Hi Everyone,
Well, it is a new month, August 2010 and it is with mixed emotions that I see the RCC photography class that I began with, complete their first year. I am so very happy for my fellow classmates and friends because I know what they had to go through to get there. Summer session is akin to hell week that the Navy Seals go through to weed people out. Ok, not that bad but pretty darn close. It is quite an accomplishment that they have gone through.
The mixed emotion part of it is that I am no longer with them, having withdrawn, with only three weeks left. Suddenly homeless and now living in a shelter, I, at the time, knew that it was going to be nearly impossible to deal with basic needs of living and at the same time, the creative and academic deadlines that were pending. Maslow knew what he was talking about when he said that you can't be fulfilled unless you have those basic needs taken care of.
Lest anyone really think I have given up on my photography...reconsider. I still have my syllabi and plan on doing the work that I would have done had I still been there. So, in essence, it will be one huge independent study without the tuition bills. Speaking of bills, I am selling my photo art both on my website and by special consultation. So if you are looking for gifts, artwork, or anything that has to do with photos, go to www.daylilydreamsphoto.com and check out the photos there. There are several categories to choose from and I can do individual selections and custom creations. You can buy directly on the website or email me and let me give you quotes for a personalized order.
I have explored the area in High Point, NC and found the High Point City Lake Park which is actually in Jamestown, NC. If you drive around and away from the docks and fishing areas, there are actually some peaceful places. I will post two such views that you can see on the website.
I had the opportunity to go out to High Point's City Lake Park. I enjoyed taking pictures of nature and wildlife. There was this tiny 2 inch turtle sunning himself on the park. Thank goodness for telephoto lenses. There was a rotting tree stump on the bank. At the base sat this multilevel fungus. It had some beetles living in and under it so I guess it is a bug condo. Take a look at the pictures. You can see the larger versions at my website, www.daylilydreamsphoto.com.
