I enjoy taking photographs, so a few days ago I submitted one to my local newspaper to be considered for publication. I didn't really expect to hear anything from them, but today they informed me that they liked it, and it will appear in the paper soon. They have also asked me to consider sending more of my photos, so I'm really pleased. I still retain the copyright, so I've got nothing to lose. I doubted whether they would be interested in them, so it just proves that nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Joan :grin:

    Memo:

    To: Fat Kev, part-time bartender and model
    From: Joan Lawson, Photographer to the stars

    Dear Fat Kev

    Thank you for your kind offer, but I gather that your modelling experience so far has been limited to posing in the bar of the Cane and Able and in Dementia's bedroom. After looking at the video you sent ( see below) I'm not sure that the world is quite ready to view your assets, exquisite though they might be. Sorry to disappoint you.

    Joan

    Thanks Nina. They can't tell me which day it will be in, but it's a photo of bluebell woods at Melbourne.

    Thank you for your kind comments. This is the photo. Sorry it looks so small on here. It was taken in a bluebell wood near to where I live. I liked the way that the sun was shining through the trees, catching the beautiful colour of the bluebells.

    Thank you, Barbara. I'm going to try to turn the photograph into a watercolour painting now.

    OOOoooooo Joan that is so pretty and gives a sense of inner peace and calm. If you get me ? It would be lovely as a watercolour something i may have done a few years back.

    Well done! :grin:
