  Come one, come all, I’m having my first solo exhibition, opening night August 1st. I’m going to be there on opening night, so if you want to meet the crazy old lady with the camera, feel free to come up and say gidday.

There’ll be something for everyone, and prices won’t be very high at all….seriously! Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments and best wishes!! August 1 – 14 / Brunswick St Gallery / 322 Brunswick St, Fitzroy 3065 / ph 0419 390 478 / Hours: Wed-Thur 12 – 4 pm, Friday – Sunday 11am – 6pm

  Well I finally have done what I have been wanting to do for a long time. I purchased a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTI 10.1 MP. I have been wanting a full Digital SLR camera for a very long time. It is my very first one.

Sorry to say I have not bought the IR filter yet. / Also on Friday I am beginning my first class as a member of / The Cleveland Photographic Society Its a class that meets every week for learning and competitions. / Also do field trips. I would like to thank everyone on this site for inspiring me to get more involved with Photography.

  It’s a little disheartening after spending a week on an image to have so few people actually look at it. 40 views in three days, and most of them from me. I think most of those that did look at it have commented and I appreciate that but then I see something apparently whipped up in half an hour in Poser with a gazillion comments and favs. It seems pointless even bothering when you’re not willing to pimp your stuff in the forums. It used to be so good here, I was so inspired. Admittedly I was spoilt by having a few things featured but that’s very rare now, and never with anything new. I can’t even find any groups where my work would really belong. The new content guidelines was just icing on the cake.

  I actually won a competition I entered…YAY Lake Macquarie City Council held a photographic competition entitled “Our Coast, Our Stories”. I entered 3 pictures and won 2 prizes. There were 3 judges who had about 120yrs of photographic experience between them so I was really chuffed to think that they liked my pictures. I came second in the “People on the Coast” section with this image of Redhead Beach and I won the “Monochrome” section with this one I got 400 6×4 prints an 8×10 print 2 certificates and a photographic book of coastal marine life. The pictures now go on tour throughout the region being displayed in libraries. There were pictures taken for the paper and websites and a tv crew also turned up and filmed the winning pics. So YIPEE…

• A first - a new book!!

  I’m excited – and a little nervous too – to announce that my first book, “Songs of the Heart’s Longing” is in print and ready at Blurb publishing! I honestly never expected to write one at all but with the encouragement of so many wonderful friends here at RB, I have done it after all! I’m just a little proud of it too and I’d love to share it with you. Like other artistic efforts, books are not inexpensive, however, and I know it’s a bit of an extravagance to purchase one. That doesn’t mean I won’t be THRILLED if you do!! Shipping costs from publishers ARE rather pricey, I’m afraid, so for friends in the US only who would like a copy for $23, I’ll pick up the shipping costs if you order it directly from me. If you bubble mail me your interest, I’ll send you my address and we can make arrangements for you to get your copy. For my very dear friends in other parts of the globe, if you would like one, you can purchase it from the Blurb bookstore – Songs of the Heart’s Longing Whether you do or don’t, my heart is just filled with the deepest gratitude for all of you who have become real friends and who have helped me to believe in myself, to believe that I have something to say worth reading, Thank you for being the most wonderful, talented, amazing and loving group of people I’ve ever met! Much love, / Lianne

  Great week; having my first exhibition with graphic artist, Marion Chastelas – she does mixed media collages. Opening night rocked. Sold Top Ten Favourite Men , For All Ages and Brokeback Mansion which wasn’t in the exhibition but goodo. Marion entertained us with her original songs and one of the guys from her band and my children behaved beautifully :) It’s open daily from 10am to 4pm on Sunday. I’m doing the 10 -1pm shift and some forced study. And a bit of dvd watching. Friends are great., especially the ones with portable dvd players. The photo’s are a bit cruddy as I was shy, yes shy, but you get the jist :)

  i want to first give marianne a HUGE thanks and Hug for wanting this print and asking me to upload to buy it, im so honored and speechless at the same time. to have another photographer that you admire and adore, to want to buy Your work..wow the feeling cant be put into words. / so i have to ask the people that read this, exactly how do you handle selling your work when you know who the buyer is? / for me..each time my work sells to someone i know, i feel like i should say more then just ..thanks i still close up when i know the person buying my work, even here locally my chief with the fire dept and his wife, are starting up a collection of my work in their home. / i find myself…shy!! believe it or not! LOL / i have realized tho..i dont ever want to lose that humbleness (that a word? is now) of someone thinking my photography is good enough to hang in their home, or give as a gift, who knows..maybe they know im very humbled at the fact they want my work? so Marianne…Thank You so much!! for the faith you have always had in me, for supporting me, for helping me with my photography, by putting better equipment in my hands, for being one of the bestest people that has ever come into my life. you will always be an angel in my eyes…thank you this is what she bought

