originally posted in my photo journal ( pyxie-photo) - i think once i get around to alaska part 2 i'll be posting my photo journal solely there for the most part.

i'm behind.  been busy getting ready for my next show, reorganizing, trying to rest a bit.

here are a few images from a recent hike 
btw if you know what animal that is - please to share

enjoy
hope all be wonderful  :)~

 i posted this in my photo journal ( pyxie-photo)  thought i'd post it here too :)

ok - so the pictures from the marathon are of my trip to alaska rather than me running.  though there are 2 of myself and bjorg - before and after the run.

my friend sarah got married, and they are wonderful with each other.  they made me smile over and again to se them together.

i posted this in my photo journal ( pyxie-photo)  thought i'd post it here too :)


this past weekend was a good friend of mine's bachelorette.  a friend of ours had the great idea of dressing up and going to see an 80's cover band.  the mother of the bride was kind enough to fin dresses via ebay and thrift store(s).

below are a few shots.

 ok, as many of you may have noticed, i have a tendency to start new journals.

i've started another.

initially i planned to rename this one and use this.  when i realized changing the name was an investment ($15) i decided i am supposed to keep moowazz and open another journal.

it was suggested to me to create a blog based around my photography - meaning traveling, photos, art shows, progress, people who buy my art, people who visit or i meet @ shows or en route, etc, etc, etc - so more than photos (though photos will be included).

as becoming public with my photography was a suggestion - aka those viewing my pictures are less known to me than solely family and friends -  i felt i would listen to this suggestion as well.

here is my first entry

for those unaware, yet interested i have started my journey into the public art world.  i've been doing art shows for a little over a month now (almost every weekend).

in the begining i was happily surprised by how many people would come in and stare and/or do a double-take walking by the booth.  people actually like my pictures, enough to stop walking and come look.

today i had my first non family / friend sale of a mounted piece.  this was great.  and the guy was really nice as well.  he came in the previous day with his fluffy dog (she was adorable) and liked 2 pieces.  he said he'd be back today.

he came back, minus fluffy friend because it was raining and she was enjoying a nap.  i was so excited i forgot to give him the piece of paper with it that has the description of the piece, number, etc.

hopefully he will email me for the few pictures i took of his dog so i can send it to him.

so yeah, 
 . .

just thought i'd share my big smile moment for the day (there's lots of moments)

ok - so not as exciting as say jumping out of an airplane - hopefully once i get going on the shows, i'll have more stories, maybe i'll share some of my work ones below.

oh - btw for the sugarloaf festivals (md & va) i have 4 free tickets for each show (except the 1st one, i only have 1 left)

June 27 - 28

here are my art shows until may 16th (i have one the following weekend as well) and a few new image collections

you can also find this information and more images on my website  (www.pyxie-girl.com)

i hope all is wonderful :)

Apr 3-5
sugarloaf craft festival - gaithersburg, marylandApr 24-26May 1-3May 9-10May 16-17

coming soon to an ary show (maybe) near you . . .

so for those unaware i have been slowly progressing with my photography.

this summer i will be traveling around showing my work at some art fairs.

i won't be able to hang all the pieces at every show, so i have this book for people to see other pieces that may not be hanging at that specific show.

thought some of my friends may (or may not) like to see some of what is spend way too much time on
