those are great photos, esp the HOT one of matildakay! i almost feel like i was there with you.
I agree with Chingpea on the MatildaKay picture. Love photos like that.
I also hope Kristin Godsey gets a
copy of her picture. I think it is
amazing... I wonder what she was thinking about. She looks so peaceful and yet
so intense.
Thanks for taking me along on this
weekend excursion,I had a great time and the fruit at the Tenaya
Lodge was delectable....
Great photos! You captured some of my favorite moments of the writers conference...
Can't wait to see the rest of the photos!
Chingpea and Julie Jordan Scott, you all are too kind...
Maybe Kristin was just thinking, "I want pizza..." But I doubt it. There were a lot of light moments and thinking moments at the conference.
Writers and editors are deep thinkers. It's what we do.
I love the picture of the shoes. Just because it reminds me of myself at my work desk. I always take my shoes off while at work. Don't worry, my flinstone feet are hidden under my huge three sided desk. Heels are overrated.ugh.
My second favorite is Malcolm setting up his table. Isn't Skin Tax by T.Z.Hernandez published by Heyday? Or am I confused? I wonder if that book was on his table?
Skin Tax was on the table. During one of our delightful dinners, Malcolm and I spoke about TZ Hernandez and the wonderful poetic energy he exudes... Such storytelling led to other discussions about poets and artists, including Native American artists and poetry and how Malcolm helped to record nearly lost poetic chants by old timers...
He gave them tape recorders and they would go about their day, trying to remember such poetic birdsongs from their youth. They could even be inspired in a grocery store, reminded of a nearly lost past, just from seeing a peach in a produce aisle.
Amazing photos. You really captured the vibe of the Yosemite Writer's Conference. My favorite is the 'Kill your darlings.'
Nick ...
More great pictures. These make me feel like we are still there.
As for the stinky shoes ... any chance I know who these belong to ... they wouldn't be Bonnie's would they? Oops. I shouldn't have said that outloud. Yikes!
No comment (cough).
