Sweet Home Chicago
So after 16 or 17 years, I am going to go back to visit Chicago. It doesn’t seem like that big of a deal, but for me it feels a little like a home coming.
Responding to Situations with Social Media
I have two things lately that I am publically passionate about: social media and photography (I am equally passionate about politics but I keep it off the radar most of the time). Normally I reserve this space to express photography, my thought is that between my work with Tweetup, Southern Socials, and RefreshCA anyone who cares about my take on social media has heard it several times. Today however I wanted to take a brief moment to highlight something great in social media that probably went unnoticed yesterday.
Chances to Get Cool Prints and Help even Better Causes
Couple of Art related things coming up, a chance to get some great artwork and help support local causes.
Jan 21 Starting Early - Arkansas Repertory Theatre This will be a party at the Governor’s Mansion and included will be a silent auction. I have donated a nice 16x24 version of the print above. The print is done on metallic paper on a nice gallery style display. Cost of admission is $50. All proceeds from the admission and silent auction go to benefit the Rep and all the great work they do
Feb 14 St Margaret’s Episcopal Art Show This one will be an art show featuring local artist at St Margaret’s in Chenal. There will also be a dinner and other activities during the event. I will be selling this collection of prints. 25% of sales go back to support St. Margaret’s and their ministries.
In addition to these two art sale opportunities I will donate 50% of the proceeds from any print sold this month to Haiti relief efforts. If you are interested in purchasing a print visit my Flickr Photostream and contact me about pricing.
Seems like there is always a point in doing anything that you have to ask yourself “How much do I really want to do this? How dedicated do I want to be?”.
I made a decision to get serious about photography starting in 2010. I already had to ask myself that question this morning when I couldn’t feel my fingers this morning in the 13 degree weather.
Still the end result is worth it, the shot was more than excellent when processing I found a flock of birds had flow into the view, check out the larger version when you click on the photo. Dedication pays off sometimes.
