vg6. Autumn Leaves; New City 2015. Filming the Exhibition Pieces

Saturday is Studio work day.  Since I had not done any photographing the opening last week, I started with the idea to film the work that is presently on display in Val Gal.  I had a brand new Optex PRT50 Summit Tripod to try out first.  The tripod was bought last Monday but I wanted to read the instructions and assemble it without breaking anything. So it stood carefully placed in its box in a corner of Rose Room.  Saturday morning was the first time I could bring myself to even attempt it.  I opened the box carefully and found no instructions.  A search on line to register the tripod bore no fruit.  the best I could was find it listed in the store products and sign up for the eletters on the store.  It said on the box, in big letters, five year guarantee, so I suppose I have to keep the store receipt.  There is no other proof of purchase.

That done I figured that I would just have to go by instinct and what I had learned to do with the other tripod.  After lunch I would film the Autumn Leaves: New City. 2015  exhibit.  Usually I film just on Sundays but I was behind schedule so I took Saturday to film just the artwork in the Corridor Gallery.  Sunday  I planned to go through the gallery again this time taking pictures of myself with the exhibit pieces.

I went downstairs and got the luggage trolley.  I had a wooden folding table and the tripod fit on it quite nicely without wobbling.  Last week I went to check out what was wrong with the tripod and found out the camera was broken and could not work properly with a tripod.  Cameras are expensive so I really didn't relish the fact of buying a new one.  Luckly my classic old Nikon Coolpix was in perfect working order at least in regards to the tripod.

I placed the camera on the tripod and the tripod on the trolley. I was a little shaky with how to use the legs which were long and had three moving pieces to adjust the height.  I eventually got all three legs equal and with the camera settings on Museum I pushed the trolley down the Hallway Gallery and took a  picture of each and every exhibition piece.  First one side, then the other.

The pictures came out fine to begin with.  I have the Sony photo app and the Windows app and with the both of them I did a fairly professional job of adjusting, straightening and cropping the images. Sony makes it easy to put the date on the pictures and I used a textbox with the Windows. to add my name. The computer adjustments are almost done and very soon the pictures will be ready to put on the social network.

I will be making some changes to some of the Corridor Gallery pieces.  When new ones come in I will film them individually.  Next Saturday I want to start on the Rose Studio Gallery work.  Monday I am going to join Gliffy charts on Google and I will be adding some beautifully colored  Art Fabio Co. organigrammes to decorate my room.à and organize my work.

Blogging My writing will focus on Money making projects such as ValGal and my Google Page My Clothes Right Now for Sale.

I have a lot of blog articles now so they are actually not my main priority.  Organizing pro...

VG14. Beautiful Charting by Kathy Fabian

Hello Dear Readers, This Saturday I decided to do charting.  I had been contacting the support team at Google for a problem about my balance.  I wanted to use my balance on Google Play to pay for a membership with Gliffy flow charts or Mindmeister Mind Maps.  It turned out you need to pay for Gliffy only with a credit card.  And Mindmaster could be bought with the Google Chrome store.  The Google Play store was a different kettle of fish.  I had put on $100.00 on Google play and I could not transfer it in any way to use for either of these mapping programs. I must have been on the phone for five hours trying to figure out how to pay with the Google Play points.  One hundred dollars is a lot of money and I had it budgeted for the mind mapping.  I did not want to buy anything else, no matter how seductive.  Anyways finally I realized they have a  whole lot of gift cards you can buy with the points so the money will be used and on budge...

V31. Living on Less, Ongoing Work, and Deciding the Kind of Exhibit. by Kathy Vivian Fabian

Continuing the Gallery with a Steep Cut in Income I started the new year with a steep cut in my living income.  The question is how to continue working on the gallery without spending as much money as I have in the past.  As I pass the artwork in the Corridor Lobby I see quite a lot of work to do without even having to frame the picture. Just after breakfast today, I cleaned up the identity tags.  there were some from last exhibit and some had not been installed yet.  That done I changed the position of two exhibits that had been not properly placed. I have received a few beautiful tapestries that I want to hang up.  But they are still in storage.  I also have two frames that are not finished.  I have been waiting until my budget permits.  Also, I have been working on inventory with an app I found called ArtMoi.com.  One of my drawings would fit nicely into one of the frames.  So I will work on that today. How to continue working...
