Well I have sold my first painting, and I feel pretty damn good about it! It was a painting I did for a contest and wasn't even in the contest (even though I did recieve an email stating I was accepted).

I submitted it on here and didn't even get any views - I don't think - so I scarpped it heh.

It sold for $125.

Well... where do I begin? I haven't updated my journal in a while. My life is a little chaotic right now, but it's Christmas so I guess this is true for most people. I like Christmas. . . but I think I will be glad when it is over.

My cat is trying to eat my subway sandwich. She doesn't listen to me when I say go away. My cats are such little pigs.

Anyhow... I am in a situation right now where I need to find a new place to live sometime in January or so. There are three states that lay in my options: Tennessee, Arizona, or where I am right now, California. What sucks is that I just got my darkroom finally back together in one state and so I only have a few days of using it until I have to pack it back up. I have a lot of film I keep meaning to process as well. I'm desparately in need of some new photographs to work with. I'm considering working on some photograms tonight.

I wish I wasn't sp afraid of the dark. I get a little creeped out when I am in the dark room and home alone. I am a d o r k .

I just wanted to show off some of my recent favorites.

Well I'm starting up my darkroom now. Hoping to get it up and running soon, there are a lot of prints I'd like to do. There was a contest I wanted to enter but I don't think I will have enough time now. I'm going back home for a week the first week of December. I hope I get a lot of lovely pictures there. It
seems to be full of them. I haven't taken anything here in CA that comes
even close to comparing.

I've decided to add my signature on my photographs, so I'll be deleteing and resubmitting the photos I decide not to scrap. I don't think it will alert everyone of new pictures, I'm pretty sure there is an edit photo button. But just incase it does.. I'm sorry for all the alerts.

I just think it's probably better to be safe rather then sorry with all these art thieves lerking.

I am posting here to inform you of a shop owner who I
am currently dealing with right now, and she's a total
nightmare.

Her name is Laura Silva and she runs a Gothic Faery Store where she purchases prints from artist's and resells them for her own advantage.
[link]
[link]
[link]

An artist sold wholesale to her about a year ago. She recently
joined an artists forum and was informed of her
atrocious Better Business Bureau Record:

[link]

A lawsuit she lost against Josephine Wall for
illegally registering a web domain containing her name
and misrepresenting her art:

[link]

(they also did the same thing to Jessica Galbreth)

And her current fiasco, she posted in the forum
expressing her shock in reaction to her BBB record and the lawsuit,
and she has enclosed a listing of
her (Laura's) emails to her (Artist):

Email 1, she included the quote that she said on the
forum:

The Artist's quote in the forum:

"OMG - The Gothic Faery Store
bought a wholesale order of prints from me a year ago!
=>_<= I had NO idea this was going on!
Fortunately I had no trouble with her, except that she
demanded lower prices on my wholesale which I bended
to, but my goodness!
I've noticed the store closed lately.. and that my
prints didn't stay up there long. They made talk of
licensing me and to ask about it but when I did they
never replied back. Which I guess tells me that I'm
not as shoddy as I thought I was, that there was
something more going on.

Thats really scary. I'm glad my prints aren't up there
anymore. What other names has this person used? "

Laura's statement on the post:

Excuse me? I didnt demand anything. I simply asked if
you would sell me your prints at the same price you
were selling them on ebay. According to YOU, you had
NEVER wholesaled before I came along.

You know, its people like you that make things the way
they are on that forum. My site is still up by the
way. Always has been.

Unbelievable.


Artist's reply:

"Unbelievable?

Yes and I found the information on you was
unbeleivable too. I wondered why your store was closed
for so long. Plus, get your facts strait. I did not
sell through ebay price to you, you wanted three
dollars a print, which I gave to you because you
wanted them that cheap.

Apparently this matter worries you enough to go
through a site and bother me about it. Don't try to
'set me strait' on the matter, there are many people
there that I really trust and wouldn't do me wrong.

Besides, what does my 'first time wholesaling' have to
do with this? If would have known then what I know now
I would not have sold to you.

