Thanks Gary. I have been having internet connection problems, but they
seem to be gone today. I have plans for new prints. I am doing a
kiln series and maybe more prints of pots. We hung our hanga club
show at the Bukakai ("cultural club" festival.) The gymnasium is full
of painting, calligraphy, prints, photography, lacquer work,
woodworking, you name it. It is really inspiriing: all these folks
making art for the love of art and not for money or to "get
famous." The Unknown Craftsman/Artist is alive and well.
Haven't found much in the way of cultural exhibitions here in the U.P.
I still have trouble approaching my work with an altruistic view point.
Having been born with the gift, Art is in my blood and will out weather I
get paid on not, and I'm probably getting too old to establish a
reputation to become famous. I recall in collage asking a socialist
student if I set up a studio would I own it or would it belong to the
government. He said I wouldn't own it. Couldn't join that movement. Maybe
I'm still motivated by profit but I do deserve to be paid well for what I
accomplish.
> I haven't tried to sell photo prints. My 6 year old Canon
digital is under a megapixel. I just bought a used digtial from the
Tokyo PC user's group email list, that is 3.2 mega pixels, that should
make better prints.
I'm still using film processed to a CD. With my limited knowledge I
think 4 meg.. might be the lower end for finer prints but I'll need to
study some more.
> Which types of uploads have your tried on Fotki.com? I
have found that the Java applet works sometimes, when the other ways don't.
The ones that didn't work as well. I finally got the Java installed and
here is the result, thanks for the advice. The high resolution uploaded
just fine, take a look:

I thanks for helping me out on this, I owe ya one. I like how the slide
show comes good now too, that will help viewing others work.
Kittens are always cute.
