Still Alive

Hi all,

Just a quick note to say that I am alive! It has been super busy for me. I have 18 pending assignments and 16 are shoots. Will put more on my blog later, I have just a minute and wanted to post my self portrait. This self portrait I did a tribute to an artist's painting. A fellow student painted my face and I did the rest in Photoshop. Tell me your thoughts!

(Updated the pic with the original image so that you can see what is real and what is Photoshop!)

Snow

Hi All,

It is officially winter here! Yes it has snowed several time and melted, too. But yesterday, it snowed 8 or so inches and it is supposed to snow today and tomorrow, dumping a total of 14 inches. Wow!

Been super busy here. Sorry for no blogs keeping everyone up on everything.

Here are a few pics of the kitties and the snow storm:

Hi All,

Here are a few the images that I turned in for my assignments.

Fall In Mass

Hey Everyone,

Haven't written for awhile. I sometimes think I am writing to myself. I guess that is not a bad thing in some respects. Thank you to the few of you who get that a blog is interactive and a way for me to keep in contact with my family and friends. I feel like sometimes I am on an Island playing a game like Survivor and that any contact with the outside world is a BIG deal. LOL

Anyway, back to Fall in New England:

I had an opportunity to go to New York City on the train with a few Friends. It was a blast.















This is Becky, Monika and Sionnie. We had lots of time on our hands on the train. It was great to be with other Photographers who get me as a photographer. LOL

We walked all around NY: Battery Park, Ground Zero and China Town. While at Ground Zero we went to the Church that sits right in front of it. I was there before and took a picture of a grave stone that appeared to have a ghost image on it. So of course I went back to see if she was still there. Well, I'll let you judge for yourself!


















Do you see her? The picture I took a year ago and this one from this past weekend are the same. She must live in the grave stone. ???????????

We had Monday off for Columbus day and I drove around town taking pictures of the fall leaves. It is beautiful. I took more of the country side, but I don't like what they look like, so you get to see my close-ups. I do love me some macro shoots. LOL












































Hope you all have a Great Weekend!

Love Gidget

P.S. Some school work (images) should follow soon!

I have heat!

Yeah, the landlord got the heat fixed and it's hot in here!!!

School is getting crazy. We have 3 assignments due on Wednesday and got 3 additional assignments on Monday! Busy, busy, busy.

I am learning lots. We started Commercial Studio today. We shot with a large format camera, too. The 4x5 is really cool. It is a lot to take in but I am looking forward to working with it for sure. We are using film, but will be switching to digital soon.

As soon as the instructors show us how to scan with their equipment, we can scan all our film. Then I can put up some images, so you all can see what I am up to.

Maybe if I have some photos, more peeps will read my blog and/or leave comments. What ya think. Would you come back more or even comment if I had more pictures.

Well it is time for bed! Hope all is well with everyone!

Love ya all.
