As I work on my blogs I am growing with them. Discovering things that I need do to improve my content and function of the blogs, I am certainly growing with it.  Self discovery, if you will. I used to think stuff like that was hog wash, but now I certainly see the connection in doing something and becoming more enlightened while your doing it .

This past month has been pretty hectic blog wise. I have been installing and uploading and downloading and signing up so so much.... Let's see... I have used many weblog tools like Blog Catalog, My Bloglog and other apps to develop  my blogs ..Wibiya is a excellent tool, it clears up space on the blog by incorporating apps that would normally be stashed on the blog, into a nice compact toolbar

 ......... Storing images online is very convenient if you take a lot of shots. Flickr is a nice place for storing pics and sometimes can get a little over run with photos that are outdated or no longer serve a purpose. .I visited my Flickr today and notice that  there were pics that annoyed me . Images I thought were ingenious at one time are now blah and corny. Cleaning them out by deletion was

I can't believe I'm doing this .... I am in the process of making another blog... My 3rd  or  fourth... or something ,  woooooa.

I could and do use Flickr and Photobucket but I just enjoy blogging so much I could not resist. So see you over @

 One passion I have acquired is (photo-manipulation) and layering. Here is an example of a project I did for this blogs title. Changing and adding images in layers to come up with a completely new image by layering them one on top of the other using Microsoft Paint.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaArt is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, sculpture, and paintings. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics.
