"Thankful, Thankful, Thankful, Thankfulness...

is flowing from my heart."

Hello friends, there is a gospel song that highlights the feelings of thankfulness, but the person/choir who sings it eludes me at this moment. But nevertheless, it accurately expresses how I am feeling. As we all know, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, a little well known day in the life of every American! And yes, while we get to gorge ourselves on all things festive, I pause at this moment to share a few things I'm currently thankful for.

First and foremost, I am thankful to be loved by my family, old friends and new. I am thankful for transition! I am still in the place where I am growing as a human, a woman, and an artist. Still growing and figuring my place in the world. I am also thankful that this year, while coming to an end, promises to bring new opportunities for the last few days which remain ahead. Determining where I am going to land when it's all said and done. I am also thankful to be at home with my family and break bread with them for another year; surrounding the matriarch of our family.

So what are you thankful for? Be sure and share it.

Back From the 'Ville

Hello Family,

I am back from Nashvegas, sad to leave the 70 degree days behind, but already busy back in the Mil. Funny, I was meeting with one of the REDLine founders today and said, how much I would love to goof today, watch a few movies, eat some pop corn... but I have to keep the party going! My next show is January!

But nevertheless, it was great to see my peeps, even if it was brief.

The best was having my dear friends, the ladies of the BTC, support me during my exhibition at Fisk. Very humbling to be in such a place of history. My DAD also surprised me by attending! This was just great and yes, of course tears were shed, but those who know me well aren't surprised. In addition, I had a chance to exchange a few Photo Bits with my friend Samon (another amazing photographer), breakfast, lunch, and dinner with several good friends! And now back to the grind. If you haven't done so already, please follow me on Twitter at FotoFans. A quick and easy way to keep up with yours truly.

Now Presenting...

Greetings Family!
About 15months ago I returned from a season of connection with myself or dare I say reconnection and adventure with the world around me. As you know, my objective was to grow and pursue my passion of art making specifically photography. Well, in some ways with the next few days this journey is coming full circle...

I am proud to announce a new exhibition opening Friday, November 12. In conjunction with Fisk University's 2010 Homecoming Celebration and the Young Alumni Association I will be sharing several new photographic mixed media pieces. Each piece is simply.... Reflecting the Past. Should you find yourself in the Nashville area; please stop by.

Fisk University, Milo Cravath Administration Building, 1000 17th Ave North, Nashville. Friday, November 12, 6:00-10:00pm. A special artist talk will take place at 5:30pm! I had a recent comment asking to see more updates on this process, new work and the latest in the life of Laci. "Don't leave us hanging!," were the specific comments. I need to do a better job and I want to stay connected with my "peeps!" And so here until then... (or after considering when you read this), read my photography blog at http://www.fotofans.blogspot.com/ or follow me on Twitter @FotoFans! Thanks for following until now and let's keep the party going!