Please do not contact me again.

Jayde"

Her reply:

"This will be the last email I send.

1. My store has NEVER been closed in over 6 years.

2. You were right about the 3.00 a print. It's not
that I wanted them
"cheap" just wanted them at a wholesale price I could
keystone.

3. Obviously the forum "doesnt bother me that much"
since you had
written what you said about me a month ago and I didnt
read it til
last night. The only reason I even read it was because
a very good
customer sent me an email with a link to that forum
and thought I
might find it interesting since she had purchased one
of your prints
from me.

4. You keep misspelling the word "straight" (its not
"strait")

RANDY SCOUSE GIT

Written by: Mickey Dolenz
Performed by: The Monkees

She's a wonderful lady
And she's mine all mine
And there doesn't seem a way
That she won't come and lose my mind.
It's too easy humming songs
To a girl in yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party
And the room is in a mess.

The four kings of E.M.I.
Are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk
And a valet at the door.
He reminds me of a penguin
With few and plastered hair,
There's talcum powder on the letter
And the birthday boy is there.

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?

Now they've darkened all the windows
And the seats are naugh-a-hyde.
I've been waiting for an hour,
I can't find a place to hide.
The being known as Wonder Girl
Is speaking I believe.
It's not easy tryin' to tell her
That I shortly have to leave.

Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.

[Progressive scat vocals]

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.

CLOVIS, N.M. - A call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers on rooftops, close nearby streets and lock down the school. All over a giant burrito.

ADVERTISEMENT

Someone called authorities Thursday after seeing a boy carrying something long and wrapped into Marshall Junior High.

The drama ended two hours later when the suspicious item was identified as a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapenos and wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt.

"I didn't know whether to laugh or cry," school Principal Diana Russell said.

State police, Clovis police and the Curry County Sheriff's Department arrived at the school shortly after 8:30 a.m. They searched the premises and determined there was no immediate danger.

In the meantime, more than 30 parents, alerted by a radio report, descended on the school. Visibly shaken, they gathered around in a semi-circle, straining their necks, awaiting news.

"There needs to be security before the kids walk through the door," said Heather Black, whose son attends the school.

After the lockdown was lifted but before the burrito was identified as the culprit, parents pulled 75 students out of school, Russell said.

Russell said the mystery was solved after she brought everyone in the school together in the auditorium to explain what was going on.

"The kid was sitting there as I'm describing this (report of a student with a suspicious package) and he's thinking, 'Oh, my gosh, they're talking about my burrito.'"

Afterward, eighth-grader Michael Morrissey approached her.

"He said, 'I think I'm the person they saw,'" Russell said.

The burrito was part of Morrissey's extra-credit assignment to create commercial advertising for a product.

"We had to make up a product and it could have been anything. I made up a restaurant that specialized in oddly large burritos," Morrissey said.

After students heard the description of what police were looking for, he and his friends began to make the connection. He then took the burrito to the office.

"The police saw it and everyone just started laughing. It was a laughter of relief," Morrissey said.

"Oh, and I have a new nickname now. It's Burrito Boy."

"Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; Some blunders and absurdities crept in; Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; You shall begin it serenely and With too high a spirit to be encumbered With your old nonsense."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson...

I think I would like to go take pictures. I have 6 rolls of ilford I'm dying to use.

I wish I had my darkroom here but I should manage to get it here eventually. It's so cold in TN right now and in my bedroom that I'm sure the chemicals and paper are going to be fine. I think I had like 5 rolls of ilford film in those boxes too.

I brought my enlarge lens on my carry on because I don't really see it being safe sending it any other way - now if I could only remember what I did with it.

Okay I'm done babbling.

So as of October 30th I moved to California. I got a job a few days later making nice money. I hated it there though and I quit after two weeks. So I'm unemployeed looking for a job again. I think I'd like to go back to doing Nanny work. It's kind of only been the job I've ever enjoyed doing and the pay isn't bad either. Anyhow I'm mainly looking for something that is close to the house since my transportation options are limited. Hopfully something will pop up soon.

