Artist's block . . .

Artistically, I'm stuck. I know it seems I'm always creating, and I've made a huge body of work, but every once in a while it all seems to slam into a wall. Everything appears uninspired.

I keep on, however, trying to break through and make something different. Something good. 

But mostly it's all just crap.
Like these pictures.

Eventually it will pass and all will be well. But right now? Nope! As you can see. (But I do believe there are possibilities with the sea lion . . .)

Oregon coast workshop began today ...

Our Oregon Coast photo workshop began this morning and, as luck would have it, it was SUNNY! Good reflections, though, up at the fishing boats. And there were PLENTY of sea lions to photograph. Great group of people, with Jill M., June W., and Gisela D. from North Carolina, Anne and Roy A. from southern California, Pat F. from San Diego and Betty F. from Fortuna. Taking a quick break right now, meeting again in 10 minutes. How lucky am I that this is my job?! ©Carol Leigh

Counting down ...

We've got a photo workshop beginning here on the coast Sunday and so naturally I had to go out to make sure that the sea lions were still out in force and that boats were still doing their thing ... work, work, work! ©Carol Leigh
