just want to stick out your tongue?
so miss photobooth queen the booth in my hood is alive and kicking... and i'm teaching across the street from it all summer.... wonder what i'll be doing??
sorry it's so grainy, but no time to bust out the scanner. i do love how the whole set of these is red tinged... obviously partially due to the background and the PINK coat [it makes another appearance!] but somehow it felt like a red filter was applied....
what's the tongue sticking out all about? it's almost my immediate reaction to someone pointing a camera at me. i've made some friends by sticking my tongue out at them [it's true!]. it's a dumb ice breaker. it makes me feel silly. it can be defiant, coy, ridiculous! the multi-purpose and underused facial expression if you ask me....
believe it or not "divine intervention" came up twice this week. and i don't mean in a hand of god kind of way. it's making me think that someone or something is trying to tell me something. ok. i'm listening. lay it on me.... there's a lot of shift and change in the air, doncha think? lots of blog and computer overload. chatter of balance, community, sharing, missing, loving, weight, committment. my head is swimming, my fingers curled from typing, my heart searching.
mav wants to discuss this bloggy thing/madness/love.... let's all put our thinking caps on and join in next week, huh? happy weekend! i'm nervous... have a studio visit on sunday. gulp.

And, yeah for blogging. I've only just begun and feel more connected already.
I love the photobooth pic. I am definitely not a toungue-sticker-outer . As a child (and sometimes still) I was the "accidental frowner"-and got the name "crabby-abby" from a horrible set of photos shot at Olan-Mills. The blog-thing seems out of control right now (just the sheer volume of them), so hard to keep up I am almost tempted to note keep up at all. To me, you seem like the "blog mama"-the one who somewhat mediates and connects many of us-does this sound weird? I just mean that I see you in little bits all over the place, leaving kind words and encouragment behind. It is a very good thing. Blogging has a weird way of making me feel a very disconnected connection, hmmm...I need to think more before I ramble type-Anyway-enjoy your weekend, talk soon-abby
I love this photo and that you stick your tongue out all the time. I think it a fabulous ice breaker and totally should be used more often.
change and shift coming from change of season - school almost out that sort of thing, maybe it stirs up the rest.
i'm open to discussing a way to manage all this whole online world - there's got to be a way
I've thought a lot about that blogging thing (again!) after reading Mavs post...I even wrote the perfect post about it in my mind while brushing my teeth but it's gone now...damn... HAVE to find a way to connect my brain directly to the keyboard...
I hope the studio visit went splendid and you didn't stick out your tongue! ;)
(so sorry about your computer! uuuggghhhh)
