Look for the Light!

Travel has taken me away from my usual life in the Loft Studio.  This is a good thing!  DH (Darling Hubby) and I have traveled for 22 days in France and Germany, and will soon venture back to Minnesota to visit friends and family for a few days.  After that, life in the Loft Studio will return full force.  The LS is organized with new projects ready to go, cleaned, and awaits painting (the walls type) when we return from MN.  The furniture  has been rearranged “one more time”, nail holes in the walls have been filled, and I have worked at completing some “other” sewing… the usual adaptations of clothing that never fits quite right.

As I wondered (and wandered) about how to get back into blogging, I came across this wonderful video – “it’s all about the light” says Karen Walrond, author of  The Beauty of Different: Observations of a Confident Misfit.  In this short video, she uses photography and travel stories which support the story she tells in her book.  She talks as a photographer and how light is the basis for successful photography (and I say all “art”).  She talks about travel and the connectedness we strive to find with the new places we see.  Watch the video as an artist and a traveler, but of course, also as a philosopher, as she takes her photographic expertise a bit further and applies the same constructs to her travel observations and to her life in general.  It is so worth watching!  Click on the link above, sit back, and relax while you watch and learn.  It will only take 15 minutes ~ and Lord knows, it will relieve your stress! :>}

Now that I’m back into blogging, the next blogs will focus on a new project which will go into my Memoir Collection, but I also will begin to insert some of the inspirations from our travels… the Travel Collection needs to begin to take form.  It is good to be back!
