Missing my photojojo partner, so I will do my usual solitary jojo – a photo with a doodle. This photo was taken Saturday at the Maverick’s area of Pillar Point. I paired it with a doodle I made several years ago.

Here’s a link to the best 223 photos I took while in Italy. I’m looking for opportunities to show these, or sell them matted and framed. Please pass along this info to anyone you know who might be interested.

Thanks!

I just got back from a two week “ski trip” in the Italian Alps with a side trip to the Italian Riviera (Rapallo, Sta. Marguerite, Portofino).

Because I can’t really ski much due to a prior torn meniscus, my goal on this trip was to take photos. I ended up taking 1,600 photos. Of those 1,600, I really really liked 12-15 and another 200 or so were great once I did some adjustments to them.

You can see the best of the best on the 4×365 blog as they post daily. For the rest, I’m considering a show or two, some home shows, and already have some people asking for prints as commissions.

I am sure I’ll be using some in my print work as well, and wouldn’t life be wonderful if I could travel and take photos that paid for the trips? I can always hope.

Italy was so wonderful, especially the contrast between the snow-ful Italian alps and the romantic and lazy Riviera. I want to return there again someday.

Slowly but surely this new art project is taking shape and moving forward. I thought I would have more down-time here in Italy to work on new clothes for the doll. Today, I did have time to sketch a template for clothes and yesterday, while up on the top of the mountain above Rapallo Italy, I found time to meditate and saw some images in my mind of the layout for these pieces.

They are coming slowly, but I am savoring the process of the creating. It is a new thing for me to give myself the time to consider and be in deeper connection with what the piece needs to be.
