blog it forward: my inspiration
March 11th, 2010Uncategorized
Victoria from sfgirlbybay came up with a wonderful idea to link bloggers together through their inspirations. Each of us were assigned a day to write about what motivates us and link to another blogger who will post their inspirations next. Today is my day, so here goes:
my inspiration
Oh gosh, there are so many things that energize me. I guess over the past year or so I’ve become really inspired by the natural world and the cycles it goes through.
- Winter used to be a tough season for me but now I find it really reflective to capture dormant trees in snowy fields. It reminds me to take time for myself and relax in preparation for the coming summer.
- I love the shoreline, I find it really soothing and calming staring out to sea, it definitely adds peace to my life.
- I get really excited by people who think outside of the box and take overwhelming tasks and create something that’s more accessible. {think: You Grow Girl, ReadyMade, No Impact Man, Jamie Oliver}

london’s handmade festival
Hi Everyone!
Have you heard about London’s Handmade Festival? It’s a series of workshops and events held mainly at the Central Branch of the London Public Library. Darren and I will have a table at the Art Show and Sale on Saturday, May 8th, 2010 and we want your help! We plan to take prints of 8-12 of our photographs and have them available for purchase and viewing in person. What we want to know is:
- which images would you like to see up close and personal?
- what size do you think is most appropriate for a show of this nature? we’re planning on focusing on 8×10′s {$35} but may take some 5×7′s {$18} as well.
- would you be interested in seeing notecards {$4.50}?
- what would you like us to give away as a freebie; art magnets? bookmarks? postcards? have another suggestion?
- we’re thinking about having a giveaway that you can enter at the festival, what would you like to win? a matted 8×10 print of your choice?
Plan on coming by the art sale? Thinking about purchasing one of our images but you’d like to see it live-and-in-person first? Let us know! That way we’ll be sure to bring that special piece with us, you can reserve it with no obligations. We can even schedule an appointment for you meet us at the show.
Check out the Upcoming Events section in the sidebar to see where we’ll be so we can meet in person.
inspiration: ommwriter
March 2nd, 2010Uncategorized
I love the intro video for ommwriter. It whisks me a way to a magical land full of quiet creativity where I can just think and be with my ideas, without distraction. The subtleness of the music is perfect too, any idea who created it? I’ll have to look into that, I need more of it in my life.
I need a whole room like ommwriter, not just a writing interface. In fact, it might be the inspiration for my new office decor.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
