Day: June 4, 2010

Lulu and Fanny are profoundly connected. They are inseparable. When Lulu wants to watch the world, or watch me, she likes to rest on Fanny’s back and take a breather.

Once a week, Maria goes into Glens Falls to take a class, and I go with her. While she’s in class, I walk around the streets trying to figure out how to best photograph this fascinating upstate city, very much on the rise, a great mix of old houses, bars, new restaurants and studios. I’ve figured out New York a little bit, but not Glens Falls, not yet. So I walk around for an hour or so and try this and that. This is the first shot I liked. Says a lot about one street.

June 4, 2010- A big day for fullmoonfiberart. Maria is introducing her new custom made E-Book Bags. The one above was custom designed to carry the Amazon Kindle, but she will be making them for the Ipad and Google e-book readers as well. In addition to the E-Book Readers, the bags have space for wallets and cellphones. I think this is a big step for Maria and her new business Full Moon Fiber Arts, as Amazon has sold hundreds of thousands of Kindles and Apple has already sold two million Ipads and expects to sell 10 this year.

I’m proud of my girlfriend, soon to be my wife. The E-Book bags available are pretty ugly. This one is pretty nice.

Poppies soak up the afternoon light. Just before the clouds came in. Am making lots of headway with fear lately. Coming to refocus my mind. To see that fear is usually more dangerous than the things we fear. Understanding the notion of positive energy,the importance of learning how not to whine or complain, to be confident in oneself. Living in fear is a slow death, and I absolutely choose life.

Bartleby’s mom Prudence drilled Rose yesterday when she came too close to the lamb. This morning, Rose came into the pasture and went straight to the two of them and stood nearby. They all seemed comfortable together
