The Art of Bossy
Photography is one of the few art forms that has not tempted me into obsession. I love looking at other people's photos but when it comes to taking my own I have a difficult time summarizing a moment in time into a two dimensional snippet. There are just so many things, seen and unseen, pulling at my attention.
What does this have to do with Bossy, you ask? Firstly, if you don't know, Bossy is a very funny blogger who is in the midst of blogging her way around the continental United States AND she visited me at my home just last night. Secondly, I took lots of pictures of Bossy and a group of new friends during a wonderful evening and they came out like this
and this
and even this
I'm very sorry about that. This is, after all an art blog. So where is the real art for this post? I mean, the good stuff?
I suppose it will have to be in the telling. The experience is the art. And the seeing is within each one of us. We are all part of it. This excellent road trip that Bossy created has brought together so many personalities and viewpoints and the effect radiates inward and outward in so many directions.
The picture that forms is in motion. It is of a woman who carries a spark to every person who wants to take it. It is a beautiful picture of confidence, elegance and poise. It is a picture that speaks of letting go of whatever is holding us back. The I'll nevers and the I can'ts are painted over with the I wills and the we ares. Okay, we ares is weird. But you get the idea. We are connecting in so many ways in this wild web and I am grateful to have Bossy holding the thread as she passes by. She is a pioneer that cuts the path so we can all see each other more clearly for who we really are. Wondrous creatures.
So go forth and read iambossy.com. And read her comments and her commenter's comments and they will each show you another unique piece of the picture.
Thank you to everyone who shared this excellent experience with me during Bossy's stop in Tallahassee. Ruth, Deb, Blog Starr, Inga and Julie. You are all fabulous. And thank you Bossy for being you.

i think photographs showing motion and the true light and scene are art! you got it! it was so good to see you. let's get together sometime.
wonderfully offered! you are a generous artist and salon creator--which is what every artist and writer secretly desires, isn't it?
Thank you so much!
