The thermometer said – 20 this morning, Simon’s whiskers said it was cold, but the light says Spring is coming, and that is where I am staying focused. My Kickstarter project “Talking To Animals” is about to close it’s funding period, I’ve raised more than $16,000 for the project, I am excited about it and grateful for the support and  mesmerized by people’s desire to keep art alive. I can’t wait to get to work writing and photographing it, once the money is transferred to me I’ll head for B&H Photo in New York to get a new camera, I’ll share that process, I will also use some of the money to apply it to the time I can spend working on the project. I thank all of you from the blog and those many people who are new to me and my work. The project ends at 9:21 a.m. this morning, after that, no more money will be accepted.  How cool. My goal was $9,000, I guess this is a big vote for the idea.