Okay I'm done.

I get to vote. I didn't think I would be able to because I would be out of state on election day and that I didn't register as a absentee voter in time. But TN has early voting going on right now - which means I get to vote! YAY. I don't really know who I would vote for though. So I've been reading about issues today. I found an article I liked that didn't seem to have a biased view.

Where Bush and Kerry Stand on the Issues

CALVIN WOODWARD
Associated Press


A look at some of the positions of Republican President Bush and Democratic candidate John Kerry:

---

ABORTION

Support abortion rights?

Bush: Only in cases of rape or incest or when a woman's life is endangered. Signed bill to ban a procedure that opponents call partial-birth abortion.

Kerry: Yes. Would nominate only Supreme Court justices who support abortion rights. Voted against partial-birth ban.

---

BUDGET

Bush: Record deficits in a time of war, terrorism and tax cuts. 2004 deficit of $413 billion; the government had a $127 billion surplus three years earlier. Says deficits can be halved in five years but has not fully explained how. Bush proposes that Congress limit discretionary spending in programs outside defense and homeland security to a 0.5 percent increase next year.

Kerry: Cut deficit by half, at least, in first term, but has not fully explained how he would do so in light of major proposals on health care, education, defense and more. Repeal of Bush tax cuts for wealthier Americans would cover some costs.

---

DEATH PENALTY

Bush: Supports.

Kerry: Opposes "other than in cases of real international and domestic terrorism."

---

ECONOMY-TAXES

Bush's record: The economy has lost 821,000 jobs since Bush took office. Won $1.35 trillion in tax cuts for all income levels in 2001, a $96 billion stimulus in 2002 and a $330 billion package in 2003 - half of what he had sought. Congress this year approved $146 billion in 10-year tax cuts, extending the $1,000 child tax credit, the 10 percent income tax bracket and breaks for married couples; and $136 billion in corporate tax cuts over 10 years.

Bush's plans: Wants $3,000 re-employment accounts to help the unemployed with job-search expenses. Wants to make recently passed temporary tax cuts permanent, ease business regulations, pursue more free-trade deals, increase domestic energy production, limit class-action lawsuits and medical malpractice liability. Also, give tax breaks, regulatory relief and investment incentives to needy communities.

Kerry: Keep Bush's tax cuts for middle- and low-income people but raise taxes on people earning over $200,000. He promises taxpayers earning less than $200,000: "I am not going to raise taxes." Would increase child-care tax credit by $1,000. Spend on highways, school construction, pollution cleanup, energy projects and more to create 3 million jobs in 500 days. Provide $50 billion over two years to states struggling with budget deficits.

---

EDUCATION

Bush: Championed a 2002 overhaul of elementary and secondary education that toughened standards for teachers, schools and student achievement. Proposes expanding that No Child Left Behind law by requiring two more years of testing in reading and math in high school, which would mean annual state testing in grades three to 11. Create a $500 million fund for states and school districts that choose to reward effective teachers. Budget proposal would increase spending on poor school districts, children with disabilities, Pell grants to help poor students attend college, and experimental private-school voucher programs. The plan would cut spending on vocational education, a family literacy program, arts in education, dropout prevention and more. Spending on programs covered by No Child Left Behind Act and help for disabled children is up 43 percent since Bush took office - 49 percent if his budget proposal is passed.

Kerry: Pay for four years of college tuition at a public school for students who provide two years of full-time community service. Establish tax credit that gives families of low to middle income up to $2,500 on up to $4,000 of college tuition. Backed 2002 changes but says insufficient money was spent on them and too much emphasis is placed on tests for measuring student achievement. Wants to establish $2... ]]> ~wednesdaylove http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/3581029/ http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/3581029/ Wed, 13 Oct 2004 12:57:17 PDT
An American photographer abducted by gunmen in Iraq (news -web sites) said after his release Tuesday that he was treated well but did not know why he had been kidnapped.

