Ann Rosener WPA Photographer

 

Once upon a time I was a photography teacher and I created a bunch of presentation to share with my students. 

Here is some info on Ann Rosener

Woman Photojournalist: Library Of Congress

More images and a bit of info at Shorpy Historic

Ann is not the most famous WPA photographer but she is certainly out there and her images are powerful documents of our country in a time of crisis.

Georgia Quilt Show 2010

Four years into doing shows and I think we created out best booth ever. My other mother, Barbara, insisted that I create a layout for this booth. Two weeks ago we were in Chantilly and I was a wreck, I keep rearranging the fixtures and I was never quite happy.  It took a lot of paper, crumble up and recycled, before I came up with a good open design.
So here is my paper draft:
 
So amazingly enough, it did not fit quite as drawn cause there were poles in the back, which I thought I accounted for and power cord issues BUT!
Here is the finished booth:

And Another View:

Wow! it took a long time to build this booth, mostly cause it was so different from our previous booths but I really love it and folks can see all the wonderful patterns and fabric.
Just as an aside, we did cover all the understock and boxes before the customers arrived.
Thanks Mom Barbara for pushing me to build a better booth. And Thanks Georgia Quilt Council and all the amazing folks who stopped in to shop, this was our best show this year!
