Thelma and Louise File

  • Suzannah
    The 'Thelma and Louise' File, inspired by the photo taking in the famous film - throw the camera out to arms length, and just shoot. Framing, sizing...it's irrelevant. Its all about capturing the moment. Here's me, capturing the moment with special friends, near and far....

thankyou

I want to say THANKYOU to my grandparents, the late Lorna and Plugger McMahon.

You see, when they laid out their plans for their estates, they were kind enough to include their grandchildren. That's not something that happens very often and I am very conscious of how generous that gesture was. I am very lucky to have had them as grandparents, they were both extraordinary people, kind, loving and a fine example for us to look up to. And I miss them both very much.

Thanks to their generosity, I am taking up an unbelievable opportunity to learn and grow, in June when I go to PEI for 5 weeks. I paid for my airfares yesterday.

Thanks to their generosity, I have been able to buy the Adobe Creative Suite, which means I can now learn and create with photographs and graphics, really lift my skills base, and make a living from my artistic work.

These are opportunities I would not have had, had it not been for them being the wonderful grandparents they were.

So Grandma and Plugger, thankyou. I hope to make you proud.

Words to Live By

  • WABI SABI
    ...the beauty of things impermanent and incomplete.... Wabi-Sabi is the release of control. It avoids beating up the creative soulo for not achieving perfection. Recognising and embracing our imperfections allows room for growth. The only result for demanding perfection is certain failure... prefection is a cruel boss. It leads to giving up, depression and anger rather than eagerness for growth and improvement. Living a Wabi-Sabi life means letting go of the stress of competition, relentless achievement, and replacing them with a willingness to let life find its own pace... In a Wabi-Sabi life, you recognise all things are impermanent, imperfect and incomplete. Once you open the door to imperfection, a creative force rushes into your life... We dont know what will happen tomorrow. Often we cant influence the future. What we think of as failure is simply a lack if knowing. You dont always have to know. And you dont always have to be in control. Take off that heavy obligation of knowing and controlling...then decide right now. In this moment. To live and grow, And leave perfection behind. - Quinn McDonald - Sommerset Studio March/April 2006
