Memory Project

This is one of the Memory Project paintings that we sent to the Dominican Republic several years ago.  Cassie Cummins is a very talented young lady (former student)  who is now serving in the armed forces.  This is a picture of the painting when it was in the art room, and a picture of the little orphan she painted with her new portrait.  For more information on the Memory Project, click here.

Below, another Memory portrait with its' owner by Meghan, a 2008 NHS grad.

Photoshop

Recent "Line" Photo's

One of the assignments for my online Digital Photography students was to take pictures that showed the element LINE. A couple of these also show framing, as the students were learning about.
This first one was taken in Dorset, England. When I took the photo (sprawled on the ground) I dropped my train ticket! Had to run back for it when the train came.


This one was taken in Wilmington, NC last weekend. I was thinking about the line assignment.


I took this in Wales a year and a half ago.


I took this in Asheville, NC from the Biltmore gardens. (Framing!)


This was taken a few years ago in Paris. I was standing inside Marie Antoinette's jail cell! I loved the light and the lines of the window and the shadow.

I love the sound of rain. It makes me feel more creative and alert. Or just really sleepy!
