A New Beginning

I am going to start a documentary about how it is for me to go to poetry events, and try to sell my art and jewellery.
I will be doing short videos, and posting them here.  Some with two cameras.  Then, I will try to knit them together into a nice little film, and see if people like it.
Of course, Tarene the Terrific Kitten will be in it, too!
Here she is, picking on my painting!!!
I was trying to photograph it, to email it to a local gallery.  And, yes, that is Tibetan music playing.  My CD.  Tarene loves it!

Fiverr

I decided to try this new site, to sell stuff for $5.00.  Thought that maybe people would like how I change my ugly phiz into artwork.
I checked today.
They were all excited for me!!!
They said, "So far, You have made $0.00 with Fiverr!"
WOW!!!
Happy Dance!  Yay!

Trying to Raise Money for a Second Camera

I'm so frustrated with the video editors that I have, that I now think that I do need another Toshiba camcorder!
My problem is that the only video editor that works well in my computer is the Lightworks one.  The Sony Vegas wouldn't download to my computer, or upload to YouTube!  
I did such a good edit with it, too!!!  Matched the two cameras lighting, and all!
I read that Adobe Premiere Pro is too big a file for laptops, so I can't use that at all!
I am now trying to work with Power Director 12.  It is kind of clunky.  I can only put in 4 views in their multicam editor, and I use the red camera several different times during a taping.  I'll have to fiddle with the timeline.  Blehh.

Sooooo.....I have started a crowdfunding thing.  They won't let me only ask for the $60-$70 needed for another little Toshiba.  They insist on starting at $200.00!  (That means that if I only raise part, they get a bigger percentage.Here is the link!

Contests Entered Late at Night

I just entered two contests.  Both required thought and talent.  So..., of course I entered BOTH of them late at night!!!
That means that I can now blame my losses on my sleep deprived state.  Sneaky!
I entered a photo contest at Henry's Cameras.  You win a nice Canon copier worth $799.00, and your photo gets displayed at some fancy photo event.
I also entered a PetValu contest, to say why you love your pet.  Of course, I went on for too long.  They won't read it.  The Perils of Being a Writer!
I forget which photo I entered in the Henry's contest.  It was one of me done up artistically.  I hope that it qualifies as a photo!   
I think that it was this photo. 
 Not sure.
