Don't Be a Picklebump

I’m playing a bit of catch up today. I managed to get wicked sick yesterday and spent the day either praying to the porcelain god or asleep. I am feeling better today though.

Reverb 2011 – Synchronicity

There haven’t been any great moments of synchronicity in 2011 that I can think of right off the top of my head. Unlike 2010 when I decided to focus on taking pictures of people and I ended up taking an outdoor portraits class with David Vu of DVisualArts. Or when I asked Ramona at Texas Art Asylum to let me know if she got in any vintage iron-on transfers and the next time I walked in the door, she had just pulled out the very thing I requested from a box she received.

There are only two instances of synchronicity that I can remember. The first is when Ramona asked if I wanted to be a board member for her non-profit The Center for Recycled Art. I’d been thinking about asking her if she needed help with the web site/social media and she beat me to the punch. At least I get to use my web and social media skills for the greater good.

The second was when I got off the bus downtown for work and saw the old man feeding the birds in front of the Houston Police Station. I just happened to have my DLSR in my backpack with me. And that led me make the pictures that have been my favorites of this year (If you haven’t seen them go towards the middle of this Reverb11 Post about intuition and super powers.)

Resound 11

The one great experience I had this year was seeing Peter Gabriel live early this summer. I think it was just the overall energy of the concert and seeing the images he paired to go with his words. At first I wasn’t thrilled by the idea of the New Blood Orchestra, but when I saw the performance it was out of this world.
