Sunny days and time for interviews !
Trying to get as many interviews and Portraits done as I can while the weather is nice ! After such a brutal winter I feel a bit urgent to take these warm months and be as productive as I can! Of course I am also juggling trying to keep my photography business going , looking to relocate soon and staying in touch with friends and my sweet daughter, who is in Texas this summer on an internship .
Its amazing also , how much time needs to be spent on social media sites such as facebook and blogs to keep the info coming, keep the interest level up and hopefully instill some true interest in this ongoing book project dream!
My most recent interview was with Betty Vornbrock (you can see her portrait on that page) She lives in Hillsville , Va on a beautiful tree farm with her hubby "Billy" and I really enjoyed our time together. we both grew up in the 60s and so it was fun to talk about that era and the freedom we enjoyed. Though 'Freedom' is relative term , being female, we shared some hitch hiking experiences and how , back in the day, it was not considered such a crazy idea to hold out a thumb and hop a ride with a stranger.
Betty shared some wonderful adventures and I love her memories of her Mother and how she , an artist herself , encouraged her children to play, sing , dream and create ! Betty believes , this influence was vital in the making of her musical journey and her ability to pursue her dream , as an artist-musician without any guilt or distraction . Hats off to artist Mothers who encourage dreaming and the pursuit of it!!
