the letter S

Note to group: this was never a letter S, but Kari was very helpful in finding this public piece of art that looks like an S.

I dedicate this photo to Margo. This is the Portland Hostel on SE Hawthorne. I’ve never stayed there, but it seems to be a popular place for visitors to stay. Check out the green roof!

I am beside myself excited about my first photography exhibit at the Gigibar in April. I went over to Gigibar yesterday to meet with Gigi. She was quite helpful to go over all the details I need to know in order to prepare (i.e. supplies I need to install my work, what the dimensions are on the wall spaces, how to sell my photography, how to promote my work via postcards or business cards, and perhaps having an art opening at the space).

In the meantime, I have started to plan out what 10 photographs I will display in the Espresso / Wine Bar. In order to give myself a kick start, I asked my friends on facebook to vote on 1 of their favorite photos I have listed on this blog under the tab “favorites”. So far, the majority vote is for this photo called, “Reflections”. Thanks, pals! There is still time to vote. So if you want to take a minute to look at the photos – click on”Favorites” and please leave a comment with your vote. Thank you in advance. :)

I must thank Gigi in advance for giving me this opportunity to display my photography. Thank you, Gigi!!!! May your espresso wine bar always be prosperous!

So my sister Angie was so totally right. Way back in November I was talking shit about how I love love love Portland. And, oh yes,… I DO totally love Portland. This is my permanent home. Angie quickly responded, “You just wait until the middle of Winter!!!!! It’s totally gonna KICK. YOUR. ASSsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.” She said this almost like the wicked witch of the west. I had NO CLUE what she meant by this and my touche to her was, “Oh, come on! You’re just jealous, cuz Portland is so much better than Seattle!?!!!!!”

Fast fwd to this week. Okay, sister. YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! Cuz girrrrrrrl, this grey grey grey is totally kicking my ASSsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! I’ve been finally experiencing the mid-winter syndrome of wanting to scream at the top of my lungs …

“I’m sick of the friggen grey days and am totally ready for some consistant warm, sunny, happy happy days!”

I apologize for the bitchy kitty REOW REOWWWWWwwwwww lately. Yep, Angie was so right.