• Shirtheads - featuring sparklehen
  by caanan

  A picture tells a thousand words / as do these tshirts !http://images-3.redbubble.com/img/clothing/bodycolor:teal/size:small/style:wome…

  A picture tells a thousand words / as do these tshirts by sparklehen Open yourselves to a little illumination this week, as we gather some more thoughts from sparklehen – take it away ‘Sparky’! ;o) Any first date experiences you can share with us? Disastrous or no? When I first started dating I seemed to be asked out by “bad boys ” which some girls might be attracted to, but I was really a goodie two shoes….. / Wait a minute, I think I might be getting mixed up with the storyline from Grease! No, I really can’t think of any disastrous first dates, but my mind would wander (really badly!) if the conversation wasn’t going well or they didn’t make me laugh. Hence this series, but I wanted Jane and Keith to actually like each other. It would have been a cheap shot for Jane to be nasty about Keith (Or maybe I’m subliminaly trying to correct my past!) I just have to state that my first date with my husband was obviously very successful and there was no mind wandering going on what so ever! What are some everyday random thoughts you’ve never vocalised before but can share with us now? Hmmm, I suppose swearing, I love swearing in my head. Oh yes, I can say what I like to whom I like. You see I have two pre-school aged boys, I have to watch what I say now. Thing is I didn’t swear very much before having children. I think it’s when you are forbidden to do something the temptation becomes greater! Who do you think should be put into a locked room together and not let out until they’re the best of friends? I could easily say certain political leaders for obvious reasons. Instead I’m going to say my head and my guts (ok I know that’s a what not a who, please bare with me) But they are in conflict an awful lot, and I’m fed up with being indecisive. We all know to go with your “gut feeling” but to be honest I sometimes don’t know which is which. I’m becoming a ditherer. Any advice on how to tune in on my digestive tract is welcome! What’s your favouritest tshirt you’ve ever worn? This is a tough question, because you’re asking me to choose and you have all just found out how bad I am at making decisions! (10 minutes later) Ok I’m back. Based on the number of times they have been washed. My favouritest tee is Dendoo’s So Not Sophisticated however, I’m due to buy another RB Tee so I’m afraid that will be my next new best tee. What do you remember most from your childhood? Why? I was watching a programme about diets through the different ages and last night’s one was about the 1970’s. I was born in 1974 so I do remember some of it. It’s hard to pin it down to one thing, as your childhood is made up of so many things good and bad. Sweeties (Lollies or Candy) being one of them. / There seemed to be a lot of fizzy stuff around like sherbet dabs, flying saucers refreshers and wham bars. Sorry to be uncouth, but I could empty a room eating all that stuff. All those chemicals must have really upset my insides something awful! What are the most important lessons children need to learn ASAP? As a mother this is something I ask myself a lot, and of course the answer changes a lot. We need to teach our children to be positive, and approach life and all its challenges with a positive outlook. All I see in the media is doom and gloom and I sometimes despair and wonder what kind of world I have brought my children into. However this is not helpful or constructive to think this way, so a more positive attitude has to be adopted or what’s the point in going on? Each generation has had to face adversity in one form or another, obviously some worse (a lot worse) than others, but we are still here! If you were Prime Minister for a day, what new law would you create and how would it be enforced? I would ban all celebrity gossip magazines. I know it would be an unpopular law. I have found myself, on occasion, reading them and getting sucked in. When I have finished I feel absolutely filthy, and promise never to indulge or encourage this dirty and evil pastime again, until the next time! So they would all be taken off the shelves and Doctors waiting rooms tables, easy! What would you like to happen every day for the rest of your life? I want to be able to laugh everyday for the rest of my life, even on my death bed. See the humour in everything! Because laughing (I’m talking about a hearty belly laugh that leaves your sides and jaw aching) is so much better than moaning and it means you’re fearless! What are some inspirational things you’ve seen in ‘08 thus far? Well it’s more like inspirational people. I’ve come across a few this year. / My sons are my biggest inspiration, their innocence, the way they ask questions all the time and the way they use their imaginations are wonderful! This year I have come across some, actually many, amazing artists. Karin Taylor her joyful, colourful and energetic characters always make me feel happy. Jemimalovesbigted and talianadesign create the most funky and sunny retro patterns. Not forgetting purelydecorative who does the most beautiful vintage inspired collages. How did you find the Bubble? What made you stick around? It was purely by accident, just browsing really, and I thought that I would give it a try. I never thought for one minute people would be interested let alone buy my t-shirts. I’ve stuck around because of the above mentioned artists (of course they are but a few who are inspirational and wonderful) You can easily spend hours being awe inspired; This is a fantastic place to be! I would like to thank everyone who has looked at my work and thought it was worth commenting on, favouriting and buying. But not forgetting Caanan for his fantastic creations, I’m honoured! And thank YOU, Sparky!
