So am going to focus on writing the blog more (well I will actually write something) A lot of things have happened that have giving me a lot to think about. I am thinking of teaching so I am looking in to it. I am thinking of doing photography for other artists. I think I am not as threatening to some people as I have no desire to do more than that. I would never do more than that I want to make things not do photography. Rachel Nelson-Smith made a big impact on me when she came to the store in February. I realized that I can be someone that has my work in books, magazines and others would like to learn from me. The other thing that happened to me was I went to a lecture at the Galdstone put on by the Metal Arts Guild of Canada with Emmanuel Lopez – Motivatorman that got me to realize that I can be an artist even tough I am not “deep, significant, meaningful and or serious” What I learned that I shouldn’t care what box I fit in I should just make my own box and even if I never fit in with the “big time” fine art craft people than it doesn’t matter. What and who I am is fine. My goofy silly self is fine and what I create though it is not earth shattering it’s my passion and it can stand next to anyone. I don’t need to apologize for being me and creating what I want to. What I would like to do is get others like me to believe that that can be themselves and create something that is good just because they think it good and that is what matters.
