Those who were at our last meeting saw this as this poor fish was on the supermarket parking lot and I literally stepped on it.  It seemed too good to pass up so I "power shot" it several times and this is the result.  I'm not sure how it got to that particular spot, but it gave me the challenge I needed, for which I'm grateful.  That's why I thought in terms of a sacrifice.

Week #30

After the meeting on Sunday I was so mentally busy processing it that I forgot to post this latest.  Although presenting my thoughts and work is still hard, it is so valuable, and such a heart-warming experience in this group. 
This is from one of my walks in the sunny weather that had everyone outside.  Today we're back in the stormy and gray atmosphere.  A good day for catching up on postings.

Week #29

This photo was taken before the long nor'easter which is blowing as I write.  I had been enjoying my new camera on a walk.  Also of note this week is that I ordered and received a new printer which will allow me to print a number of different sizes.  It seems to handle both black and white and color to a degree my previous printer couldn't.  It's big and to set it up I found myself reorganizing my studio.  I think that's also to the good.

Week #28 Upgrading step 1

I took the plunge yesterday and bought a digital camera - a point and shoot with 12.1 megapixels.  The cell phone camera I've been using has 1.3 megapixels. It fits in my purse which was very important, since being able to photograph things at the time they caught my eye was very freeing.  At any rate, my haiga expresses my excitement about this step.  My next step is to buy a printer with more capabilities.  I have one in mind and will probably buy it very soon.  This is not a direction I would have predicted, but I'm going with it to see what happens.  Kay Dolezal
