The Gig is Over

River of Love, 8"x10" Mix Media on canvas



Dear friends,

The photography gig will soon be over. I learned so much, not only some technical things about lighting, camera settings, and computer software, but I learned much about myself and people.

I was surprised by how much people could dislike themselves, be frighten of a camera, and how even little children don't always smile.  I learned to change my messages in hopes of making a difference in little kids by instead of asking them to say "cheese" to "I'm awesome", "I'm beautiful", "I'm handsome" and the like.

I only wish the job didn't required a set amount of time per person, so I could had better connect with each person who sat before me, to be photographed.

Now that this gig is almost over, I'll focus more on art. I have already began a series of small abstracts and I'm having so much fun creating them. See an example above.

November 30, 2013 I'll be at the Escondido Municipal Art Gallery at the publication party of Summation V. My painting "Lady in Red" is published in it and looking forward to the poet's reading their poems inspired by art. I hope to see some of you there.

Love,
Glad
