the Cat Drawing Guy is kind
Thanks to Steve, the "CatDrawingGuy" that I first became aware of on #ABC #SharkTank show. He was so funny and I knew he was a kindred spirit when his presentation included a very quirky dance move. Anyways, time passes and we become twitter and facebook friends. Well a few nights ago, Steve was traveling on the train, bored and sent out request to followers for suggestions for cats, because that's what he does. He draws although doodles would be more accurate perhaps, cats. Yes, cats, cats of all kinds doing all sorts of weird requested things.
I tweeted a request for a nurse cat, and lo and behold.....
I now have a very special gift for Mom this Mother's Day. She has been very ill resulting in frequent extended hospital stays and we are in the midst of one of those hospital stays now. She is a retired RN, so I know this will be great "Art" therapy for her and the other nurses providing her care.

light bending goddess
...photography gives me super powers. behind a camera lens, my power comes to life. i can freeze time. go back in time. capture memories. evoke memories. expose + manipulate small portions of a subject’s universe. spotlight the rarely seen + reveal the unseen. yes, behind the lens i am all powerful. i am all seeing. with my camera i’m transformed. i become. i’m. i am a light bending goddess…i use my powers for good. creative joy. i am the creator + director + producer
of my very own “light drama”.in the shadows of my shutter creative worlds collide.
the world of nature.
the fashion world.
i span generations.
unit friends + family
a photojournalist.
i am a historian.
a curator. i am
a digital collage artist.
a photography maven.
i find this inexplicable joy
when i…
capture a butterfly’s landing
review shots from my daily activities + surroundings
i discover so many surprising awe inspiring detailsthat escaped my natural eye at first gaze
drunk on the nectar of it's “creative haze”
that my camera makes possible.
my camera gives me light-bending power...
READY
smile
