But I will match or beat those prices with images of my own. Or do you think I should send the Photo-Eye Gallery some of my prints and see what they have to say?
Or would you rather me just hang myself now?
I'm on a buying spree. I just bought a 24mm lens for my Nikon digital camera for $42 on eBay. I'm buying all the cheap shit I can find. I used to shoot everything with a 24mm lens, so I thought I might begin again. Start cheap.
But I'm finding out that if you don't have a studio, you need light to make pictures. That was no problems with the strobes in the studio, but now, after work, after the gym, the sun is going, going, gone, so I am stuck putting on my pajamas and making dinner. How am I to work and make pictures, too, without a studio? A working man ain't got no bloody chance.
As I write, I hear a big animal crawling under my house. Or maybe its a rat going up the wall. I am not pleased and am in a killing mood. I have the Golden Malrin solution in mind, though. Yes, it is evil, but I know what to do.
Being practical, I have two tree guys coming tomorrow to give me prices. The maids come in between. It is time to get things done. I have had a recommendation on a pressure washing fellow, too. Then the painting. After that, the deck. I want the house back together and beautiful before spring. There is still a roof to (not) think about.
My camera will be here soon. My beater lens, too. I must think about new projects. I must think about my time.

Morning, and it is cold, the air crisp and clear. It is Friday and a lazy weekend (I hope) lies ahead. I did more damage on eBay last night late. Never drink and shop on eBay at the same time. There is no cure for that buyer's remorse.
Judging by the photo you posted, your work would be a good match for the gallery. Go for it! And stay away from rope...
ReplyDeleteBut what if they don't like it. . . . ?????
DeleteTurn that around...But what if they love it?!!
DeleteWhat odds are you giving? I'm not much of a gambler.

ReplyDeleteOh. Yes. We could split the cost and you hang it for 6 mos and I'll hang it for the other 6.
I saw it and thought immediately "that's a good Sunday for me and the Poet." :)
I've been far too busy for lazy Sundays in bed lately. I just did a deconstruction sale. It was sad. I did the original estate sale back in '14. A 1920's Italianate villa built on a small peninsula for the Cabot Stain Family. Gorgeously re-done by the previous owner. All Farrow and Ball paint colors -sky blue ceilings. Young new owners from San Fran - knocking it down to built at 9000K new thing to use for 2 mos a year.
So anyway at least parts of it are going to be saved and re-used. Someone bought the columns, the huge cast iron family crest, the patios made from old slate, brick and bluestone, windows, built in shell-carved cabinets, chandeliers. It's a new developing part of the business I'm trying to get going - salvage sales. Got a call while I was there for another coming down across the bay. Going to see it today.
But the old grand dame will soon be gone forever.
It snowed last night. Heavy wet snow. This morning the sky is that same Farrow & Ball Blue as the ceilings in that house - rubbed up against the white snow and dark drooping branches. It's gorgeous. I will soon go out and trudge with the dog who is willing to trudge with me.
Happy Saturday, CS.
And here I was thinking that YOU were PHAT and would buy it for me. Well, you can at least send photos of your "good Sunday."

DeleteI just put $3000 down on Tanzania 2016 :O I'm taking my son. And my cross-dressing friend is going too. So it's official. Three of us in a tent from the Serengeti to Ruaha - a more southern supposedly nearly empty park.
and have to get ready for Paris/Aix-en-Provence in less than 2.5 months. We'll have to split this one.
DeleteAnd don't be shy ... send them a few. who knows. If you ain't in it you can't win it.
That's why I haven't won any lotto money.
