So I had a great day today full of good news from seeds I planted quite a while ago. First I found out that the We are Having Weather Internet Photography project will be traveling to Zendhi MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) Shanghai, China. Then I found out MY artistic collaboration with 3 other woman called "Eye to Eye" was accepted as well and we have been invited to China to present it. I am going to Shanghai!! Wow!......

I now have some work ahead of me as we will be going in December and I have to fund raise for my airfare and expenses. I am planning to raffle a few paintings. I will post more about that when I have worked out all the details.....

Here is a copy of the Leyden Newsletter press release that I wrote today....

We Are Having Weather Take 2

A foggy day in Leyden, MA Photo: Alicia Hunsicker

Today is the first day of my new We are Having Weather
partnership with Anne Pehkonen from Finland. This photo was my first post.
If you would like to follow the posting between Anne and myself you can go to http://blog.weatherphotos.org/
and click on our group Anne (Finland) + Alicia (MA USA)


The project was originally on Blogger which inspired me to create this blog. It has now changed to Word press which is a little harder to navigate at least with dial up and a slow connection speed however I am sure I will get used to it and also it seems that word press has a few more features than Blogger. So I am learning about all sorts of stuff un-related to landscape photography. This has been a wonderful point of departure for me to expand in so many ways.

Artist Anne Pehkonen (Finland) will be my new "We are Having Weather" partner

My partner this time will be the artist Anne Pehkonen

From her website she describes herself "I am a Finnish visual artist. I live in Niva, a small village outside Joensuu city in eastern Finland, near the border of Russia. I work with used and discarded materials and natural materials. I also make performances, installations, videotapes, paintings, prints, drawings and photographs. In my work I combine the aesthetics of old objects and their previous histories with psychoanalytical interpretation of human life. "
