I wish everyone a year of unexpected dreams. Barack and Michelle have carried us into uncharted dream territory. There are terrible dangers, yes, but unheard of opportunities as well.
1 commentOn my last trip to NYC to see Sue and Bernie I took these cute photos:
I had the most wonderful day yesterday photographing Annie and her friends running around Tryon Creek Park in dress-up clothes. I have all the luck! Sara heaven really. The girls all arrived with no shoes and they spent the next hour and a half running around barefoot.
Annie, Sue, Bernie, Chris and Janet and I had the honor to attend Bob's Memorial at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC on November 3rd, 2008. It was a spectacular event with the museum open at night in an arms-open reception for Bob. Everything was grand, formal, austere, important, and beautiful. Below is Janet's great photo:
1 commentI had an intense summer with no less than 5 trips to NYC to visit my ailing dad, Bernard Kirschenbaum. He is hanging in there with various serious ailments of the mind, body and spirit. But that did not stop me from getting to some beautiful bodies of water in the San Juan Islands, the Oregon Coast, and Coney Island. You can click here to go directly to the water pictures in my website.
This summer kicked off with my dad's heart attack.. On summer solstice - June 21 - he collapsed and had to be revived with a shock to his heart. He is doing better although a severely infected gall bladder has complicated the recovery. He has been in the hospital several times and I've made many trips back to NYC several times this summer to be with him and cheer him up.

1 commentI just added a bunch of new pottery pieces. Its been a hard quarter for my ceramics; so many things cracked! I was trying to work on a much larger scale and found that pretty challenging. The studio where I work does high-fire firing and that is hard on pieces. I lost more than half of what I made to cracks. But there is still a lot of new pieces. You can click here as a short cut to the Pottery gallery. Let me know what you think!
I've added lots of new photos to the photo gallery. Whole new sections like People Making Art, Water with Fowl, Julia's Farm. What do you think?
Well, I'm sure I'll have a lot more editing to do but at least I finished my first draft. It has 51 chapters and is about 345 pages long. Its been 10, count'em TEN, years in the making. But most of it was written in the past year. Right now Karen Karbo is taking a look at it and will tell me what I might do next. She took a look at it a few months ago and was very helpful. You can check her out at karenkarbo.com. If you'd like to see more of my book than the first chapter, drop me a line on the contact page.
Did you know that the most recently posted images in the galleries (on this website) appear first in the line of images? So if you want to check to see what I've posted most recently, you just click on the first squares in the various catagories in my Drawing, Pottery and Photography galleries.
