Atchison County, KS, 2009.

I haven’t been out in the country with my camera for more than a few weeks now, and I’m feeling it… I’ve got lots to work on — this week I’ll be finishing up and dropping off my donation to the Lawrence Arts Center for their annual benefit auction. I’m also working on some more wintery images for possible greeting cards for Artists To Watch. And then, all the other work I need to get done, especially in preparation for my summer of art fairs. I’ve signed on to the Zeleny Art Fair — a new one-day event taking place in Parkville, MO, on the last Saturday of April.

I’ve also been trying to get myself in gear to run the Westport St. Patrick’s Day 4-miler with my cousin next Saturday in Kansas City.. I’m not competing, and I generally prefer to run alone as a sort of meditational thing — clear thoughts, feeling each step on the ground, paying close attention to the environment around me, yadda yadda, but it’s a nice feeling of accomplishment to finish a race and it’s pretty fun as well. Til next time.
