The group show being put together opening the holiday weekend in San Francisco, California at the “Back to the Picture, The Latin American Gallery”, in May/2014 is about Water.  Currently artists are being invited, letters are being sent and yesterday the photographs for the postcard which always shows “me and my dog” was being shot out at Ocean Beach, San Francisco, California, USA. Nick on the wall, with Golden Gate Park at his back theatrically improvising his Love Dogs Talk. Maxine Kraemer, Assistant Curator for the Water Show was also the photographer for this shoot which included our own actor, Nick. It happens that there is a Big Corporate Woman’s Run, happening this weekend October 19th or 20th, 2013 with part of it being on The Ocean(s) Highway, with tents set up in the parking lot, next to the beach, in the outer Richmond District of San Francisco. Pacific Ocean San Francisco, California USA living and beautiful Pacific Ocean alive and beautifully powerful Surfers at the Pacific Ocean, Ocean Beach on a lovely day. This  just happened to be the day we had chosen for our photo shoot. Nick was a great theater person and added much to the importance and humor of our artful mission, to get the perfect picture for our collaborative postcard. Maxine Kraemer has a great eye so it took little time to get our perfect image. We hung out for a bit after the shoot, sipped our water, watched the surfers at the Pacific Ocean, Ocean Beach, breathing in the negative ions on a beautiful, sunny and breezy day. The Postcard will be something we work on together late into this process Nick seeing us off after our photo shoot

I am urged on to write by Emil; someone who ‘felt’ then ‘wrote’ and gave me feedback about my blog after reading ‘Timeliness’, in the Family/Mom category.

Feedback or influence, is part of my process. I am thrilled to get Emil’s comment. It’s difficult to give constructive feedback, but he did and I am influenced.

So Emil, I will add film and video to my blog in the coming months, maybe weeks, even though ‘my time is not my own’.
