PHOTOSCHMOOZER: Two by Two: Happy Valentine's Day!!

BE STILL...and SEE Photography

Reflecting on who I am...what is important to me...and the gifts I offer the world, I have reorganized this PhotoSchmoozer blog into separate pages for your viewing. I am about so much...people - relationships - drums and rhythms and especially photography...and I realize that although separate, they are all so INTEGRATED into the Whole of who I am!! It's a very peaceful thought and I am thankful for the intuitive gift to see the connections and the relationships. Enjoy the journey through the blog...and WELCOME.
Contemplative photography is about being totally present and seeing exactly what is before you, without filters or judgment. It is about seeing with your heart.Doesn't everyone see what is before them? Not really. You may see a candle on a table. Do you also see the shadows it creates? Or the reflections that the light casts on it? Or it's underlying shape and form?

Two by Two: Happy Valentine's Day!!

Last night while sitting at the Bus Stop Music Cafe in Pitman for the bluegrass jam, I happened to look at the couple sitting at the next table and saw an endearing 'touch' between the two of them. Then as I looked further, I saw two by two by two - get it? Two hands and two mugs and two salt/pepper shakers. I chuckled and it added joy to PhotoSchmoozer's evening!! It doesn't take a lot to create something that has meaning. Then I looked around the room and began noticing other people's hands as well. Themes seem to work for me. Once I start with something, I seem to notice lots more of the same theme. It is NOT intentional, but yet seems to just work out that way. I find it rather playful. Try it sometime! You will have a lot of fun seeing patterns of what goes together. Oh and Happy Valentine's Day to all of my friends!!

What fun to make Homemade Drums!

In September, 2010, I attended the Remo drum company's HealthRHYTHMS training. It was a fantastic 2 1/2 day event - learning about hand drumming and drum circles and the variety of ways that these activities are beneficial to people. Dr. Barry Bittman shared some of the exciting research that he has done that provides evidence of the benefits to participants - team building, stress reduction, FUN, spirit, communication and... Christine Stevens was our co-facilitator - an open free spirit who guided us in drum circle facilitation and then Alyssa Janney shared all of the ins and outs of the business/marketing piece for Certified HealthRHYHTMS facilitators. That I am after the training and fun...and meaningful it is. Call me to talk about scheduling a training event or a series for your friends, co-workers or community: 856-256-8380.
At the training, I talked with Roy and he shared how he had made drums (so had Julie...and a few others) They sent us info about sonotubes and how to make drums. The rest has been persistent exploration from my curious husband (with my helping hands) and then my sense of fun in decorating them!! People are beginning to ask to buy them. Why not?!?
