Angels and Butts!



I went to the Fort Worth Arts Festival this morning but didn't get many photos. I was just not "feeling" it. I did, however, get this one shot that I am "happy" with after some photoshop playing. One of the Bass Hall angels (probably one of the most photographed building facades in the city).

I was also going through my photo library and came across one folder that I forgot I had... my "Butts" folder. Last year, I was at Scarborough Fair in Waxahatchie, TX and was taking random photos of whatever I saw. What I saw most of were the backends of people and animals. I wasn't "planning" this - it just happened.

When in a crowded situation, you see lots of back ends. It's like a rite of passage I guess. I dunno.

Anyway! Here's some visuals...

This guy was wearing some sort of denim leg-warmers? I did NOT know what he was trying to accomplish and what ever it was, I think "FAIL" would be the most appropriate word to use here.


The guy was a cutie - really.


Who wears heels to a Renaissance festival where there are NO paved walkways? Obviously, this girl does.

One of the "German Boys" - VERY funny. He's pretending to be a hot German male model in someone's big glam-sunglasses.


Horse and Rider...


Llama butt.


and shimmy butt. She was pretty good.

I am going to Scarborough Fair next weekend. I shall be taking my cameras as usual. Maybe I will be able to add to this collection!

Stay Tuned.

My Bucket List Getting Lighter.


Well, here's the wall of framed Andi-stuff. One photo you can't see but I've already posted it here in this blog some time back.

Anyway, not a lot of people showed but that is ok. I really appreciate those who did! REALLY!

Tomorrow I might go out and get some photos of crowds at the Fort Worth Main Street Arts Fest. I love getting lost in crowds. That is one of my other little weird quirks. You will find that I have alot of those.

Anyway, I am very tired. Today has been stressful and has been GO GO GO since 5:30am with workouts, work, and artshow.

I really am so glad some people showed. I almost left twice just as two people showed up. Crazy. I am so glad I didnt leave. =D

Now, what is next on my life-to-do list?

Ah yes... Skydive.

More on that later.

Forgot to add...

I forgot to add to my last post that I changed my "business" cards from reading, "Casual Photographer" to "Creative Observer" because that is what I am - I'm an observer not a photographer. I just happen to be an observer with a camera.

Little Miss Outgoing

I am officially up on a publicly displayed wall now. Well, *I* am not, but my photos are. I can not tell you how nervous I am about this. I am not all that into being "Little Miss Outgoing" but this is a self-imposed test on me. Why? I dont know. I just feel as if I have to push myself out of my comfort zone because I have this feeling I am about to be asked to do so or given an opportunity in which I will have to be more assertive. So, the photo above is like a part of myu journey. Each arch I pass under, I learn something new. That might sound kooky, but it's all I got at the moment.


I need to get out and get more photos but I am so busy pushing myself to grow in other ways. Like, fitness, I am at the gym 3 to 4 times a week in an attempt to better my physical self so I can live longer and have more energy. It's working and I've lost some weight and my blood pressure  is down. At work, I keep trying to learn new ways of making things more efficient and accurate. I'm very scared of failure at work and beat myself up mentally every time I make a mistake. BUT, without mistakes, I can't learn. But I don't make mistakes on purpose for a learning experience. That's just silly. At school, I am not pushing myself as I think I should. I'm getting tired with it so I am taking the summer off. I have to anyway because no classes I need are being offered.


And here's photo 3 of 6 photos I am showing. =) I cant remember if I have posted them here or not already. I am also showing "Stolen Moments" and "Coffee Break" (both of which I know I've posted) and also "Twig" (see below). That's it I guess. Twig is Mom's favorite. =D I am not sure if I have a favorite.


I wonder if anyone actually reads this. I wonder if my photos will get attention. I left cards out pointing to this blog. I'm not trying to sound stuck-up. I'm just curious. Oh well... We'll see! This coming Friday I am meeting some friends up at Starbucks for a sort of "opening" party. I think it's silly and dont want to do it but I was talked into it. *sigh* - Just another thing I have to do to push myself "out there" so... I will be happy about it, darnit! I was able to hang the stuff today because the artist who was up took her stuff down early.
