Top to bottom: the painter, Terrance Osborne, posing with festgoers in front of a magnificent collection of his work; Carl Crawford of South Carolina, creating a painting and talking with admirers in the sunshine; Amanda Shaw in the sky with diamonds, at the Gentilly Stage; Lyle Henderson & Emmanuel singers performing in the Gospel Tent.
I followed your links and come back here with two gems in my hands:
ReplyDelete1)"When art speaks to your spirit, words are of no use." -T. Osborne
2)You work as a Manuscripts Catalog Librarian to Tulane University Louisiana Research Collection!
Lovely pieces of inspiration and information!
Dear Claudia, Thanks for looking here. I saw that quote on Terrance Osborne's website, and noticed it too. Yesterday, he was beaming. Before I realized that he was the artist, he had asked me where I got my ice cream cone. Later, once I realized that he was indeed Terrance Osborne, the wonderful painter, right in front of me, I should have gone and gotten him the ice cream cone he wanted, but instead I'm putting up his photo in two places. sp
ReplyDeleteFair enough. An ice-cream lasts what? Five minutes at the most. But a photo in a virtual context will be hanging around for years and years and years... (as long as the Mayas were just kidding about 2012 ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo that's what you did with yourself yesterday. I drove by it today while taking Bobby up to Harrison Avenue to get some goldfish (don't ask.) So many people all over Esplanade. We also had a little Lakeview lunch of fried catfish. Get it while you can.
ReplyDeleteDear Claudia and Glenn, Thanks! I'm not too worried about 2012, but I do worry that the Google/Blogger/Yahoo/etc will shut down without any notice. Glenn, your reference to the oil leak is so sad... it seems that everything we hold dear is constantly under threat by natural and man-made disasters. If they could just figure out a way to plug the leak, then it would be a cleanup. And yes, when I think of the oysters, it's not really the oysters as living beings that I'm concerned about. take care, sp
ReplyDeleteSussah! I'm thrilled that you've enabled comments! Finally we can respond with words to all of your beautiful, moving images. Hoorah!
ReplyDeleteDear Emily, I read your new post before I saw your comment here. Thanks so much & I'm so happy to have the highlights of your life, that you have selected to share with the whole universe! Love to you and sumanth, sussah
ReplyDeleteClaudia, Sussah is a gem unto herself. Angels and People has been one of my favorite blogs for over a year.

ReplyDeleteDear K, Thanks so much for your sweet comment, and also for your prolific writings which support our many causes down here. sp
ReplyDeleteI've had a couple of comments in Japanese (I think). Are these maybe students of Rick? sp
ReplyDeleteI've had a few of those comments, too. I've run them through Google Translator, and they seem to be in Mandarin. They have tended to refer people to Asian girls. You may have to just delete them, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Glenn, I just did. enjoy the day... sp
ReplyDeleteHi Sussah,
ReplyDeleteYeah, those are spam comments, and as Glenn said, they're in Chinese. I've had a few of them myself. I can tell by looking if something is Japanese, Chinese, or Korean, but I wouldn't expect you or most people I know to see the difference.
Also, I don't tell my students about my blog. And (being an English teacher) any of them who did happen to post to my blog *in Japanese* would get a swift (figurative!) kick in the behind the next time I saw them.
And (at last) thanks for the great pics!
Hi Rick, Thanks for explaining this. When I ran the Asian text through the Google translate, it did give me some words! Nothing that made sense. And I feel certain that any real person commenting would at least make sense! I'll probably see you and your daughter skating around in my trip in the time machine/ vendor stand that Glenn photographed and posted. sp
