My friend and college classmate, Carmella Messina, has just started a a blog called Persona.
She said she came up with the name because of the many hats she wears. Believe me, I can relate. These days, I find I am a house keeper, nurse, wife, photographer, artist and equestrian; not necessarily in that order.
For the past two weeks, in addition to my nursing duties, I have been shooting fruits and vegetables to upload to iStockPhoto. When I get going on a project, I tend to get obsessed, that I will admit.
I think I've spent over $250. on produce so far. Thank goodness for my walk-in, screened-in porch fridge
This is one of the images that has already been accepted and added to my iStockPhoto Online Portfolio. I just had a piece of one and it was delicious!
These days, my studio looks more like a farm market and smells like citrus and garlic.
The deer and horses here aren't complaining either. Nothing is going to waste. As I shoot and discard, I think the critters here at The Sandarosa are truly enjoying the abundant treats and vast variety of fruits and vegetables in their daily diet. . . They just don't realize how spoiled they really are.
Thanks for the blog mention Sandy.
ReplyDeleteI think our ability to wear many hats is what keeps life interesting. Being an artist is not a career you ever really retire from. You just move into other aspects of creativity. Your photography is lovely and you're obsessive because you care and it shows.
Sandy, I am flabbergasted and gob-smacked!! That is quite a photo set-up you have for your fruit and veggie ingenues. And I am so happy to hear the animals are reaping some of the benefits!
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos! I bet those animals are enjoying the fruit in the winter:)
