"Every artist seems
to me to have the job of bearing witness to the world we
live in. To some extent I think of all of us as artists,
because we have voices and we are each of us unique." |

Illinois Bed & Breakfasts
|
I am fascinated with people. What they think and how they act. Having an opportunity to photograph people involoved with their passion is a target rich environment. An epitome of entrepreneurship is the Bed & Breakfast owner. I have photographed two B&B's so far this spring, meeting and getting to know the owners and their guests while photographing them and their properties - too cool.
If you are in need of any people or property based photography e-mail me. |

The Illinois Bed & Breakfast Association meets in the Spring of year to learn, share, meet vendors and grow. I attended for the second year and was truly excited about the prospects for this distinctive Illinois industry.
The B&B's listed here are two I have visited so far this year. I encourage you to visit. |

Katies Kids Learning Center is one of my longest
client relationships. I was included on the ground
floor of their first location having the honor of
developing their logo, some marketing materials
and especially their website.

Katie's Kids recently announced the opening of their second location in Normal just off Fort Jesse Road. If you or any friends live in the Bloomington/Normal area I fully encourage you to check out Katie's Kids. |

Combine a little watercolor painting, some quirky music with a
cool beat, and a wistful little verse, and you have a fun little
pick-me-up for your day. Check out this YouTube Video.
Be careful --
this interesting little tune just might get stuck in your head
for the day.
Thanks to my good friends at ArtsPartners of Central Illinois for introducing me to this
video. Check out the big Arts conference coming to Peoria in early June - One State Together in the Arts. |
