Wow, that picture is fantastic! I would kill for any of those scarves. They look so delicious! Sounds like the PP is going well. Good to hear your voice today - even if it is in a podcast. :)

checking in today. it's been a while. thank you for the idea of connecting with someone to share my work with. i'll be carefully thinking of a creative someone who i can ask. i definitely feel a lack of creative community here, but realize it's up to me to put it out there. maybe i'll put it out to all of you as well. click on 'night' in the index of my site to see what i've shot so far. there are six images that i feel convey a certain mood, and have a similar color theme - the softer images i'm drawn to. it's helpful to look at the work on screen, but i know i will need to print it out soon and place images next to each other. by the way jen, i've been carrying 'don't write' and 'bird by bird' in my bag everyday along with my camera. been trying to use them as companions. and they come out at night to be with me at my bedside :)
