Social media and Networking!?

I am figuring out this social media stuff like twitter, facebook, flickr and even blogging.  It is kind of fun and interesting, but do I really want to spend my time this way?  Hmmmm – I am thinking not so much.  Guess I will just have to try it and see how it goes.  I have added a blog roll/list to my blog and I like how I get updates for other interesting blogs right away.  Today I did more doodling and no printing. Enjoy! http://www.linda-germain.com/

In the Studio w/ Friends

Tonight I had some company in the studio.  Taking some time off from gelatin printing and playing with paint with my nephew.  Here he is admiring his handy work.  We rolled out a piece of paper the whole length of the studio and got the paint everywhere.  He is a pensive little guy.  His brother painted a bit but was more interested in planes and the bridge that we built over the painting. I played with some ferns and leaves.  I also tried several different papers.  Just experimenting and keeping it light. http://www.linda-germain.com/
