My first blog project

The real reason I started a blog, to commune with my new family of photographers; we seem to have adopted each other and for me, restarted my creative life. I'm truly in work mode, sitting on the couch with 

Pearl. The Eagles and Bears on the tv. Pearl lets me know if there's a big play so I can watch the replay. Oh wait, she just went to check out what's in her bowl--must be a commercial. Now I can concentrate on my work here.

 At Arch Cape I gained a new appreciation for the art of the tattoo, as well as for the people that wear them, or have them or are one with them. I must admit that I have had my prejudices about tattoos, but some of the most impressive tattoos I have seen have been worn by some of the most impressive people I know. One of my work associates is probably the best nurse in our office, as well as the coolest, who has a tattoo she's had since her teen years. She seems to have grown with the symbolism she attached to it at an early age; it is part of who she is. I am happy to have created a few images that she finds interesting.

I seem to be drawn to the shapes and textures of nature, a fortunate complement to the art she has chosen.

The enchanted forest, behind Linda's house on the beach,  is the "layered" setting for 

Hermia's Dream

What a challenge this has been. Thank you Crackle for the idea and to all of this great family for the encouragement and camaraderie. I'm looking forward to next month's project and now the beautiful art that awaits at Christie's place
