    This is like, part photography, part impressionism. Love it. :)
    And I read that you were in the paper! (followed the link)
    Wow…you’ve been busy lately, eh? BIG congratz on the gallery showings
    too. YOU GO GIRL. :)

  • gabryshak replied

    I LOVE the snow – so far it’s my favorite to photograph… there’s something so transforming about the snow, peaceful, serene, and magical even…. as for everything else… busy doesn’t begin to cover it… sometimes i wonder how i do it all (mostly with the kids) and other times i wonder if i will ever live long enough to do everything i long for! ... did you hear i got the $10k scholarship from talbot’s womens? i’m pretty darn humbled. decided i would put it all towards pcnw (photographic center northwest) it’s an accredited fine art photography only school, pretty psyched… theatre will have to wait.

    Birgitta

    And hey, FINE ART photography??
    Awesome............ :)

  • gabryshak replied

    i’ll start in the fall… i can already feel the inspiration beginning to grow… there is something to be said about surrounding yourself with the right people… when i was at the paramount theatre back in the late 80’s early 90’s i took off in my music almost like it was as easy as drinking water… it’s like being noursihed by others talent… i’m really psyched! ♥t

  • Birgitta

    Birgitta

    Well I’ll keep you in my prayers, always.
    There’s a whole new chapter of your life waiting to be written!
    Can’t wait to read the book. :)
