A Little Crazy

I returned to the Alameda Antique Market today and got back into my art. Let's just say I've been on a bit of a break with family issues and an extraordinarily busy work schedule. This market was different in what I found and how I proceeded with taking shots. Several of the lessons my profs had drilled into suddenly seemed to kick in and I found myself shooting around 2 or 3 themes. One of them was doll/mannequins. It amazes me what you can find. This broken doll was lying in an bag in a sense abandoned and ignored and the social worker/philosopher in me went to work. It brought to mind some of the negative news that we seem so bombarded with these days.

It was a wonderful day. We ate fresh food, while sitting on a curb by the ocean, talked life and shared laughter with people we were sitting with. Not a bad return to life.

Here's some thoughts from Seal about some the things we've been experiencing, "Crazy":
