Updates Galore

I'm back with lots of updates!

First of all, there's a new gallery on KdReinhold.com This is a gallery dedicated to my newest love, cemetery art. Yes, it may seem a little morbid but cemetery art is a very interesting subject. While most of it is all based on the same things (angels, crosses, and the like) most of it is unique in their own right. Everyone has their own take on death and remembering their loved ones and you can really see that in the art you can find in cemeteries. The art can also tells a good deal about the ethnicity of the person, for example, a Celtic Cross could mean that the person is of an Irish background. I just find it all very interesting. It has it's own place in the art world.

In other news, my boyfriend came and visited me over Christmas and as a gift he got me the Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro lens I've been craving for months. The focus on it is amazing, it's really smooth and the dial turns flawlessly. It's the most amazing lens I own and it quickly became my favorite. Thanks, Jon!

Here's an image taken with my new lens.

And just in case anyone wanted to know, there's a contest and art show coming up this Saturday at Framations in Saint Charles. It's the same one I earned an honorable mention for The Tree Stands Alone last year. This year, Beyond the Lens III is being held at Framations from January 10th to February 8th. The opening is this Saturday from 1pm to 4pm with awards being held at 2:30pm. I have three pieces in the show and I hope to see you there!
