HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013!!

The start of a new year - aahh!  Just like starting over!  I like it!!  I'm also wishing all who read this blog a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year.  We make it whatever we want, since we're the ones in control of our own lives.  Remember that!

Today I've already begun printing out some images for the new year.  Time to bring in new pieces for the High Hand Gallery's new re-hang next week.  I've printed out one of the mimes from Barcelona, Spain - this one is in color.  I have a second digital B&W image from Yosemite that I am also submitting.  Today I'll cut mats, and I just happen to have new frames in stock for these two.  Sometime today I am going to mosey down to Aaron Bros., as they are having their buy one get one for 1 cent sale.  I need to stock up for a couple more.  Not too many, as I like metal frames and I get those from Delta Mat & Moulding.  However, I just remembered, we did receive a gift certificate from Dick Blick and they have frames too!  I love it when I have more than one choice!

This image of Mime #3 was taken on Las Ramblas (the main tourist drag) in Barcelona, Spain.  These people really put themselves out there!  The costumes are so elaborate, and if you can imagine 100 degree weather sitting all day long in the hot sun with heavy costumes and silver/gold makeup.  They make a lot of money at it too.  To them, 'this ain't no game!"


Later I plan on mixing up some chemicals, so I will have them ready in the morning to start DEVELOPING AGAIN!!  It's been way too long.  Plans for this year??  I'm thinking no shows - that wore me out last year. What I need to concentrate on is marketing - how and/or where to place my images aside from the galleries. I started looking into Etsy and then there's even Ebay.  There are other new venues like that on the Internet, I just need to investigate that more - and then make a move.  

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
