  Yesterday I came to the realisation that I really do need to live life just like my dogs; in the moment. / I had a chance to photograph a wonderful sight as I was driving along the main road to town. Instead of stopping right there on the side of the road, and risking holding up traffic or having someone honk their horn at me, or even worse, look at me like I was an idiot, I drove further down looking for a side road where I might get a good view of what I wanted to photograph. / I drove down this dirt road between the sugar cane and realised as I drove that the cane was going to obstruct every chance I had at my target. / I drove back to the main road only to find that it had gone, dissipated. / It was a wonderful sight, cloud all over the mountains and rising up between 2 mountains was a really broad rainbow that ended at the clouds. It looked like it was fighting to get through the clouds and losing the battle. / I was so disappointed and wished that I had just stopped when I spotted it, and taken the shot. / :(

  Okay, I’ve got the last of the stuff I ordered from the bubble today. So, I can begin to give some impressions on what I have. Might help to list what I ordered (generically, not specifics). A Good Handful of Cards One Canvas Print One T-shirt 5 Calendars Impressions The cards are first rate. I honestly don’t buy a lot of cards. I haven’t done Christmas cards in years, and when I did, we’re talking the most generic stuff possible, and these cards from redbubble are light years from the quality of those. No complaints are concerns. I would still like the ability to set an individual percent on my own cards versus prints, especially with the base price rising. But that’s a technical issue, not a quality issue. The canvas print is nice. It was very well put assembled and packed. Through no fault of redbubble, I had a slight mishap with it and managed to get something indelible on the surface of the print. So, what I have on my wall and what I received are not quite the same. Essentially, I have a one of a kind because I put paint brush to canvas and did my own bit of repair. I still don’t know what I foolishly did, but when I first pulled the print out of its well-packaged cocoon it was just fine. The t-shirt is nice. It’s a gift, so I only opened it up long enough to get a little glimpse at it. Nice touches, the sticker that wraps the t-shirt includes nutritional info. type stuff and even lists Pompeii as one of the ingredients (the t-shirt is a scene from Pompeii)! Oh, and in keeping with the theme of food, it included a set of chop sticks. Very happy, especially as a gift. The calendars I received today. By and large, happy, but they are a bit, I don’t know, dark? I have prints of almost all the images I used for this and none of them are as dark as they are on the paper the calendars was done for. The darker areas of the photos are practically black. Anyone else have this experience? There were photos that were quite complimented by this, but some just didn’t look all that hot to me. They’re family gifts for this year, but next year I’d be interested in doing some calendars for sale, so any feedback on what should be expected in the future is appreciated. So, overall happy and impressed. Maybe a tad disappointed in the calendars. I would definitely want to have enough lead time next year to order and preview the results before I offered them for general consumption next year.

  This weekend, it was my daughter’s very first ballet performance (three performances in two days, actually) and I was so much looking forward to photograph her, but we were not allowed to take a single photo… :( (even when the director told me some time ago that I may take photographs during the performance if I will!) / We’ll be able to buy a DVD with photos taken by a professional photographer who was hired by the school but as far as the DVD will be made for TV/PC playing and should contain a video reportage of the whole performance (taking about 1.5h) as well as group portraits and portraits of all of the 290 performers, I’m not really sure whether the photos will be big enough/in reasonable quality to get even a single print of her… Even worse, the DVD will be only available after summer holidays (in September), so we have nothing to show to our grannies who live 1000km far away. I feel so sad and disappointed about it… / On the positive side, she really enjoyed being a part of it, and after all that’s the most important :)

  Today my website gets a good order from Singapore. For around £1300 GBP. But the paypal system lets me down, i guess the buyer didn’t have his cookies set right or something went wrong, but he was unable to pay. Ego i lose a valuable sale. And one i really needed as I’ve invested about £1000 in advertising my site in the last couple of months and really needed a return on it. But while it’s a disappointment, It means my work will sell for the price I have it at and maybe even more and next person who tries will most likely be able to pay using the system and will get sent the paintings they wanted. i just hate letting anyone down or having them have a bad experience while buying anything from me.

  i just recieved mounted prints that i ordered and i am very disappointed with the quality. they were very over priced. they feel like they are worth $5 and i paid $50. they have a finish wich makes them show much glare. they are mounted on garbage. they don’t look terrible on the wall, but i could not send customers to redbubble to buy such inferior workmanship.

  One wonders (at least I do) about the trust issues or the bureaucracy or the plain ‘busy-ness’ of people that they are not able to accept money to help an area that needs it. / / Or perhaps they don’t need it? / / Two weeks ago I contacted the Rebuilding Commission set up to mop up and rebuild after the Black Saturday bushfires. At least I got a response (as I’ve previously mentioned) but still awaiting their advice on whether or not they want Phoenix-Appeal’s profits. I decided not to wait for them to get back to me and I sent out a message to Landcare. I followed up with a phone call to a gent at the Port Phillip & Westernport Catchment Authority who I think has some involvement in Landcare. I was referred to another gent. I left a message on his voicemail. No response. I sent an email … he has at least opened my email because it was receipted … still no response. And yesterday I left yet another message on his voicemail. Guess what? Still no response. Yes, I’m having a whinge. I just don’t understand why the last chap didn’t send a quick emailed response to say the matter is under consideration or something. But nothing! Pretty rude. / / My next step is to see if I can contact a local Landcare Group instead of going through the red tape. Blast it … we are still making a couple of sales every week and currently have about $90 sitting in the account. It’s not a lot of money and maybe it is just so low down on the grand scale of things that we’re at the bottom of the list. / / But hell, I’d rather it was out there doing some good instead of languishing in our account. And it would be nice to be able to tell people exactly where the money will be going and see some results from it. / / So thank you everyone for your patience on this issue. I will continue to pursue it and I’ve asked Redbubble accounts to hang on to our money until I sort this situation out. Hopefully, something positive soon. Anne.

• Time out.

  I’m on a time out. Mommy didn’t put me on one; I put myself on it. I’m trying to cope with bovine defecation from a source familiar to each of us in its own special way. So, I won’t be far away and probably here as often as not. This place offers far too much support, love, and knowledge for me to be sent to stand in the corner without a computer. Odds are I’ll write, shoot and compose: all things I do when deeply troubled to avoid beginning ‘that scream that never ends’. Odds are also good that the results will be wildly inconsistent or just plain dark or maybe both. That means, odds are they will never see the light of day. But they will have served their purposes – to burn this crap from my mind and allow me to live in peace between the ears. It won’t be easy with human scum working like rust to degrade me, discourage me. But I will prevail. I always do. Be well and I’ll return as soon as I’m able. Love to you all. / Lenny La Rue
