  I am going to take a moment to toot my own horn, not something I do on a regular basis. I have just received the final pdf proof for a promotional calendar for 2008 that will be distributed at the University of Missouri and throughout the world to faculty, friends, alumni, and students to increase awareness for wild tiger conservation! The calendar features only photography of yours truly throughout, and so in a sense it is like having a solo gallery show! As many conservation saavy individuals might already know, the tiger in the wild is one of the iconic symbols of endangered species worldwide, numerous organizations have been created to focus on increasing awareness on all of the tiger species worldwide and their precipitous decline towards extinction. All tiger species in the wild are endangered, some more severely than others. Several sub-species have already been lost. You can read more about the first of it’s kind “Tigers 4 Tigers” program started at the University of MIssouri by going here MizzouT4T The two images I I have posted in this message are the opening page of the inside of the calendar as well as the back page of the calendar that talks about me personally and my work. I ask that when you have time you visit the T4T page and read about the program, and if you feel so inclined offer a donation to either T4T, or any other conservation effort, globally or locally, because there is always more that needs to be done to preserve the beauty that exists in the world! Thank you all for listening to me, it is truly an honor to have been a part of this worthy project, and it is exactly the type of conservation effort that weds real on the ground work with the beauty of art that can help stem the tide of the rapid decline of magnificent creatures like the tiger in the wild!

  (Note: The following transcripts were taken from the Red Bubble School of Etiquette’s summer workshop entitled “Troll 101”. – Enjoy!) [Begin transcript.] Attention class! Today we are going to talk about trolls and “trolling”. No, I am not referring to those horrible creatures that dwell under bridges and eat billy goats. No, the trolls I am talking about are not mythological. They are very real and they are among us. YOU could be one of them… Students, the first thing you must be aware of is that trolls may exhibit off-the-wall, abhorrent behavior that would seem, to the majority of us, as mean-spirited, off-the-cuff, and rude. Many trolls have anger issues or issues with ego and pride. You can read this Wikipedia entry for further clarification of classic troll behavior: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_ You can also find more information in this Red Bubble forum thread: http://www.redbubble.com/groups/redbubble/forums/4/topics/19793 As the Wiki states, a classic internet troll is some one who: ...posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion. But now that we have a better grasp of the common, classic troll, let’s put intentions aside, and focus on a more common and vicious threat to our very existence, students. That is right, I am talking about the elusive and very detestable Trollitis Egoramous, commonly referred to as the Ego Troll. Now, the Ego Troll can strike anywhere and at anytime. Beware that this is the most cunning and sly of all trolls, as it hides among us and takes on the ordinary, everyday appearance of an actual good person. These trolls will infest our community without so much as an iota of coldheartedness, until the day when they feel the need to bring us down, tell us like it is, and leave us withered and betrayed by the very people whom we’ve grown to admire. You, yourself, may even be an Ego Troll and not even know it! So, now students, can anyone tell me some signs that could possibly point to you or someone you know being an Ego Troll? Let’s all turn to page 222 and follow along as I read from the text: If you have done any of the following things, you may be an Ego Troll: Tell someone that they have grammatical problems in their short story? You troll!!!!! Tell someone that their composition could be a little better? YOU troll!!!!! Tell someone that their story confused you and maybe they should consider editing it a bit? You T-R-O-L-L!!!!!! Tell someone that their piece looks like…gasp!...a “snap shot”? You filthy troll!!! Tell someone that they could have been a bit more professional in their forum post? You good-for-nothing troll! Tell someone that you are not a fan of their design because it looked rushed. You lousy TROLL!!!!! Tell someone that you artwork is NOT porn but rather an artistic nude? Ugh, you troll bastard! TROLL! TROLL! TROLL! Now students, if you turn to page 716, you will find a brief example of troll-like behavior taken from one of our very own Bubble forums. Please, take a minute to read this excerpt silently to yourself… I am an overly blunt person and have been called a troll, even though what I said was (A) the truth and (B) constructive. Some people just do not like to be told anything because of inflated egos, pride, or for whatever reason that stems from their childhood. And, these people will take this definition of “troll” blow it out of proportion and use it against any person who happens to have an opinion different than thier own! I have seen it happen so many times to myself and others…who are, believe it or not, actually decent and loving people. I mean, it seems like a freakin’ troll hunt and any one who does not agree with everyone else and tell everyone else that their work is beautiful…omg! so cute…wow…amazing…you rock!... and that their forum posts are spot on…and that we agree…totally…omg, for sure… is tied to the stake and burned! Move over Salem, cause there is a new form of witch hunt abounding right here on the Bubble! Oh, and don’t disagree with anyone or have an opinion. Don’t post adult themed content – that is not art! Don’t talk about things no one else wants to talk about because it bruises their precious egos! Notice the ego maniacal approach here. Notice how the ego troll uses sarcasm, metaphor, and brutal honesty to make others feel wrong in their summations. Also notice how this troll uses terms like “truth” and “constructive” to mask its hidden agenda! Also evident here is the troll’s use of mocking and misogynistic undertones to cut down the opinions of those who may not feel the need to be so opinionated about such things. The identity of this particular troll is unknown, but, as you can see, students, you must be very cautious in your everyday dealings within the Bubble or you may one day become an Ego Troll. Just do what is expected of you and follow some of the core guidelines for Non-Troll Behavior that are outlined in your text and that I have taken the liberty of writing on the chalkboard. Let’s us now take a few minutes to commit these guidelines to memory. Guidelines to NOT be a troll: 1. Have no personal opinion. Just say what you think they want to hear. And, make sure it is all over-the-rainbow-nice! 2. Make sure the work you submit is rated R or less… none of this NC-17 or Rated X crap! That is not art…that is smut! Remember, even with an R Rating, you will be pushing the envelope. 3. Offer no constructive criticism. Constructive criticism is for workshops, college classrooms, and other websites that choose to belittle artists and writers and not put them on pedestals to worship…where they belong. Constructive criticism leads to the slitting of wrists and other body parts – remember that! 4. Join in on forum topics that have to do with movies from the 80’s, ice cream, puppy dogs, concerts, chocolate, and how much we love each other and each others’ work and how much we are all super-duper artists and writers! 5. Steer clear from taking part in forum threads that deal with anything about art, writing, society, politics, religion, and other themes that could lead to two adults firmly citing their opinions and debating the topic. Any forum thread having to do with why we are all really here should be avoided at all costs! 6. Wherever you go…BOOST egos! That is the best service we can all do for this community on a daily basis! Who cares if the photo is amateur, the story riddled with grammatical errors, the poem chliche, or that the art’s composition could be helped? These things may matter in the outside, real world, but not here in the Bubble where things are all roses and happy thoughts and fluffy-bunny-feelings. 7. Be sure to use and re-use words such as “wow”, “excellent”, “amazing”, “breathtaking”, and (my personal favorite) “awesome” when commenting on works in lieu of forthright and honest opinions, which may, in the long run, help the artist or writer. Use these words often and in abundance and you will surely be liked and voted for in challenges and competitions even if your art/writing is substandard at best. Remember, students, to NOT be a TROLL, takes patience, understanding, and marshmallow-y goodness. So, get out there and show them s’more love (well, except for the trolls, you can hate them because we all do because they are vile and disgusting and should be banished from the Bubble)! And, always be sure to call anyone who exhibits the behaviors of a troll a “Troll”, because that is what they are (by definition) and so that is what they need to be called. And, no, don’t worry calling someone a “Troll” does not make you a troll yourself because that person deserves it. Any further questions, my wonderfully talented pupils? No? Good. Class dismissed.

