Hai-Kuul – May 12, 2005

Once A Day (Requested by Theresa Warrior Princess)
Wake up in the morn
Have a shower and get dressed
Take your vitamins

Soft and so fuzzy
A throwback to your childhood
That silly old bear


Pearl (Requested by Theresa Warrior Princess)
Oysters: So funny
Creating beauty out of
An irritation


If I Was a Rich Girl (Requested by St-Martini-of-the-Vodka)

I’d have an ample bosom
That sounds about right


American Chopsy (Requested by Princess Castle)

Second word: Some British Slang
Merged: A stir-fry dish

One and add one more

A dog had a long black and
Rat-like tail. The end.

Not for any deep reasons
Infatuation

He had too much to drink and
Now has a headache

Add a lot of water and

Her favourite song

A wonderful treat
To sprinkle on top of a
Nice cup of egg nog


Rich Beyond All Recognition (Requested by Dave)
He had so much cash
And he gained so much fame that
All forgot his face


Roy? ROY?!? (Requested by Dave)
Fixing the aircraft
I went to school with that man
A long time ago

Sizing up the crowd, and then

I’ll Show You Some Funny Things About Generous People On Mother’s Day

I’ll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours

Lets see how many hits I get with that line from Google and Yahoo.

The Contact opening in the Junction has come and gone, and it was a success!

It was admittedly a lot of work to prep for this exhibition. Not only the printing, framing and setting up, but also the food preparation and such. My wife did a fair bit of running around to get groceries for me (which I thank her for!).

I’ve never really done an opening on my own for an exhibition before, so I wasn’t really prepared for how many people were coming. I figured that I would entice my friends with the promise of my chocolate chip banana bread (which always works). As usual, they didn’t disappoint. Pretty much all of the friends I had invited arrived at some point or another during the evening.

What did surprise me was the number of people I didn’t know. These people were very kind with their compliments and time, and some even offered advice and encouragement. It was a very warming evening for me.

My warmest thanks to everyone that attended. It’s because of you that I am what I am, all of you.

Hopefully that is a good thing, otherwise the world blames you for my craziness.



People Are Generous

I’ve sold two photographs so far, which is very encouraging. Contrary to what some people believe, it’s not always about the money.

However, I think an artist is a liar if they say that they are not happy when they receive money.

Ultimately, it’s about balance. I think it’s nice to be able to break even on cost, which can be deceptive at times.

I applaud people that support artists. It is because of these folks that artistic expression will never stop. Without art, the world becomes a boring place. Imagine television with nothing but plain documentaries. They can be informative and well filmed, but I know that if I had to watch them all the time I would go nuts. Variety is the spice of life.



Funny Things People Said

Here are some things that I heard, or that people said during the show…


Excuse me, do you cater often? (Said to me, as I was setting up the food)

What kind of film did you use to take that? (Asked jokingly by a friend regarding a blockish painting on the wall opposite my photos)

I love the banana bread! Oh, and the photos are pretty good, too!

You certainly know your photos! (Said by a lady who asked what time of the year a photo was taken, and in my frazzled state I responded with the approximate date and time)



Happy Mother’s Day!

A belated Happy Mother’s Day to all of my friends and relatives that are moms. I tend not to post on the weekend, because for some reason my formatting gets all jumbled up.
