What Inspires You?

Did you ever ask yourself this question?  Try it and begin an endless process of learning about yourself, and why and where you are in life at this moment in time.  After we return from Israel in April, I will post some thoughts about what inspires me.  Maybe those thoughts will give you a chance to reflect upon your own ideas.  Good Luck!

It's in their hands now!

This past Thursday, I sent all of the necessary submissions to Xlibris to begin the editing process of my eighth book.  By the time editing and proofing is done I will guess the book should be published by the end of May.  Its title is:  "Blackest of Fridays."  When I am in Israel for a month, I will begin working on its sequel.

Wow! At the open house for our photography group this happened.

Our full photography group displayed a new viewing of their photographs on the lower level of the Hooksett NH Library.  We held an open house.  While I didn't submit a photograph for display this go around, I displayed eleven photographs on the main floor of the library as its featured photographer.  I am so pleased about the comments made by my fellow photographers and those visiting the library.  One was even a member of the library board of trustees and she was fascinated that I am also an author and took down the names of my books.  My exhibit will be up for a couple of months and this has taken my interest in photography to a new level.

It's up for a couple of months

My featured photographer exhibit went up yesterday afternoon on the main floor of the Hooksett NH library.  It will run for a couple of months.  Thanks to my partner photographer Nina Rados who helped me get the eleven framed photographs on the wall.  This is my first big photography exhibit.

A week from today

A week from today, I will set up my first exhibit as a photographer.  A picture will illustrate our trip through the Canadian Rockies.  Watch for it and let me know what you think.  Joe

My first photography exhibit as a featured photographer

Coming soon is my opportunity to exhibit eleven of my photographs of a trip my wife and I took last June.  The area of the pictures will be 50" x 52".  There will be three 13 x 19 prints and eight 9 x 12.  Keep watching for the creation of this exhibit which will begin showing on February 1st. for a couple of months at the Hooksett New Hampshire library.

Israel Here We Come

This year Linda and I will be going to Israel for the third time in our marriage.  Linda has been there one more time than me, when she was a teenager.  We look forward to relaxing instead of continuous sight seeing.  Linda plans to paint on the Mediterranean, and I will begin my ninth book which is the sequel to the book, "Blackest of Fridays," being published later this year.

I plan to do a lot of pre-selling book eight before it actually hits the streets.  Watch for our photos and write ups of our journey.

Happy New Year Everyone!
