I Will Try To Be Endearingly Excited

November 2nd, 2009 · 24 Comments · Photography

But I make absolutely no promises. I may wind up being obnoxiously excited.

cw11

I received a phone call Friday evening.

cw9

Remember the art show I wrote about? It was a show featuring many local artists… and some rural recluse named Me.

cw7

Guess what?

cw1

They want to throw me my OWN SHOW!

cw2

Like any other respected artist I instantly replied, “Can we wait until harvest is over?”

Cool Jennifer, real cool.

So the show is not until March so between now and then you can expect lots of exclamation points just like these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cw3

I am flat-out super excited. There is no other way to describe it. Silly excited.

cw4

As my six year old would say… “Awwwweeeesssssoooooommmmme”

cw5

I have so many ideas and plans swirling around in my head.

cw6

And of course, I want to hear your advice and suggestions.

cw12

Unless of course, your advice is “Please just shut up about it already.”

cw10

I don’t want to hear that. Because I’m just too happy right now.

    Your photos do an excellent job of capturing some very special aspects of something that otherwise might be considered ordinary. It’s amazes me how you tell a story by a single photo.

    How wonderful, I have followed you for a while and think of you as a far away friend. Your pics are just so great and make me feel like I am right there looking at the real thing. Will we see a calendar of your pics coming out next year? Do the show, please.

  • The Cotton Wife

    Ellie K, you are absolutely, positively a friend! :)

    Maybe a 2011 calendar? Maybe Farm Bureau or Colonial Farm Credit (hint, hint, nudge, nudge) will contract me to do one of their calendars.

    I wish ALL of you could come to the show!!
