Wooden MIrror Reflections

At the Children’s Museum in October when the Grandkids were in Pittsburgh for a visit-

Yes, a WOODEN mirror. It was amazing. Interactive art.

Granddaugher Anna and

Me and my camera reflected in the wooden mirror below.

Created by Artist Daniel Rozin who is also a professor at NYU.

“Daniel Rozin is an artist, educator and developer, working in the area of interactive digital art. As an interactive artist Rozin creates installations and sculptures that have the unique ability to change and respond to the presence and point of view of the viewer. In many cases the viewer becomes the contents of the piece and in others the viewer is invited to take an active role in the creation of the piece.” – from his website

Colorado Morning Serenity-Guest Blog

My Floridian friend Kristin is braving the elements and skiing in Colorado.

This is the view upon awakening. She emailed it to me this morning.

I thought it fit in nicely with the theme of the week- serenity.

Thanks Kristin. Was the world muffled?

(Almost looks like a black and white photo)

Theme for my week- Serenity

Once you start looking for photographs in your archives that say “serenity”

-you think of more and you’re seeking the ones that make you feel calm and peaceful inside, just to look at them.

So you just go with it, like a raft on a gentle ocean wave.

Brooklyn Museum First Night in December

My sister and I went to the Brooklyn Museum First Night in December. (sponsored by TARGET, Stef)

When we were making our purchases in the gift shop, I saw the stacks of books Nails: The Story of the Modern Manicure and author Suzanne Shapiro graciously signing copies for people in line.

(Read July 2014 Inside the Archive interview with the Ms. Shapiro, click this link)

Love how her top matches the book cover

Great Lakes Girls by Teri Greeves, Native American Artist -on the 5th floor,~~not the Killer Heels exhibit~~

“Teri Greeves created this piece by hand-sewing beads, Swarovski crystals, silver conchos, and spiny-oyster shell cabochons on a pair of high-heeled tennis shoes designed by Steve Madden. The inner panels are inspired by Great Lakes tribes’ floral designs”

Many Dog People Favor Certain Breeds and Others Like a Mix

This is Brooke, a Dachshund Rescue. I saw her in a basket in the Waterworkds Shopping Center at the PetCo a few years back and I knew my friend’s daughter wanted a dachshund. It was a lucky day.

She belongs to Molly now. You can see how Brooke loves “her person”.

I know some of my cousins favor dachshunds and Mary in New Jersey loves them.

Molly’s family always has liked this breed. I saw a crazy video of dachshunds on a Sausage Dogs Central Post on FB just last week.

Now my DIL and her family love Airedales. Jaclyn has her St. Bernards. One type of dog I don’t see around here is an Irish Setter. Be it Border Collies or Italian Greyhounds, German Shepherds or a Pug or you name it. People who are dog people may have a strong preference. ( Rob, I know what your preference is! NO DOG)

Some families like to get a mixed breed rescue (we used to call them mutts but maybe that isn’t the term now) from an animal shelter.

I usually keep the blog in “real time” but the rose colored couch is highlighted again this week.

BTW there are “339 listed breeds in 10 groups” and if you want to check out that info it is here

It looks like she is smiling to me

Love.

One of the first images I captured with the new mirrorless camera when I was out in Ohio with the family for Christmas.

Granddaughter Anna with the reflected light from an iPad, no other light.
