"Why the Sunflower, Sue?"</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a bit surprised no one ever asked me that before...why do I have a sunflower as my logo?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It started with a drive to Coventry one day and I passed a field of sunflowers in Somers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cameras make you bold sometimes and I have not been shy to just get out, walk and shoot.</div>

But besides that...the sunflower reminds me of my camera...always reaching for the light, and the shutter of the lens and the pattern on the sunflower have similarities in their structure. The Fibonnaci sequence in the sunflower, the lens uses a geometric sequence. Good photos have an element of the Golden Mean as do the patterns in nature. </div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I made a mental note to try to find them again on the way back.</div><div style="text-align: center;">GPS doesn't always have the same idea as I do, and may have re-routed me a different way back </div><div style="text-align: center;">than the way I had originally gone.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But...I tinkered with my really bad sense of direction </div><div style="text-align: center;">(I only know North from South due to moss and you can't see that real well when you are driving.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As luck would have it, I found myself in the right area, albeit the wrong side of the Angel Road.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wandered around a stunning Resting Place (hard to call it a cemetery or graveyard)</div><div style="text-align: center;">and practiced some HDR techniques.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some results. Not altered except for the combination of 3 exposures.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Some things appeared that I sensed but not suspected.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wandered around a beautiful area that went from the 1700's to present day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I eventually found the Angels on my departure...on the other side of the road.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">A different view of history through the eyes of the loved ones that honored the ones passed. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Bridges 501c3 is the Non-profit that runs the <a href="http://www.coventryfarmersmarket.com/" target="_blank">Coventry Regional Farmers' Market</a> and more.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">There are a few variations of the logo.

</div>SueMuldoonImageshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10582080733144482315noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5989010730394911121.post-28275053398080406682012-02-16T17:50:00.000-08:002012-02-17T10:01:14.830-08:00The Cobbler with no shoes.... A bit of introspection...<br />
<br />
I am SO GUILTY of the words that describe "the cobbler with no shoes" To the point that I Googled to see where the phrase originated. There were many entries, but here are two...<br />
<br />
"Origin unknown; however the essence of this phrase is used to describe the phenomenon where certain 'professionals' in any given area are so busy with work for their clients and their teams that they neglect using their professional skills to help themselves or those closest to them. For example - the painter & decorator who never decorates his own house, the web designer that hasn't finished their website, or the accountant who is late in submitting his own tax return!"<br />
<br />
"“<i>The cobbler’s children have no shoes</i>” means that a professional may by employed in helping his clients. He/she may be industrious and preoccupied with his/her work. He/she is obsessed and engaged with making his business succeed, but when comes to doing his/her professional work at home, nothing is done."<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"> </span><br />
Or the marketer and graphic designer who does for others before she does for herself. <br />
<br />
Yes...guilty...I advocate blogs. I design blogs. I have done well with Facebook because it is a DAILY HABIT. I check it multiple times. I "admin" and design many pages. It is an "instant gratification" media. But my BLOG? Sorely under-used and not quite updated. Because like anyone in their own professional field there is the "do as I say, not as I do" challenge.<br />
<br />
One of my latent 2012 resolutions is to make some personal and professional changes. Yeah, the treadmill activity is a bit more further behind than the blog activity...but I'm working on it, you know? (<a href="http://www.trekdesk.com/">http://www.trekdesk.com</a>/ is on my radar. I want one.)<br />
<br />
Social Media expertise takes more determination than people realize. It is not a light and fluffy, casual "'l'll get to it" format. It requires scheduling. If it is your business to market, I suggest a schedule. The kind with a check-off and accountability list. Logging results. Checking stats. Seeing who your recipients/potential customers are.There are so many free "insights" applied to Social Media today you would be adverse not to utilize and embrace them. Hoard them actually. After all..IT's FREE STUFF!<br />
<br />
I am teaching some classes soon and I was sorely aware that I had not updated my recent experiences and skills on my web-page information. (bad Sue) Can you say "back-burner"? which is not as urgent as "meet your clients deadline!"<br />
<br />
My own descriptors of what I "do" and "Can do" and "have done"were lackluster. I have added skill sets not represented on my website 6 months to a year ago. Mostly because I love to learn. At least a couple/few new things a day. This industry moves fast. If you don't try to keep up with it, it is easy to lose track. 20 years ago change may have occured at a 2-3 year clip. Today it can be measured in months or days. Sometimes hours"You snooze you loose" has been exponentially speeded up. "Warp speed, Mr Zulu" comes to mind. (BTW George Takei recently hit a MILLION Facebook followers)<br />
<br />
That combined with my volunteer opportunities (not obligations) at the <a href="http://www.coventryfarmersmarket.com/" target="_blank">Coventry Regional Farmers Market</a> in it's recent state of flux and change, my "day job" in floral wholesale and my Grandma duties with the squeezable little Jacob...would easily explain my absence. Not justify mind you...just explain.<br />
<br />
"So , without further adieu"...I promise that tomorrow I will post for you...what has been happening in my world, in particular the business world of www.suemuldoonimages.com<br />
<br />
There are some really awesome graphics about. Collaborations and flat-out inspirations.<br />
<br />
You can see some recent updates before I blog them at <a href="http://www.suemuldoonimages.com/Portfolio/Graphic-Portfolio/18940486_t7NDKm#%21i=1470004034&k=7RVjMMB" target="_blank">www.suemuldoonimages.com</a> <br />

