Eight Sixteen Twentytwelve

Greetings, How is everyone? Me, I am well... thanks for asking. I just got done with my summer semester of college. Took two mini-mesters. They are full length courses squished down to just 5 weeks. It can be rough when you have 2 classes in each mini-mester for a total of 4 classes, 2 in each mini-mester. I like them because they are fast and furious. I had Digital Imaging in this last class, and I did rather well, a B for my total grade. I learned quite a bit about digital photography as well as tools used to edit images to bring out the details and make them works of art. Here is one I am very proud of, and have even been offered $200.00 dollars for it as a 16x20 print matted. The picture is of The Equestrian out in front of the El Paso International Airport.

The Sculptor and I have chatted a couple times online and on the phone when I did a paper on him for another class I had, Art Appreciation. John Sherrill Houser is a nice man, he had plenty of advice for a young artist, and an open demeanor to all my questions. He was over seas in Italy at the time working on another art project over there, but he took the time from his busy scheduled to entertain my Q&A and personal insights. Here is his site if you want to see more of his work. John Sherrill Houser I have an affinity for tilt photography. It is where you take everyday ordinary scenery and make it look like miniature toys. This is an example of what I achieved, Toy Cars.

School is going well, and I hope to be finished soon. I would love to change professions and move forward. The wife recently graduated, but found out in order to work in her field she needs a Bachelors Degree, so she is currently working hard to get that. I hope all this education is worth it... cause it feels like it will never end. lol. Hope you all enjoy the pictures, and are doing well. More later.
