I travel the world teaching and talking.
Photographing and writing,
Sharing experiences
What a way to go.
Talk about Frustrating.
I use Apple computers.I have two large screen computers in the studio, it was just a bit of a fluke really, the screen on the one on the right was showing signs of wear and I was advised to buy a new computer considering the cost of repairing it. But 3 years later its going…

Right now I’m refining a little. This blog is in a new format and I will no longer be using Typepad. I’ve been working on the editing of a film of India. I really can’t beleive that I was actually there and that I took all those photos.  Memories.
Pigeon, Pigeon
“Persistence lies at a point beyond everything we have already tried, and all we have already done.”I’ve been working on this quilt without too much enthusiasm. But I have to finish it.Creating and designing are two different things in my mind. I don’t like this piece but I’m creating and I’m not sure how it will…
