October 3rd , Ruth and her Arabians © erica felicella photography

This is an image from a large project I did several years ago. In this picture is Ruth Burandt, one amazing woman. Wells and I spent the day with her, her animals, a nice chilly walk through the snow and homemade venison stew. I hope to finish the self published book of this project soon so I can mail them to all of the amazing people I met in Minnesota. The kindness of strangers is a wonderful thing.



October 4th, Man at Water's Edge in Seattle © erica felicella photography

Another great day spent with a camera. I was out for a walk in Seattle with my camera and my best pal Amy. We walked in the breezy weather and looked through windows. When we got down to the water's edge I came upon this gentleman. I can not remember his name but I remember the conversation. He was delightful and made me giggle.

October 2nd, Picture a Day

I remember this day as if it was yesterday. I had at this time a studio in the amazing Continental Gin Building. If you have not been to an open studio there, I highly recommend it. I had the pleasure to work with two outstanding gals this day. I would have to say all in all one of the best days I have had with a camera hands down.

October 1st, Picture a Day

Today I begin a small project. I am excited about digging through stacks of images and bringing a select few to the front. Since this is a completely random selection process I decided to pick a Happy Accident as the first pick. When I travel or take walks with my camera I am always shooting possible background plates I could use at a later date. This capture was the middle of a bracket, I was simply shooting away and never saw the man approaching. I was completely pleased that he ended front and center in the frame. Life gives you little gifts sometimes.

So much living and so little posting

Why is it I always seem to be apologizing to a neglected blog.... Well here we go again. I have been a busy gal since my last post in August. There has been new work made, future work captured, trips taken and dreams building. September was a month to fill my head with the next projects and clear out the old ones. Although I never quite finish this process I am ready to proceed just the same. Did I also mention one of my all time favorite activities has come to town. Howdy Folks! I love the Fair time of year. Stay tuned to my flickr for photo from the last two months..... coming soon

Looking forward in October!

There are many new developments for the Month of October. I am really looking forward to shaking my tail feathers! First up are the new Ads I have been working on for promotion.


Next up is the "A picture a day series for October"
I have given myself a new self assignment, so that I can get more work out there in the world. This starts tomorrow and I am excited to get going. Then rules are to post one new picture a day from past shooting or brand new. I will be digging through my negatives (that's right negatives), digital archives and snapping some new ones for this.

Also coming in October New Commission packages for the fall and new year. Have you ever wanted to be someone else, confront yourself face to face or still want the chance to be what you wanted "when you grow up". Then look no further, I am here to help so stay tuned.....and by golly enjoy the weather!!

Art Conspiracy's SEED is Tomorrow.

Art Conspiracy is up to it again. Come on out tomorrow night to help Art Conspiracy raise funds to put on it's number 5! The artists have gathered once again this time with coffee cans. The task was to turn them into any kind of lamp you could dream of, the results are awesome. I ofcourse forgot to take pictures of mine for some reason. My brain is checked out from time to time. Haha. I went after my can with liquid rubber a medium I have never used. All I can say is a respirator is a good thing and I think this stuff may occur again in my work. Let the bidding begin!

A recent chat with R.J. Jackson for the Rick and RJ Collaborative

R.J. Jackson recently came by my house to have a chat, the thing about R.J.is he shows up with microphones and a digital recorder. He is working on a new adventure with Rick Vanderslice called the Rick and RJ Collaborative. I have had the pleasure of being on the Vanderslice Salon in the past with Carissa Byers. It was a fun hour that went by quickly. If you have some time have a listen to our discussion. This is the first time I have had a discussion strictly about my own journey in the art world, I hope you enjoy and a big thanks to R.J.