  Ok, I’m being a bit indulgent here. This has nothing to do with art or photography except for the fact that my horse, Mouse, has always been my favorite subject/model. We had our first show yesterday. I was both excited and nervous about how my wild child would behave around all of those people. We were showing not in saddle but at halter and showmanship. For those of you who haven’t done this, it is harder than it looks. The horse has to respond to your cues immediately and the judging is very strict and specific. We had only been practicing for three days but Mouse was learning her lessons almost immediately! She trotted on the word and after just a few times with me showing her what I wanted ( you aren’t allowed to touch the horse in the arena) she would set up her feet on the word as well. I was worried about the pivot because our trainer/instructor, Brandy, had not intended for us to do showmanship and so hadn’t worked with us on that until Friday afternoon. Well, we placed second in our first class, Halter Mare. This class is judge mainly on the mare and her conformation but it is enhanced by how you handle and show her. So, I expect a first on this next time-ha. The second class was Showmanship. I was so nervous that I totally messed up. Mouse, who turns out to have a very competitive side, didn’t seem very pleased with me-ha. Third class was Novice Showmanship which we certainly fit into. After the class and before the places were announced, the judge walked over and told me that she wanted to see my horse. She took her from me and shockingly(!), Mouse went with her. She used Mouse to demonstrate to all of us how the pattern and class were suppose to be done. Then she announced that we’d won FIRST PLACE!!! Afterwards, she pulled me aside and told me that I needed to relax because Mouse was just wonderful and knew what she was doing. She also told me that Mouse had more Showmanship potential than any horse she’d ever seen!! That’s when I told her that we’d only been doing this for three days and this was both my and Mouse’s first show. She couldn’t believe me. She and the other two women standing there, all told me that surely the man from whom I bought Mouse must have shown her. I told them that I was certain that he hadn’t but no one believes that she could learn as quickly as she has. I was so proud of her and complete strangers kept coming up congratulating me and telling me how beautiful she is:)...I was pleased but Mouse of course already knew this-ha. Then, Brandy talked me into competing in the Trail In-Hand class. I was so scared since it is out in an open, unfenced area and yesterday’s course was the most complicated and difficult that I’ve ever seen since I’ve been doing the show photography there. Well, she was perfect and…..WE WON THE CLASS!!! Yes, that blue ribbon means the world to me and not only did we get more congratulations from both friends and strangers but Betsy sent the ribbon girls all the way out to the trail course to bring my ribbon to me. I was over the moon but Mouse took it all in diva stride as if asking me, “What did you expect but perfection from me?” ha…happy,happy:) ~Sande

