I Don’t Have To Find Out

This week, I received notice that I have been nominated for an Avi Choice Award for the Arts in the category Favorite Photographer/Photo Studio. I can say I was shocked to receive another nomination, but at the same time I was touched and pleased. I honestly hadn’t realised the awards were coming around until a couple of weeks ago when Cheri messaged me to let me know she had nominated me. She suggested that I ask for nominations on my blog, but that just isn’t my style. The nomination is, to me, the real honour; I wouldn’t feel right about asking people to put my name forward. The fact that more than one person chose to nominate me without prompting lets me know that what I do here is appreciated.

That said, now that I have been nominated, I will humbly ask for your vote. All you need to do is to click on the image below or in my sidebar, scroll to the Favorite Photographer/Photo Studio category, click the button next to my name and then press the Vote button. While you are there, please peruse the other entries; there are loads of very talented people listed in the Arts categories. I don’t know a lot of them, in fact, I wasn’t even familiar with several of the categories, but there were even more to which I was happy to give my support.

I feel honoured to be asking for your support. I probably wouldn’t continue taking photographs without the encouragement I receive.

Or maybe I would. I’m just glad I don’t have to find out.

Save My Seat

1 Save My Seat sm

It’s a common problem for a pet owner. You get up to grab a drink and come back to your furry friend curled up on your seat. If you have a dog, he will probably look at you with sad eyes, tail thumping slowly, hoping you don’t displace him. For cat owners, you know well that glare that says, “What? It’s full of warm. Go find another place to sit, Human.”

My darling little puss has this look down cold. She is usually only willing to give up her spot in exchange for a brushing. She normally wins.

Do make sure to check the shopping list today. There are TONS of goodies from several events to drool over. I do want to draw your attention to the desk set and accessories from .tree at Wayward Winter. You are most likely familiar with Karla Marama’s work as the designer of Pr!tty (store currently closed for remodeling). Karla has undertaken creating “trinkets and furniture” under the brand .tree . While she hasn’t yet opened a store in Second Life under this brand, you can find her lovingly crafted treasures exclusively at Wayward Winter. Each one is created with attention to detail, care and amazing quality. You don’t want to miss out on this chance to snatch up her work.

I’m heading over myself in a few minutes…save my seat.
