This is Halloween!

Since this is kind of a transition week over at SPC between the new and the old themes, I have decided to post about my Halloween costume. I don't normally dress in the early 1900's Edwardian style, but I did wear this outfit to work today. I had planned on making an Andy Warhol Campbell's soup paper dress knockoff for my costume, but things went awry and there wasn't enough time. I was forced to move on to plan B. Oh, what to be, what to be. I did 1940's glamour last year, so that was out. I raked my brain and several "that's not happening" ideas later, I decided that I would try to dress up like some random character from an Edward Gorey story.

I found the cape, shirt, and dress all in one trip to the thrift store. I bought some fake flowers and a bird to decorate my old hat. The cat stole my black rose and I caught her trying to sneak attack the bird after I left the room to answer the phone. I stopped her just in time. No animals were harmed during the making of the hat. I was pleased with how it turned out. Other than a few people thinking that I was Mary Poppins, it was all good.

Tea, Me, and Sesame Street Makes Three

I had breakfast with Sarah and Greg the morning after the wedding. It was a good time, but I drank just a little too much wine at the after reception party. The tea is fixing me up.

Look at more people with food over at the self portrait challenge.

AKRONography

Five of my photos are in the latest show at Summit Artspace. The show is called AKRONography and and it is an all photography exhibition of images taken in and around the greater Akron area. I am very honored to be a part of this show. I have always wanted to add Summit Artspace to my resume. The list is slowly, but surely growing. A few of my old photography schoolmates and one of my former teachers, are also in the show. I had a chance to walk through the exhibit yesterday. There is some wonderful work in there. The opening reception is from 5-7 today. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend. It's a bummer, because I do so love to schmooze and meet people at art shows. My very good friend is getting married today, and since Sarah is more important to me than the schmoozing, I will skip out, just this once, for her. Man, the sacrifices I make for my friends. Just kidding Sarah, I love you!

Congratulations Sarah and Greg! Congratulations Janice, Arnie, Andrew, Frances, Chris, John, and all of the others who made it in! Congratulations to me! Today is a day of celebration!
