Laumeier marks the start of my 2011 Art fair season during mothers days weekend. I end my last season of the One of the Kind Chicago. In this time, I had several set backs with a death of an Uncle. While getting the inventory and load the van for the event was easy getting my mind set was difficult.
Thinking about gas prices and considering that I only have 4 local shows has make me wondering about pricing. Think about how the economy has improve but the gas prices. Thinking about my regular job. Thinking how I had choose to separate my life, the shows and work apart is eating a life. Thinking about the time I will in the road without my wife. Thinking can I do it as photographer.
It is difficult to get started but I should be fine after the second one. It will be great season. It will be my best season ever. I feel that soul will be free since I love doing art shows.
Should I consider doing shows all year around. I may not have a choice in that matter.
Whatever happen, I will be very happy because is what makes my soul feel happy other than expending time with my wife.

Have a great season Oscar! Hope our paths cross again this year. Always enjoy seeing you... and your work of course! (however I do have one of your photos in my studio so I see it every day!).
The gas prices aren't impacting me as much as the silver market! So hard to keep up with pricing especially for the wholesale line. But, it forces me to find new sources, new designs, etc. I try not to hyperventilate when ordering supplies!