  It came just yesterday (packed awesomely) and man is it sweet. I had no real idea as to the quality of the Redbubble printing/mounting/post-production process but now I must say with great confidence that Redbubble do a friggin amazing job! I vainly ordered one of my own prints (Pride the Sin [The Red Edition]) , curious to see how my work would look published and the detail is incredible. I did upload a very high res file but was still happily surprised all the same. I now have to order a tee and see how they come out, thanks Red Bubble!

  The idea for this piece came to me as I stared at a full bottle of injectible lidocaine that had been sitting in my medicine cabinet for months. Everytime I saw it, I wanted to do something with it…the first idea I had was to affix two syringes filled with red food color onto the back, crossbones style and redo the label to say “poison”. This idea never saw the light of day due to the fact that it seemed so basic. I felt there was not enough thought behind it because I was sure i’d seen it before on a painting or something of that nature. So my next idea was that it would remain with syringes but the label was going to say “Meth” and having a warning label (this idea may see the light of day yet, I really think people need to understand that meth is so very dangerous, it eats your soul, this is not to say I have anything against those who take it, I can fully understand the lure and chokehold that it has apon it’s users. To be free of it is akin to being reborn) After a lot of thought something just hit me. Being an addict is a very selfish thing. It is to some considered a sin and it directly correlates with the deadliest of the seven deadly sins, this being pride. In the case of it being a sin pride is overexaggerated, it includes the love of onesself over and above anything else. Thus the idea of Hubris cosmetic was born. Hubris a Greek word meaning excessive pride. I should also state that I have nothing against people who use Botox. I would use it if I felt it neccessary and had the cash. I was born a sinner and will die a sinner. I wanted to create something that would make one ponder and think or might see as “clever”. I hope this piece does just that!

  An Australia sports man goes to a interneational sportting avent. He has worked hard for many years to me here. He is a sprinter. over the 100m`s. as he gets ready to start the race his heart beats hard. His hands a tremberling. Then he see an Australia flag waving in the air and that makes his eyes fill with water. sounds like a normal story of pride, but whats wrone with it!.....there is a deep problem with the way he is acting. If you were to change the word of Australian to blue eyed person. it makes no sence…. / why would a blue eyed man care if he has blue eyes when it comes to running. and why would others care if he has the same colour eyes as them or not? This is my point. the idea of pride in ones own place of birth is a VERY new idea. / just go back in time about 1000 yeas and you will find there was no customs people nor visas like now. This type of thinking was the main tool in getting the idea of US and THEM to drive us to war. Used by govermants all over the world. So I say just cos you have blue eyes means about as much as where you were born. FUCK ALL!

  Photography is tricky isn’t it. You take a shot that you think “Yeah, I like that, it looks good, sharp, clear, dof is good, colour is good, yeah, it’s good enough for Red Bubble” so you upload it. / Then you go check out someone’s portfolio like Shane Walker’s and you crash back to earth with a thud, your pride shattered when faced with talent like that. I’m in awe at shots like his and the many other wonderful artists on the bubble and can only dream that I might get that good one day. / So, although I am humbled today, I am not discouraged; more encouraged that shots like that might be within my reach now that I have a DSLR camera just waiting for a nice lens to help me along (not to mention hours and hours of practice) LOL Thanks for being here to encourage me, and others like me, Red Bubble!

  What a beautiful, eve for An Exhbit of Pride. The eve, of the show, I managed, to leave work early, actually beat rush hour & even arrive early. I was greeted, with familiar faces & new faces. Enjoying, food, live entertainment and engaging in connections & discussions of art, life, and more. I was swept, away and met the judges of the show, who complimented on my work, introduced me to even more people & then informed me they want me to take pride photos for them! Then, within an hour of opening having my entry: “Budda Latte” sell. Then later, in the eve, selling another print. However, the biggest highlight was, when the former host of the exhibit informed me he still retained a piece of my artwork from three years ago. It was a photograph, of an ex, showing just the back and rose petals in a tub. He, stated the piece was just, so touching to him he never deleted it. The photo was, only the sample piece for obtaining enty into the show. However, it touched him that much. I think that, is simply the most, amazing moment in my photography career.