Paul Taggart, 24, told Arab satellite television Al Arabiya that four gunmen grabbed him early Sunday while he was driving from his hotel in Baghdad to Sadr City, the sprawling and volatile Shi'ite slum area in the east of city.

"They fed me well, they didn't hurt me in any way. I don't know what their political interests were or financial. I don't know who they were. I speak very little Arabic and they spoke no English," he said in comments aired by Arabiya Wednesday.


"I will be going home, when I don't know, but I will go back to America to see my family and I'll begin work again, I don't know where," he added.


The New York-based picture agency representing him, World Picture News, said that Taggart, who had been in Iraq for about five months, was kidnapped in Baghdad's Habbeya Square when his car was intercepted by what appeared to be a criminal gang.


The agency said he had been on his way to a planned 10-day picture-shooting project in Sadr City. It said Taggart's release was partly facilitated by his journalist colleagues in Baghdad, but gave no details.


The abduction was one of dozens of kidnappings of non-Iraqis in recent months, many of which have ended with the victims killed. ]]> ~wednesdaylove http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/3580490/ http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/3580490/ Wed, 13 Oct 2004 11:40:43 PDT

Oh well... when I get all my credit cards paid off I will subscribe yet again. So umm.. in about five years. heh jk

Umm it all looks different now. lol

---------------------------------------- -----------------------

So I have all new chemicals and film and all that but still have no enlarger lamp. That I def will have to wait a while for. I can't shell out $60 for a while. I think I will go ahead and pack up all my darkroom equipment and ship it to California. That will cost a small fortune.

Well today started nice. I got all my darkroom supplies I had ordered from Freestyle and my film. So I made me a fresh batch of developer and fixer and make some prints in my darkroom on and off today.

So a few minutes ago I found some negatives I did about two years ago that I really liked. So I place a negative in the film tray, turn my enlarger on and focus it and then all of a sudden

BOOM!!!!

(okay there wasn't a boom, but my heart made a boom.)

My enlarger lamp blew.



:: cries ::

They cost like $60!!!! BAH!!!!!

So yes I am sad now.

So I attempted to do some more prints in my darkroom. My developer is pushing antique (okay not really - but it is expired). Found out my safe light was missing something and thats why the prints were looking even worse.

Ordered some new safelights, print developer and film developer, a flash for my WOCA, some Ilford 35 mm and 120 film.

Found a model for the antique wedding dress I bought on ebay a while ago. Can't wait to shoot them.

I suppose that is all.



I would also like to note that is mean.

So I am babysitting as a career right now. Not in college at the moment either. So I am the ultimate bum. Gonna move to CA in october, and hopfully enroll in an online college to finish up a degree in January. I'm considering Criminal Justice but I might do something else. Criminal Justice sounds so much more interesting then Buisness Administration tho.

I want to keep up with my Photography too though. Perhaps eventually take some workshops. I'm very interested in the Julia Dean workshops.


Well this is boring now. So I think I will stop writing.

PARIS (AFP) - Veteran French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, who has died at the age of 95, was universally hailed as one of the most influential image-makers of the last century.


Born in August 1908 to a bourgeois family in a small town east of Paris, Cartier-Bresson took up photography in the 1930s after first studying painting.


After World War II, he co-founded the Magnum photo agency, and his pictures now hang in art galleries all over the world.


Shooting only black-and-white film, shunning artificial light and refusing to crop his pictures, he is seen by critics as one of the generation of photographers responsible for elevating what had been a hobby or a profession into a fully-fledged art form.


His personal contribution was to combine the notion of the "Decisive Moment" -- the name he gave to a major collection of his work in 1952 -- with the meticulous eye for design and proportion that he learned from his studies with painter Andre Lhote in the 1920s.


The "Decisive Moment," he said in an oft-quoted line, "is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organisation of forms which give that event its proper expression."


A student of the Surrealists, a movement at its height in the Paris of the 1920s, Cartier-Bresson shared their view of the unpredictability of significance.


