Today is the day! My pink suitcase and I head out on another adventure, this time to Las Vegas to teach A Sense of Place at Selah. And also do some other fun things… like travel with my girlfriend Rainie, photograph the Vegas lights at night, and get to know some new creative peeps! I can’t wait. There is still room in the workshop and the extra activities, if you’d like to come join us. I would love to meet you!
This travel is the closing chapter of a month and a half of trips… Singapore, Spring Break, Vegas. I’ve noticed I do this: pack a whole bunch of trips and activities together in one short, and crazy, period of time. I did it last fall too, with travel for my brother’s wedding, England and then Vancouver all in a month and a half.
Do I do this on purpose? I’m starting to wonder. I can’t say it’s bad necessarily, looking back I see my mobile art renaissance coming out of that period of time last fall. Who knows what will happen this time? One thing I have learned: It all comes together, in some way, in my art.
The other thing that came out of last fall’s trip to England was a desire to have an easier way to connect without a computer. I had such a struggle with sharing and connecting during my England trip! Through the iPhone and iPad I now have a system, and today I’m sooooo thankful. Last night my son called me down the hall in a concerned voice, “Mom! Your computer has an error! It says the fan has failed and you need to service your PC!” Needless to say, the PC was shut down immediately. So now I’m without my desktop PC until I can fix the fan, which won’t be possible until after my trip. I’m relieved I have other options to connect now, so I can keep in touch with my classes and drop a note to you all today on the blog.
So, looking back I can see: Good things come out of the experiences of crazy times. And in then next couple of months, when my pink suitcase is put away for a while, I’ll figure out what new growth and inspiration has come from this recent time. Right now all I can do is live it and enjoy each moment as it comes.
Can’t wait to photograph the city with you! This is going to be so much fun.
Inspiring! Have a great time in Vegas!! And remember..what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! 😉
Have fun on your travels, I’m heading off to the UK in a couple of weeks to visit family and attend my brothers wedding, can’t wait.
Absolutely love that image, very cool.
Safe travels! Have fun in Las Vegas – I wish I could come!
I am with you about wanting to be more mobile – I was in Italy last week and found myself turning more and more to just the iPhone as a camera, editing system and posting tool.
Have a great time in Vegas!
Have a wonderful time away and thank you for LYA I have heard that two of mine have landed!
