It's almost the weekend, and I'm dreaming of upstate NY and the Adirondacks High Peaks, as pictured above (Couchsachraga Peak). We'll be there in just a week.

In the meantime, I can ship order for prints or photocards through next Wednesday, before our travels begin, or when we return in August.

Let me know if there are any prints or photocards you'd like to purchase and I'll dispatch them ASAP.

Heartfelt thanks to those who have ordered already! Your support means more than you know.

  too darn hot

too darn hot, originally uploaded by Bloodlossgirl.

It's so unpleasantly hot outside, that the dog didn't even want to finish his usual walk today. It was too unpleasant to photograph outside; so I photographed him inside, instead. My roommates, Dr. Nick and Blixa, will find themselves fodder for photographic practice frequently from now on.

Also, the dog is a ninja - having carpet means we can't hear him moving around as much anymore. He appears from nowhere.

This is for my friend Miriam, at Inside Space .

I really don't have much more to add.

  Moved Sale! Inventory Clearance
I’m not much of one to ask for help, usually I like to be first or second in line to give it. I consider myself a very fortunate person, with a very rich life, who is often cash poor. This is one of those times. I’m moved by the bravery of friends who’ve recently reached out for help to do the same.

I’m living in a new town, without work yet (I had thought I’d be at least teaching water aerobics by now, but that hasn’t worked out), and our house hasn’t sold so we still have two sets of utility bills. I like to hold up my end of things. At the moment, all I’ve got is a masters degree, the fruit of my creative pursuits, and a backlog of photographic prints.

So, if you like my photographs and have a little discretionary income earmarked for arts or entertainment, do consider a purchase.

I have the following items to sell.

4 x 6 Photo greeting cards, blank inside; for those of you who like to send cards, or as a gift for a friend of yours who does: I’m offering a set of 5 photocards for $10 each, plus $2.50 shipping. Shipping stays the same even if you buy multiple sets. What a deal!

Here is a link to single sets of 5 cards: Single sets of five, which includes this photo: At the corner of Classic & Modern

Here is a link to sets of 5 of which I have two to sell: Two sets of five, including this photo: post office

I have three sets of 5 of after the rains

If you’d like to mix-and-match and create your own set of 4 or 5, I have some single prints which you can choose from here: Mix and Match!

I have the following sets of 4 photocards for $8 each, plus $2.50 shipping: Sets of 4!

I have 5 x 7 prints for sale also, $5 per print plus $1.50 shipping. Shipping stays the same even if you order multiple prints!

Single prints here: Single 5x7 prints

I have two of each of these:Two 5 x 7 prints

The items listed here are what I have in stock, but if there's something else you'd like, a print of something not listed here, I will be happy to make one for you, just let me know what you have in mind. I will also take commissions for $25. If you have a theme, or a subject, or an idea in mind that you would like me to interpret, I will happily do so in the form of a photoessay. You’ll receive 5 x 7 prints (and a special bonus!)

You can pay via paypal, hnjames@gmail.com (please mark as “personal” to avoid fees), or send a check or cash (email hnjames@gmail.com for address!). Please leave me a comment with your order so that I can get it moving as soon as possible, and as ever, feel free to email me if you have ideas for a commission or some photographic work I can do for you.

Thanks so much in advance for your help! I appreciate anything you can do, even if that's just pointing this to someone else who might like some prints.

  some girls, some girls, cannot pass a birdbath
autumn debris

This is from September, that's how behind I am on making and processing photographs. Le sigh. To post more, I have to make more. I'm slowly rehabilitating this practice.

  Everything's coming up Milhouse
What 36 looks like

Things, assorted:

1. I had my 36th birthday recently. This is definitely going to be an interesting year, with several chapters in my book of life finishing, and new adventures and opportunities on the way.

2. We're officially moving from West Virginia to Tennessee! To the Clarksville/Nashville area. Dr. Nick has taken a job teaching at a great school, Austin Peay State University, and we're pretty excited about this.

3. Except we have to sell the house, and we'll miss it, but my downsizing since January is going to save us time and hassle.

4. I just found out today that I passed the Proficiency Exam for my Masters program! So I just have to pass my two classes this semester and I'll be graduating in May. Excellent!

5. Moving on then. Hopefully this will all mean more time for photography, and more opportunities of all kinds.

  Sunday morning in deep waters
i'll come back to you someday

This photograph has a soundtrack, the wonderful song "Ghost Town" by the Swedish sister duo First Aid Kit:



Their new album "The Lion's Roar" is fantastic, and I highly recommend checking it out. Sometimes, their voices make me shiver.

I'm now in some crazy-busy times - I am taking a Proficiency Exam in order to graduate from my Masters' Program (along with my last two classes), which involves writing two 8-12 page papers in two weeks on two separate topics which I just chose out of 10 possible. No pressure, though, nope.

Our attic is empty; yesterday the basement was triaged, and old boxes were bound up for the recycling center. Old furniture goes to the curb on Tuesday evening to be picked over.

So I'm in deep waters, but I swim, I'm a swimmer. So I'm keeping on. But I feel somewhat tied with heavy ropes to these particular railroad tracks (by a cackling villain in a top hat twiddling a handlebar moustache). Still, after I'm untied, I'll come back to you someday.