With the unobtrusive and fast-shooting cameras that became available from the 1930s, he was permanently on the look-out for arresting images, blazing the trail for generations of photojournalists to come.


Rebellious by nature, Cartier-Bresson left his studies in 1931 for colonial Africa where he spent a year as a hunter and took his first photographs, few of which have survived.


Returning to France he came to realize the possibilities of the camera, acquired the Leica which became his trademark and began -- in his words -- "prowling the streets... determined to trap life, to preserve life in the act of living."


Before the war he worked in eastern Europe, Spain and Mexico and collaborated with the film director Jean Renoir. Imprisoned by the Germans in 1940, he escaped three years later and witnessed the liberation of Paris and the return of prisoners-of-war.


In 1947 he joined two colleagues at the newspaper Ce Soir, Robert Capa and David Seymour, to found Magnum Photos, which for decades set the standard for photographic reportage around the world. Cartier-Bresson was there at the start of Communism in China and the murder of Mahatma Gandhi in India.


Among the famous names who have sat for him are Jean-Paul Sartre, Carson McCullers, Barbara Hepworth, Henri Matisse, Edith Piaf and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. He left Magnum in 1966 to concentrate on portraiture, landscapes and drawing.


Last year the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation was opened in the Montparnasse district of Paris, housing more than 1,000 original prints as well as contact sheets, films, manuscripts and correspondence. It also offers exhibition space for up-and-coming photographers.


At the same time a retrospective show of his work at the National Library drew tens of thousands of visitors.


Among the celebrated images on display were the moustachioed, bowler-hatted man caught peeping through the canvas surround at a sporting event in Brussels in 1932; a female prisoner denouncing a Gestapo informer in 1945; a boyish Truman Capote in 1947 and children playing near the Berlin Wall in 1962.


There were also a recent self-portrait in his flat overlooking the capital's Tuileries gardens, snaps taken with his parents or in captivity in Germany in the war, and a poster from his first exhibition -- in New York City 71 years ago.

Reading: The Worry Wort's Guide

Van Gogh Quotes (artist):

- I am risking my life for my work, and half my reason has gone.

- I tell you, the more I think, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
- I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say 'he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.


Frida Kahlo Quotes (artist):

- I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.
- My painting carries with it the message of pain.
- Painting completed my life.
- They are so damn 'intellectual' and rotten that I can't stand them anymore....I [would] rather sit on the floor in the market of Toluca and sell tortillas, than have anything to do with those 'artistic' bitches of Paris. [on Andrß Breton and the European surrealists


Imogen Cunningham Quotes (photographer):

-I always think that the finest one is the one I'm going to do,
not the one that I have done. So as soon as I've done it, it's finished.
But I'm hoping some day to do a fine one.
- Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow.
- …There are too many people studying it [photography] now who are never going to make it. You can’t give them a formula for making it. You have to have it in you first, you don’t learn it. The seeing eye is the important thing. -Imogen Cunningham


Ansel Adams Quotes (photographer):

- Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.


James Nachtwey Quotes: (war photographer)

- I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated.

Mary Ellen Mark Quotes: (photographer)

- A good print is really essential. I want to take strong documentary photographs that are as good technically as any of the best technical photographs, and as creative as any of the best fine-art photographs. [That is doubly important because] i don't want to just be a photo essayist; I'm more interested in single images.... once that I feel are good enough to stand on their own.

- I'm trying to please myself; certainly that's a big criterion... though in a sense, I don't take images jusy for myself. I take images that I think other people will want to see. I don't take pictures to put in a box and hide them. I want as many people to see them as possible.

- [When photographing I want to reach and touch] something that I feel is at the core of people.

- I think you have to have a real point of view that's your own. You have to tell it your way. And, I think that it's a mistake to shoot for a specific magazine's point of view because it's never going to be as good. You have to shoot for yourself and photograph [ the way] you belive it.

I really like this poem, so I decided to post it.

Mood: has no name
Listening to: How Far Is Heaven
Reading: The Highly Sensitive Person

Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where he himself is free.

