Diversity.

A quiet evening in the hotel room and I just finished this picture for my homework.         “We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.” Diversity in teaching means that I…

what a day.

It began well, the sun was shining. Keith and I went to Big Boy to dine on poached eggs on rye and then back to the hotel to begin at 9.00. We were well into the swing of things when the wind began to whip up. You couldn't walk out the door without being blown …

http://blip.tv/play/AYHIsF8C   In class yesterday my students told me of a wonderful barn trail in the Michigan.  So I did a little investigating and this is what I found…Next year I will try to find them and film then for you. Surrounded almost entirely by the deep blue water of Grand Traverse Bay, the long…

travelling and drawing.

We traveled all day yesterday. LA, Chicago, Traverse city and finally Grayling. We arrived in the dark, rain and fog. We had to change the body clock once again… 3 hours this time, it takes a little getting used to. I got a lot of work done on the plane, I finished the film, and …

Catching up.

  Capturing the Day, San Diego Zoo. Sorry folks the video took too long to complete so take a look at the album    You will find a lot of textures amongst the photos. Lots of creative inspiration. Today, we  did the tourist thing… a tour of LA. I found it quite interesting, but then again…

capturing the day – San Diego Zoo

So…… I'm tired. Jet lag is taking hold I think. Keith and I had a day at San Diego Zoo today. It was just amazing and I have begun a "Capturing the day" Video… but it takes time and it's already midnight. Needless to say I'm passionate about "Texture" and a zoo is the most…

Designs everywhere….!!! in stores, in shopping centres and even in the lift.

I think we've fixed the internet problem… We shifted rooms and finally I can set up my "on the road studio"   Out shopping today I had the job of photographing leaves… it was in rather an exclusive shopping centre, and there I was with the camera a few inches from the pot plants…. I…

Slow down.

It's a bit of a nuisance, the internet is soooo slow at this hotel. It takes about 15 minutes for a photo to load. I've time to slow down a little now. A trip to the beach and a little shopping will do the trick today.  

We arrived.

I look at my watch and we have now been in LA for 12 hours. It's now time to go to bed and yet it is only 1.58 in the afternoon at home.!!!! There is a huge scamble to get everything done prior to leaving. Lots of business, lots of family TLC and great anticipation…..
