Sample newsletter<\/em><\/p>\n

Dear Reader,<\/p>\n

One of the best ways I know to get unstuck, when one’s creative ideas aren’t flowing as they should, is to change media. And some years ago I felt the need to do something new with my photography. I bought a digital camera … and another one … and started taking color photos. Now I have launched a web gallery titled Work in Progress,<\/a> Here I present my colour experiments and introduce you to the themes, which I am working on at the moment.<\/p>\n

As Nature didn’t call me outside with my camera today, my Sunday morning (queer) photography treat was watching a lecture by Annie Leibovitz on her photography book Pilgrimage at Youtube – see link below. I do love the Web(!), as it gives me access to great works of art and artist talks, which would never be shared by the rather limited choice of cable TV stations, which I have. I hope you’ll enjoy this newsletter. Happy 2013!<\/p>\n
