Transformation

I am under the transition of current finance job to full-time pottery artist.  There are so much pressure to finish up current job and also create the pottery market in the same time.  But it's an exciting transformation!  There are not many people are willing to take risk to follow their hearts.


The Dalai Lama was asked what surprises him the most.  He replied: "Man - because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.  Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.  Then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; He lives as if he is never going to di, and then he dies having never really lived."  This is so true!!

New pottery photos

I finally fired a batch of new pots for the art show 2 days ago. This morning, I was excited to shoot pictures of them but they look terribly in the pictures. I really need help for picture taking. I am always jealous that some artists take unbelievable photos for their artwork. Any ideas?
