Well, I guess it was a matter of time. I've just been informed that my infrared photo, 'Woodland Path 3'  [link]  was being claimed by some creep on Flickr. They were reported but their account is still there. I checked his photostream and my photo isn't there anymore. I hope that's not the fix for this as it's likely other photos in his gallery are stolen as well. Flickr really needs to shut this account down.  If anyone is interested in checking to see if their art is in his collection, here is a link to his photostream:

I submitted a photo  [link] to a juried exhibit and it got in! It is currently showing at the Darkroom Gallery [link]     The theme of the exhibit is Red. This is the first time I've ever done anything like this and am pretty thrilled my photo was accepted.

Wow, there's an interview and feature of my work in Caprice Magazine!      [link]

I was contacted by Rick DeVries   [link]                    
for an interview a while ago and now here it is! This is so awesome! What an honor! Caprice is a wonderful online magazine that's a feast for the eyes - check it out!

**(would just like to clarify that, although stated otherwise in the magazine piece, I'm over 21 and I live in Vermont)

I received a daily deviation today on my photo, Premonition    [link]
It was suggested by Canan   [link]
and featured by DpressedSoul   [link]
I've received many well wishes & faves today because of this - feeling the love for sure. Thank you to everyone for all of your kindness and support. I will try to thank as many people as  I can but if I don't get to you please know that I am very greatful. This was such a lovely surprise.

Hi everyone! In addition to jewelry, I've been including photos in my gallery.  It's funny how one thing leads to another. I used to be into photography awhile ago until my camera took a good hit, on the side of a mountain, & stopped working.  Many of the jewelry photos in the gallery were taken with a point & shoot film camera.  My friend suggested that I get professional photos of my work.  She pays $200 (American) for each piece - way out of my price range.  Also, Michael of CosmicFolklore suggested that I use a macro lens for jewelry photos, because it was hard to see the details of my pieces.  Well that was it! I got my old camera fixed & bought a used macro lens for a reasonable price.  In addition to being happier with the jewelry photos, I rediscovered how much fun photography is.  I use an OM1N manual 35mm camera with a Tokina 28-85mm 1:4 zoom lens & Olympus 50mm 1:3.5 macro lens.  I wouldn't mind having a digital camera, but that will be for sometime in the future.  What I have is paid for & works well enough.
