    Congratulations!

    Most are very good. The one of you I like, especially since the camera you are holding is not as obvious.

    Have a wonderful week,
    Egmont

    Kristin,

    You really caught some great shots. The costumes and fuzzy focus with blurred edges - that semi-sepia coloring all works together so well. The pictures had movement - told a story - GREAT work.

    Sincerely,
    Paula

    Thanks to both of you. I've been fortunate lately with people interested in my photography. It's fun to post the fine art as lately I've been engrossed with rather boring catalog type photography. We do what we must. Really, thanks again.

Perpetual Poetry: Words Inspiring Words, a review

"Reading Karen Lillis" copyright 2014 Kristin Fouquet Perpetual Poetry: Words Inspiring Words a review of The Paul Simon Project by Karen Lillis I have a confession to make. I am not a poet.  I write fiction and I believe writing poetry is a completely different process.  I love reading good poetry, but I am in no way a poetry scholar.  These are the reasons I usually do not review poetry chapbooks.  The Paul Simon Project by Karen Lillis is only my second exception to this rule. Influenced by Simon’s words and music on the album Still Crazy After All These Years ,  Lillis duplicates the song titles for her poems in this collection. Some follow a similar  path as the subject of the song; others venture in their own direction. The album’s title song inspires a poem which mimics the melancholy and  sentimentality of the original. Yet, she pumps it up with a contemporary  edginess and gender reversal. In “M...

Dimitri Fouquet, New Orleans Artist

  On June 24, 1943, Dimitri Fouquet’s life began as Wayne Fouquet on a wooden kitchen table in Algiers Point on the West Bank of the murky Mississippi River.
