Many many hugs, Roze--and thanks for the long and wonderful letter about yourself. We obviously are kindred spirits and love the same kinds of images and experiences.

I appreciate all your support so much--it really means a lot!

When I get out in photographer mode, my eye definitely searches for those things you love: the traces of history in the worn, weathered, faded... I love to imagine the generations of people who might have been there. Oh! you should read an earlier journal I wrote about this: [link]

Many thanks for relishing these images--yes, they are very special to me, too. Colors, texture, lighting, the feel of the past imbedded in the present....

Until later!

Pam,
you are SO kind!
Thank you very much for YOUR comments!
I am truly honored!


And YES I do LOVE my collection of faves!

It is so easy to appreciate the quality work of others.

We are SO blessed with many geniuses,
of diverse talents, here at DA.

And as you can see,
by my collections, I do have varied interests,
myself.

Your gallery,
for example,
(I have so many favorites...I could just about "collect" them all!
I had to stop myself! )

I favor monochrome, and sepia!

I also have a deep reverence for vintage photographs.
So much history there!

Which is also why I LOVE antiques and photographs of worn out objects,
the more worn the appearance,
the better!

It is evident that you have been collecting,
and photographing for quite some time.
Have you considered publishing a photograph anthology of your work?

At least, it is definitely worthy of it's own REAL gallery!

I hope you have had exhibits!!!

As
for me,
I am a writer, poet and lyricist.
I have also been known to carry a tune.

Also I work with ink,
pastels ,
watercolors.
and crafting of several media, my specialty, silk
floral arrangements.

I have dabbled in photography, but for lack of better equipment, I am limited there!

For the rest,
I'll send you a message.

ThanX so much again!

Roze

Roze, I appreciate you so much! Also, so glad you liked my soaps and stuff--I'd love to make some for you. I do lots of custom work, so just tell me what you like.

I spent a lot of time looking at your collection--it's truly amazing. You have a wonderful taste in faves (and I adopted many of them into my fave gallery as well). are you a photographer or artist too, or just an appreciator of lovely and moving images?
