissions, planning the festivities including Hanukkah, Christmas, block party, Pot Luck artist party, cookie day at school, 1 last field trip to the planetarium. I have gotten a new camera! Haven't had time to check it out yet. One thing I need to do......holiday cards! I'll post more soon, hopefully with a picture attached!
