Not much to report, except I headed to a late-season rummage sale. Seems the mention of "Oshkosh memorabilia" in the classified is a good thing. This guy had a lot of Oshkosh ornaments--some I already own, some I decided to not get. Did get an additional Public Library one, as well as the big score--one celebrating the Paine [10:24PM edit: Photographing the thing was tough!]. Even more significant was my purchase of several annual report calendars released by the city---lots of fun historical info in them! One of them even came with a parks dept. newsletter, which mentioned the first ever Celebration of Lights in 2002! I probably could've found more, but this was good enough!
Not much else for a while, except for the Gallery Walk tonight. Going to be cold, though.....

The sun. A very bright, gaseous ball located millions of miles away that is so hot, so massive, that it can heat a series of planets and control how they are oriented. When she blows one day, and ultimately she will, all life in its system will cease to exist. It is fortunate for us piddly humans that we are in a place that gives us just the right amount of exposure to keep temperatures regular, meaning that we are neither broiled nor left to freeze solid. Is it any wonder then that many cultures worshipped the sun as a God?
If the sun has this much control over the external system, isn't it reasonable to consider that it might also control our inner systems, (i.e.) the mind? I can tell you that for this man, it certainly does. I am never more aware of that than at this time of year, when bleak, rainy days far outnumber bright, cheery ones.
People are amused by my mad dashes to capture what shadows of light break through on occasion. Just the other day while sitting in front of one of my university's libraries, a Korean woman came to ask me if I needed assistance as I studied on the wall. "Only if you can help me find a sunnier spot!" By the time we arrived at the bench that had been previously, it had already fallen back into shade. I therefore reluctantly chose to head back to my former area.
I believe I suffer from some degree of Seasonal Affect Disorder (SAD). It is really difficult for me to maintain a positive mood, focus, and energy when I can't bask in that glorious light. This may be ironic for a blind person, but I don't think so as the sun's effects can still be perceived by the nerves within the eye even if the eyes themselves don't work properly. I think it would actually be very beneficial for me if I could come up with more productive ways to deal with this particular challenge, and especially as I am currently slogging through the last of a very tough semester of graduate school. Even in my earlier college days, this period was a challenge for me due to the limited amount of exposure I could get while sitting outside.
I hope mostly that the sun doesn't go down on me or anyone else. If you have this difficulty too, it might be productive to pull up your blinds and roll a chair over to the window if it is too cold to go out, as I discovered. Or better yet, let's pack our things and move to the sunshine state! No matter what, I have to find a way to keep that light in my life.

Well, this was the night I waited for---my gallery debut, and at my favorite place, no less! A number of folks scoped out my photos----the Playing in the Rain photo seemed to me like the more popular one [the other was a rose shot I took in my room]. That photo also received a compliment from Phil Sealy---the elder statesman of Appleton Art Center, and a very good friend of the late Dallas Anderson. I also showed off the photos to Janet Wullner-Faiss [who has a "Christmas Window" inspired by her husband on display] and to several other participants. My mom, her boyfriend, my brother, and his wife also got to see the place! Neither photo sold yet, but I've got a month. Needless to say, it feels humbling to finally have my work out there---and at AAC, no less---but it also dumbfounds me in a way. That's because this exhibit is the last before AAC shuts its doors and begins its gallery renovation. My work will be among the last to be displayed in "the old gallery".
As for the other works worth noting, there were a lot. My 2 big favorites were a huge leaf made of recycled aluminum soda/drink cans [all green], and "Ooo!" by Tim Nyberg [as featured on his site]. Another was a rather trompe l'oeil painting by Jerry Krejcha----as I was discussing it with my brother and his wife, I found out he was right next to me!!! Don't worry---I had nothing but good things to say about it---that piece should've been at the Woodson!
All in all, I had a very nice night. I'll probably be back up there a couple more times to take it in.....and to see if my photos sold. :P
Not much up for the weekend. It'd probably be best if I stayed in the house. It's getting too cold out there.
