Foolish gibberish

  • AboutI am also known as CraftyMoni elsewhere on the web. I am a Children’s Librarian. I am a photographer. I am a knitter. I am a reader. I am a wannabe poet. I blog. Sometimes I complain. I like to swear. I have a really twisted sense of humor. I think I might be a Zen Buddhist (Still trying to decide). Not a fan of organized religion. I am very liberal and can be vocal about it at times. I’m a daydreamer. Sometimes sassy. I try to be compassionate. I think I’m pretty nice most of the time. You can delve into deeper waters by reading these posts. You can see my photography on my Flickr page. If you like any photos you see there or on this site and would like to buy a print let me know. I would be happy to sell one to you! I blather about library stuff on  Twitter. You will also find me on Google+ and Facebook. Enjoy your visit!

    The other day I toyed with the idea that perhaps I would do another “100 days of blogging” project starting November 1st. Well, it’s already November 1st and so, even thought I have absolutely nothing interesting to day and hardly any time to blog, I thought I should at least throw something up here to mark the beginning of this event.

    Here is an Instax Square double exposure self portrait I took the other day. 🙂

    I was listening to music this morning and this oldie popped up on iTunes: Interpol’s Slow Hands. I love this song,and this whole album for that matter. I haven’t heard it in years and years.

    So anyway!

    I sprained my knee and have been crankily hobbling around on a crutch for the past week and a half. I really would love to get back into the habit of blogging more, but I am not sure that is going to be anytime soon. Maybe this post will be the seed that gets me going?

    I love taking pinhole photos when I’m out eating in a restaurant. I think all pinhole photographers do, because it’s a common theme. 🙂 Here are a few pinholed meals from this past summer.

    Here are a few more from my visit to the Portland Japanese Gardens in June. I took these while resting on the bench, starting at the tranquil water. We (the group of pinhole photographers I was with) had a nice conversation with some curious onlookers.

    Somehow blogging has fallen off of my radar and I haven’t posted in a few weeks. It’s kind of crazy how time can get away from you. I have missed my blog, so this is an attempt to get back into the habit.

    I’ve been shooting quite a lot this Summer, and I have results to post! Here are a pair of photos from the Portland Japanese Garden in June on a pinhole meetup with some SCOPES friends.
