Portfolio Project Midpoint Gallery Show

Photo by Karyn Kelbaugh, who says, "The process has certainly been about highs and lows, or more so about plenty and drought.  When I have inspired ideas, like I did today, they come in a flood and usually at the most inconvenient times, and then when I desperately need inspiration, it hides from me.  I have found however that even if I have no ideas, if I just start shooting, the ideas start to come anyway."  Karyn blogs at Mundane Details.

Stepping out into early evening

it is fifteen seconds at most

of standing in the moist air

looking up at the

almost full moon

as the clouds blow past

time to take

maybe one breath

and back into

the beating heart of the house

with its dinner, its child,

a basket of socks.

I want to thank all the artists who shared their work with us in this Midpoint Gallery Show. Many of them sent me multiple pieces, and it was excruciating to pick just one. I wanted to do a fancy slideshow, but I was getting mired down in the details and had to ditch that idea to keep it fast and dirty. Maybe at the end I'll figure that out. I am so fortunate to be creating alongside each one of you.

Please contact me if you have any corrections to make regarding your credits and links, or if you sent me work and don't see it here. I want to share everything you send me, but with my travels it's possible something may have fallen through the cracks.
