And of course they showed up because it's a beautiful interesting thing that you are beginning. Good luck and I'd love to be a part of it if I happen to be anywhere near where you happen to shoot. (for now I'm allll the way over in Ohio) I don't comment lots, but you should know that I read often, love your cartoons (you've got such a great flair), love hearing about your explorations into Zen Buddhism (So far it's the only religious/spiritual experience that I feel any calling to - I just haven't committed myself yet to more than occasional study)<BR/><BR/>So, Thanks again for sharing your life.<BR/>Oh, and your knitting is fabulous, can't wait to see the christening shawl in all of its glory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-62468286304955854322007-07-19T09:42:00.000-04:002007-07-19T09:42:00.000-04:00Two comments:First, that photo is stunning.

There was a woman from India sitting next to me who didn't speak any English and her family was sitting several rows away. I could tell she was very nervous about the flight. Once we were in the air, I pulled out my knitting and all of a sudden her eyes lit up and after a while of watching me she just grabbed my knitting and started working on it herself! I just smiled. I think it calmed her down. <BR/>Anyway, I hope you find yourself in Toronto mid-August visiting the harlot and doing a little photoshooting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-461664060737656292007-07-18T10:39:00.000-04:002007-07-18T10:39:00.000-04:00You do realize you've got a great book here, right...You do realize you've got a great book here, right?!!<BR/><BR/>I hope you take the time to get a proposal together to submit to an agent. <BR/><BR/>Feel free to email me if you need some recommendations or help.

Think of how a community of enthused and joyful people are creating good out of that. The world needs us all to do our bit to transform "ewwww" to something good. Someone puts up with touching the yucko yarn and someone else puts time in the shots and beauty triumphs.
