The Photography Muse

July's Photography Assignment is titled, "A Single Line". Photos should portray a single line. That could be a line of corn, a line around the corner for the restroom, etc.... Get creative.

Photos can be uploaded to thephotographymuse group on facebook.
The winner will be chosen by the group members and then posted here.

The 2008 Indiana State Fair Competition for Photography is almost here.  This year I hope to enter 3 photos in the contest.  I had such difficult time finding information on the event.

Life's been a whirlwind lately.  I feel a little like Sally Field, "You like me! You really like me!*"  I've finally been selected to work in a position that encourages my creative mind instead of stifling it.  Of course it will be a challenging and rewarding endeavor to work at a renown Microsoft Partner as a SharePoint Design Consultant.   

 I am only able to write a short blurb while I'm making dinner, but I thought it was very amusing that my purse decided that I needed a softbox kit. You see, I was all sick and congested and miserable while traveling to my aunts for Thanksgiving. To whittle away the time on the road, I used my PDA phone to look up the cost of softboxes on Amazon. I was interested in learning more about this one.   I tried to send it to my wishlist. With one clumsy click, I sent it to my shopping cart. No big deal, right?

I am struggling right now with my photography, but not as you might think. I've recently collected some of my recent thoughts that were hazy and foggy due to the sickness.

I have an art background. In fact, I almost attended a prestigious art school when starting out my adult life, many moons ago. I was offered a partial scholarship to Otis Parsons School of Art. Alas, I chose a more sensible degree (BS in Nursing) but continued to paint as a hobby. I've sold several pieces for impressive amounts but essentially, I sold out.

Being sick makes taking photos of yourself something of a chore. I've developed the beginning of a nasty cold. I am getting the chills and my joints ache.  My throat is tickly and my ears feel clogged. The weirdest part is the fuzzy eye feeling.  My eyes feel warm and fuzzy.
