We’re all busy getting ready for the holiday – shopping, cleaning, cooking. Taking photos hasn’t been at the top of the list, at least not getting them into Photojojo format. That’s taken a bit of a back seat to the other demands on our time.

Nancy and I are starting to put out feelers for a venue where we can have a Photojojo Challenge show. Stay tuned for more on that soon. Here are a slug of three, today.

Photojojo#63 is Friday fishwrap – the paper (Nancy) and tuna cans (Laura).

Photojojo#64 is the holiday colors by Nancy with some cookies for Marisa (Laura).

Photojojo#65 catches us up with sidewalk scribbles (Nancy) and dangerous morning mushrooms after the rain (Laura).

I have never seen 109 santas all at one time – have you? They were out in force at work today, caroling through the buildings and spreading holiday cheer. Nancy’s photo of the day’s news is a good fit.

We’re catching up. Nancy has a new little Lumix camera that I hope she used to take these three photos that allow us to publish Photojojos #59, 60 and 61.

Photojojo#59 is some beautiful tomatoes by Nancy, even though it is mid-December. These go with the kids walking to school in the tule fog by me.

Photojojo#60 is Riley at the vet (Nancy) and a mailbox at the post office (me). I dreaded going there to send a package because I might experience the package mailing crush, but I was the only one in the place at 6 pm on a Monday night. Yay!

Photojojo#61 catches us up. Nancy’s photo of the dog bone diagram goes with my Tow Away zone markings on the curb.

Now, back to holiday shopping on-line.

Today’s Photojojo is #58. It is a tree ornament from Nancy and some fall leaves on the sidewalk near the bus stop from me. We’ll get to #60 this week for sure.

Last night we had our artist’s reception and opening of the Diaphanous Symbols show at Aurobora Gallery & Studio. The event was well attended, despite horrific rain and competing holiday parties.

There was a moving lighting of the menorah, led by fellow artist Igael Gurin-Malous, and wonderful champagne and chocolates. The place was just buzzing with good energy and I think a good time was had by all.

Here are the three of us, Lillie Barrows, me (middle) and Iggy, toasting to the opening right before guests arrived.


The show will be up for two weeks, so if you missed the artist reception and still want to see some of the student work or the main gallery with some amazing monotypes represented, please swing by Aurobora Gallery at 370 Brannan Street, SF anytime M-Sat 10 am to 5 pm.
