i'm reluctant to search out shows to enter and such. it used to be fun and the recognition was good but as we mature, i think our priorities change. i'm more interested in turning out a superior product for myself now. and it's fun to see the younger ones getting out there.

i'm in agreement with you. i shudder to think of doing a lot of that again........xoxoxo pat

p.s. recently a man recognized my name and said that he had seen four of my photographs (from a private collection) in a museum......that was a rush and the best part was the way he got all giggly and "starstruck".....

he described each photo to me in painstaking detail. he got so carried away that i was tempted to remind him that i had seen them.
