Melissa’s Show


Hello everyone our very own (and very special) Melissa has a solo photo exhibit at the Yorktowne Hotel. Her work is displayed in the dining section which I believe is the Off Center Grill. MMMmmmMm. We met on Saturday for a quaint little opening reception which was lovely and very fun. Melissa we are so very proud of you. Your photos are amazing, and all that hard work …it put smiles on all our faces.
For those of you that couldn’t make it (shame shame) we'll let it slide... this time because her stuff will be up for alllll of September. So there is still time!!! They have amazing food and drinks (shockingly affordable). By the way, its probably one of the more relaxing places to eat in York, PA. at least I thought so…oh and they have a patio!

hats / incompetent

here are some of our projects!
I really had such a fun time, I think my cheeks even cramped up from smiling at one point that night.
I wanted to send out a special thank you to everyone; this was our first PG13 artnite (my niece maddy tug along) so thanks everyone for dropping a few less F-bombs, it didn’t go unnoticed. Another thanks for helping her get over being a little shy come project time (Adam! You rule). One last shout out to those brave newbies that came, and actually brought freaking awesome projects….I hope you guys had fun and are planning your return.
Melissa and Jason, your house looked great and your new lighting set up is way way WAY impressive. Can’t wait to see how far you get next month, thanks for opening your doors to us.
Until next time…

REAL
by Ivy Cox

Real.
What is real? ... Is is what we can see?
"Did you see that?" ... "Oh my gosh, I can't believe it! It just disapeared into thin air!" ... "How could that be?" ..."That just can't be real!"

What is real? ... Is it what we can hear?
"Did you hear what he said?" ... "There's no way, dude!" ... "That didn't sound like him at all!" ... "That's not what I heard." ... "I don't believe it." ... "It couldn't have been real."

What is real? ... Is it what we can smell?
"Do you smell that?" ... "I don't smell anything." ... "It smells like cat pee." ... "My house doesn't smell like cat pee! It must be in your head. I don't smell it at all!" ... "I'm sorry, but that stink is real! Real bad."

What is real? ... Is it what we can taste?
"You've got to taste this! Close your eyes, and tell me what you think." ... "Umm, I can't taste anything, I've got a cold!" ... "This crab meat, it's sooo awesome!" ... "Hey, did you read this can? It's the fake stuff. It's not even real crab meat!" ... "But it tasted so real!?"

What is real? ... Is it what we can touch?
"Feel this coat." ... "Oh my, is soooo soft! Is is rabit?" ... "Nope." ... "Mink?" ... "Nope." ... "Well it must be real fur, it's so perfect feeling! What it is? ... "It's all synthetic. Fake". ... "Wow, I could have sworn it was real!"

What is real? ... Is it what we feel?
"This is it. This is real. I'm in love!" ... "Oh yeah? Do you guys have lots to talk about?" ... "Well we don't talk too much, but when he looks and me and smiles, I get all tingley inside!" ... "Do you guys do lots of things together you enjoy?" ... "Yeah, lately, we've been at his house all day makin' lots of love!" ... "Hmm. Well do you have anything in common?" ... "Well, I dunno, but this feeling has got to be real love. It's incredible!" ... "Um, I hate to say this, but that is just the feeling of lust, lieing to you. What your feeling,,, isn't real."

So, what is real? As our senses diseive us what can be know to be real? Is it simply personal opinion? Does every person have and create their own reality? Our thoughts, our feelings... are they real? What is our soul, our concience? Are they real? How do we know? ... What's your REAL?