(America never was America to me.)

Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed--
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.

(It never was America to me.)

O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.

(There's never been equality for me,
Nor freedom in this "homeland of the free.")

Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?
And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?

I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart,
I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars.
I am the red man driven from the land,
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek--
And finding only the same old stupid plan
Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.

I am the young man, full of strength and hope,
Tangled in that ancient endless chain
Of profit, power, gain, of grab the land!
Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying need!
Of work the men! Of take the pay!
Of owning everything for one's own greed!

I am the farmer, bondsman to the soil.
I am the worker sold to the machine.
I am the Negro, servant to you all.
I am the people, humble, hungry, mean--
Hungry yet today despite the dream.
Beaten yet today--O, Pioneers!
I am the man who never got ahead,
The poorest worker bartered through the years.

Yet I'm the one who dreamt our basic dream
In the Old World while still a serf of kings,
Who dreamt a dream so strong, so brave, so true,
That even yet its mighty daring sings
In every brick and stone, in every furrow turned
That's made America the land it has become.
O, I'm the man who sailed those early seas
In search of what I meant to be my home--
For I'm the one who left dark Ireland's shore,
And Poland's plain, and England's grassy lea,
And torn from Black Africa's strand I came
To build a "homeland of the free."

The free?

Who said the free? Not me?
Surely not me? The millions on relief today?
The millions shot down when we strike?
The millions who have nothing for our pay?
For all the dreams we've dreamed
And all the songs we've sung
And all the hopes we've held
And all the flags we've hung,
The millions who have nothing for our pay--
Except the dream that's almost dead today.

O, let America be America again--
The land that never has been yet--
And yet must be--the land where every man is free.
The land that's mine--the poor man's, Indian's, Negro's, ME--
Who made America,
Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,
Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,
Must bring back our mighty dream again.

Sure, call me any ugly name you choose--
The steel of freedom does not stain.
From those who live like leeches on the people's lives,
We must take back our land again,
America!

O, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath--
America will be!

Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,
The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,
We, the people, must redeem
The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.
The mountains and the endless plain--
All, all the stretch of these great green states--
And make America again!

So.. I went into my dark room to load two rolls of film into my tank. While spooling the first roll on I dropped it. Without thinking I bent down to search for it with my hands. I forgot that just a few hours ago I had moved part of my enlarger on the floor (the base and everything with the head removed).

My eye hit the top directly and hard. It hurt so bad.
I left the roll on the floor to be exposed as I made my way out of my darkroom.

My eye hurts now heh. I bet I'll have a black eye tommorrow.

I also leave for CA tommorrow.

I took three rolls of film. Nothing really special, my kittens, my pond, and my house. I'm trying to get a nice shot of our pond so I can have it enlarged for my dad maybe. The pond seems to be his pride and joy. heh.

And I love my 5 little kittens, so like a good grandmother, I have to take lots of picture of them. They all have such different personalities.

I realized I get a rush or high when I am alone in a good setting taking pictures. It's pretty nice. ]]> ~wednesdaylove http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2289510/ http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2289510/ Sat, 24 Apr 2004 14:34:17 PDT
The first roll I gave the developer an extra minute just incase the developer was weak from age.

I guess it wasn't cause they are pretty dark. Not bullet proof dark - but kind of dark.

The second roll I did regualr time and thet came out nice.

I want to get a flash for it. It's a cheap $20 WOCA 120 camera. Works good though. ]]> ~wednesdaylove http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2243659/ http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2243659/ Sat, 17 Apr 2004 16:12:25 PDT
I have this thing for old dresses, but especially old wedding dresses.

I saw a beautiful one at Goodwill a while ago. It was long satin ivory. They wanted like $120 - so I of course didn't buy it.

But I have some photography ideas running through my head that involve the dress.

It kind of looks like a night gown.

She's a wonderful lady and she's mine, all mine
And there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind
It's too easy humming songs to a girl in yellow dress
Been a long time since the party
And the room is in a mess

The four kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin with few and plastered hairs
Talcum powder on the letter, and the birthday boy is there.

