The Feral Life, Back From The Show
Sometime this afternoon, The Feral Life arrived via UPS – well packaged – from its exhibition at the Center For Fine Art Photography. I’ve been a bit overwhelmed with my sister being in the hospital and having to take care of the farm while she is gone. I didn’t even notice its arrival.
The Center did a good job of matting and framing. My only problem now is that I’m really out of room for my personal collection (as you can see) and I’m going to have to do something with some of these works. At any rate I specified double matting and heavy UV plexi, knowing that this work will be going on to other acclaim and awards. And someday soon, someone special will own it.
Artist’s Reception
Sadly, it turns out that I will not be attending my own reception at The Center For Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins, Colorado on the 4th. I wanted to go but work schedule and finances are not going to allow it. I didn’t know this until yesterday. For those expecting to see me there, I apologize.
I will do better next time. Hopefully someone will get pictures of the reception and displayed work for me!
In other news, Thursday is anniversary of the death of FloJo the Cat. And we’re having a winter storm this late with 50mph winds and 4 inches of rain. I guess this isn’t the best time of year.

Let’s get together….
I have found some guidelines for Twitter that I really like and have adopted as my own. They represent my commitment to you! I hope you like them, too…
1) I won’t spam your twitter timeline. Seriously, people who post 30 tweets a day are too desperate for attention in my opinion, unless they happen to be at ground zero for Armageddon and you have real time information to pass on. I won’t do that. Depending on what’s going on, I may only tweet once or twice a day. Sometimes it will be more but nothing spammy.
2) I won’t just advertise my stuff! I’m an artist so I’ll tweet when I post new things. That may happen once a day. Sometimes twice. I also tweet new cat pictures – which are part of my art as well as my passion. In addition, I share quotes I find interesting as well as some pithy news items that I think people should read. I’m not “marketing” and I don’t want to be marketed to, either.
I tweet about #cats and #art NEWS, plus I show off some unique photos and art pieces. Sometimes I comment on current events and sometimes I tweet interesting quotations and bits of philosophy.
3) I read @replies and sometimes respond as necessary (although I’m not always quick about this) From time to time I may reply to one of your tweets. Often, these are just idle comments that require no response. Sometimes I have questions about something you said…
4) I DO read links that look interesting and sometimes even retweet stuff. You know my interests! If a link catches my attention I’ll definitely look. I only try to avoid spammy ad stuff. As for my own links: There won’t be a lot of them. Hopefully you’ll see something that is interesting enough to read …and maybe even retweet! 
Retweets are greatly appreciated and usually publicly thanked via an @Mention ! I’m really good about this.
IF YOU FOLLOW ME: I will check-out your profile. It may not be instantaneous, but I’ll look. If you seem to be talking about a compatible subject (cats, art, philosophy, photography, writing) then I’ll follow you back! If your timeline looks spammy, I may hold off for a bit. If you appear to only be selling products (mass produced, sales-pitch kind of things) then I probably won’t follow you back. It isn’t personal, I just have more than enough of that sort of thing to deal with as it is. Thank you for visiting my Twitter page.
