Our little world is in a bit of trouble, and someone needs to do something effective to turn things around. But, who can we turn to? Who has the power to turn things around in a little world so seemingly large?  World leaders?  Politicians?  Celebrities?  The media?  Who. Two thousand years ago, give or take a couple hundred years, someone had the idea it was the every day people who could make the biggest difference, because that is who he brought his message to.  A message of love.  Love your neighbor. He gave his message to you and to me,...

One River, a photography show curated by me and my husband, will open tomorrow night (Friday, December 2, 2011) at Marti's on Main in Albion, New York.  The public is welcome to the opening reception from 5:30 to 9:00 that evening.  If you are one of my readers in the local area, I hope you will come by.  It will be a fun, warm, and happy evening.  We have fifty six photographs printed on Kodak's Endura Metallic paper in sizes 8x10, 11x14 and 16x20 all matted and framed in the exhibit. The photographs have been shot over the past sixty...

Thereofre, I hope you will all...

From Me:  Buy One, Get One Free on all of my Knitter's Eye Charts and other prints.  Buy one, get one of equal or lesser value free -- no limits (includes sets of three).  Buy from my Etsy shop or my website.  This also applies to any fine art photographs...