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?

Now they've darkened all the windows
And the seats are naugh-a-hyde.
I've been waiting for an hour,
I can't find a place to hide.
The being known as Wonder Girl
Is speaking I believe.
It's not easy tryin' to tell her
That I shortly have to leave.

Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.

[progressive scat vocals]

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free ]]> ~wednesdaylove http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2222352/ http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2222352/ Wed, 14 Apr 2004 13:32:17 PDT ~wednesdaylove http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2218512/ http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2218512/ Tue, 13 Apr 2004 22:20:11 PDT
I liked the classes. Well the one I went to.
I didn't like having every hour of my life planned for a month though. So after having a short mental breakdown I left.

Maybe I regret it a little - but not so much.
Had I of stayed the entire month I would have had a full ride to art school more then likely. But now I am relying on financial aid to get me through the state's university.

My senior year in highschool I needed an extra class to fill time and I also wanted to take Photography to use as an aid to my art work.

While taking this class I fell in love with Photography and realized I was kind of good at it - especially having no previous experience in it.

Alot of people think Photography is a joke. They think that anyone could make a career out of it. I hear this alot. They think anyone can take a good picture.

I wasn't sure if it was true or not. It seemed logical.

I have worked at a drug store for almost a year now doing 1-hour Photo. I have come to the conclusion - not just anyone can take a good photo. If it was so easy I would see it alot more often then I do.

With photography I think the best thing you need is "the eye".

I think being an art student so long helped me in my Photography. Also being an over emotional person as well. I've cried during a 1-800-COLLECT commercial.

Anyhow.

I have no patience and I feel cheated.
I know i have some talents - I just wish they would go noticed. I wish I could have some kind of real thing happen.

I'm wasting time in college but I'm still getting that photography degree. Why? I don't know. I highly doubt I will ever use it in my life for a photo job.

Oi all the photography ideas I have that I want to do - but they take money and time! hehe

Tis late. I will stop rambling for now. ]]> ~wednesdaylove http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2217898/ http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2217898/ Tue, 13 Apr 2004 20:44:22 PDT

Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you.

Starry, starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will. ]]> ~wednesdaylove http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2187278/ http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2187278/ Fri, 09 Apr 2004 16:05:54 PDT I picked up a Kodak Ektralite 500 Camer outfit still in it's original box. It doesn't look like it's even been used ever. Has everything in the box, the camera looks brand new. I asked the woman how much it was and she said I could have it because I was the only person who had even looked at it all day.

I bought me some 110 film to play with it. hehe ]]> ~wednesdaylove http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2182377/ http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2182377/ Thu, 08 Apr 2004 21:35:16 PDT
It's not a stable job. Not many even make that much money. You get more bad critiques then good sometimes.

I'm an artist. I know it's what Im here to do. If I could be a lawyer or accountant and knew thats what I should be doing and be happy about it I would - but I really don't think I could do that. Well, I pretty much know I couldn't.

I have grown up poor, so I hope that I will not be poor for the rest of my life. I hope my children are able to have more then I did. But If I don't make any money with my photography or art and have to work various other jobs then thats okay too I guess.

The sad thing is what I want most is to be remembered. I want to be in history books. I want my prints to be recognized for years to pass. I want young artists to look up to my life and be halfly obessed with my art and life like I am with artists like Van Gogh and Frida Kahlo.

I don't want to make decorations tho. I want to make art that makes people think and feel. ]]> ~wednesdaylove http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2178413/ http://wednesdaylove.deviantart.com/journal/2178413/ Thu, 08 Apr 2004 11:38:47 PDT
And explaining what it is as a title doesn't count. ie: "Kid wearing sunglasses."

It's like having a baby and just calling it baby or kid instead of giving it a title not a description.

I don't know why but it just bothers me when people don't give titles.

It doesn't seem like the work is finish without a name. ]]> ~wednesdaylove
