I’m sorry

Hello world,

I apologize for the lack of Ireland photos. A bit has come up in the real world, but hopefully after next week, I will have lots of glorious things to post.

Wish me luck!

Greenfest Prints

On Saturday I volunteered with the Newark Arts Alliance for the NCCl School GreenFest. We were printmaking with recycled materials – cork, buttons, bottle caps, and a few different other materials and acrylic paints.

Here are my super cool prints! They remind me of the ’90s and they make me smile.

We left early from Doolin on the road to Dingle. I was still pretty sleepy, but I did wake up to see a few nice things.

Prepwork

Hey there!

Currently working on some of my Ireland photos so that I have something to post for everyone this week! Getting reacquainted with Lightroom should be fun. =)

I spent yesterday afternoon volunteering with the Newark Arts Alliance. I was shadowing with a woman who works with University of Delaware and happens to be looking to have some darkroom equipment taken off her hands. How convenient! I happen to be looking for some darkroom equipment! We exchanged info and should be getting together to possibly be working on some things!

I also picked up a few books by Ansel Adams. I love reading material.

Ireland Day 1 – Doolin, The Burren & Cliffs of Moher

Still a bit jet-lagged from flying in the day before, Mom and I started driving around to take in all southeastern Ireland had to offer to us. We drove nearly 1,000 kilometers during our stay. We travelled down the southeastern coast starting in Doolin, then to Dingle, followed by Kenmare, Blarney and Bunratty. My goal – like it was in Germany – was castles. Mom’s was everything.

I’d done a bit of reading on the Burren the night before – as I’d slept all day as soon as we’d gotten to the Trildoon House B&B. There, my main objective was to find fossils. I didn’t do so well until I climbed the stairs at the Cliffs of Moher.

Bear with me as I try experiment with galleries. Leave a comment letting me know whether you like this or I should try something else… Or even go back to how I’d been posting photos before.

Until next time!
