You are all in for a very special treat! One our flock, Ruth Ruddock, who’s a major contributor to our discussions here on The Canary Report, has sent me a catalog of her beautiful photos that she’d like me to share with you. This is the first in the series. Isn’t it beautiful?
Hi, I’m Ruth Ruddock, and I live just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I have had MCS since October, 2002…at least that is when it first reared up enough to notice. After my husband died in Feb. 2005, I was at a loss for what to do with myself, not being able to go out and work regularly….my daughter gave me her old digital camera when she got a new one, and I started experimenting with it. I found that I really had an eye for photos and this is some of what I have been doing.
I started gluing the photos onto card stock and selling them to friends and family members….and branched out to shops in the area. It is very small scale, but has helped with food and gas costs over the past three years. I now attend a monthly photography club meeting and have met some really nice people through that.
If anyone would like to see more, or order some cards from me, drop me an email at ruthsansmcs(at)hotmail(dot)com and I will get back to you.
I’ve found that when one has MCS, it is good to have a passion for something that distracts you and that you can do without too much difficulty.
My best to you all,
Ruth
Pretty! I love digital photography too, because it is totally non toxic!!!!
I probably helped along my MCS rear it’s head from spending a few years in a photo dark room…. woo, how did I ever do that?
Wait til you guys see the rest of the Ruth’s photos! But I am going to post them s-l-o-w-l-y, make you want more! Heh.
I love digital photography, and videos, too! Leslie, you’ve taken some really beautiful shots in your garden that you’ve posted on your blog. Your bug and nature shots are awesome. I’m glad you got out of the dark room, pleh.