PS...I'll leave you with one of my most peaceful mornings. After a day of family medical dilemma followed by P&Z meetings and a stressful snow drive 2 hours home (about a 20 hour day)... I grabbed the camera the next insomniac morning and walked through a snow-dusted orchard. Divine.<br />

It took a year to take photos behind the scenes at the farms and businesses of the <a href="http://coventryfarmersmarket.com/">Coventry Regional Farmer's Market</a>, and our <a href="http://coventryfarmersmarket.smugmug.com/">Market Roots Gallery</a> has made it's debut! It will be traveling for at least a year, on the average of once a month to some fantastic venues.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Photos at Comstock by: Liss Flint; Market Roots Organizer, Dot Drobney, </div><div style="text-align: center;">Laura Stone, June Mita, Amy Benson and myself.<br />

<br />
There are 25 canvas prints, 16x20 in size and<br />
each one is accompanied by either a description or a written piece from the farm itself.<br />
<br />
You will love what Susan Park's wrote...but you have to go there to see it! <br />
<br />
We had a Grand Opening with food, excellent music by <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/hannahfair">Hannah Fair</a> and her friends, and about 100 folks. A voice so rich.....link to listen.<br />
<br />
<br />
It was also the soft opening for our <a href="http://coventryfarmersmarket.smugmug.com/">"Market Roots ...through the year, through the lens</a>" Website Debut!<br />
This portion will exhibit through the month of June. What an honor to be included in Comstock Ferre & Co's 200th Anniversary exhibit.<br />
<br />
Thanks go out to <a href="http://www.markhambennett.com/">Markham Bennet</a> at <a href="http://www.smugmug.com/">SmugMug</a> , who donated two years of hosting so we could get our project rolling, and to Kathy at <a href="http://www.nvdesertdesigns.com/">http://www.nvdesertdesigns.com/</a> for assisting us with the website customization.<br />
Thank you for the fantastic support! You ARE Smugmug heroes! All of our Market Roots photographers host with Smugmug, and love the outstanding service. It made sense to go right to "the best" for our Market Roots website.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://flintprintsphotography.smugmug.com/">Liss Flint</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/winter.caplanson">Winter Caplanson</a> had a daunting job of going through THOUSANDS of pictures to select 1500 representative photos for the galleries. Liss did an amazing job getting them on the website! It is no small task. The great news is, CRFM is now a 501c3, a non-profit organization, and can expand on what is already built. <br />
<br />
The Market Roots Program is an educational venue, and the gallery is just the beginning.<br />
The photographers who spent all the time taking the photographs volunteered and allowed the photos to be sold via the website.The profits from the sales will be going to the CRFM and it's educational endeavors. <br />
<br />
We did, of course...get to go to some wonderful behind-the scenes tours we may not have been able to see unless we were volunteers. A BIG THANK YOU to the farms and businesses that let us photograph! The Market Roots photographers have also agreed to give the farms hi-res copies of the photos, for their own use for marketing.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Ending to this blog!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
Every week, Winter or Summer, I look forward to going to the Coventry Regional Farmer's Market as much as time will allow.<br />
<br />
It nourishes my body and soul. The food , the crafts, the delights for the sense with the aromas, the visual playground and the tastes overlap and delight.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here, you find real food and products, produced with integrity and love. Local. Regional. Hometown.<br />
Supporting the local economy.<br />
<br />
But an amazing thing happened when when I went more often and became familiar with all of the vendors and organizers.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">THE COMMUNITY</span><br />
<br />
I began taking pictures at the market in the summer. It was a visual delight and everywhere I turned there was something more amazing to focus on. I submitted some photos to the website. I became acquainted with the rest of the photographers and the Market Masters.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6xzBoPWplHZEfhSxWjPGcRvmF04Wdw4EnfPXztla-bzXkvzTOjJ41e3JtqKEvMhGmYmOqfhvqHSHK8gE2c4xHnxmVephunabnkMMdOfJr6Nf7VkjBmkoyu7GZUrhks-lJ92CNSB_xQT6/s1600/28.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6xzBoPWplHZEfhSxWjPGcRvmF04Wdw4EnfPXztla-bzXkvzTOjJ41e3JtqKEvMhGmYmOqfhvqHSHK8gE2c4xHnxmVephunabnkMMdOfJr6Nf7VkjBmkoyu7GZUrhks-lJ92CNSB_xQT6/s320/28.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
When they announced they were looking for volunteers to photograph and document the farms and "behind the scenes" of the market vendors, I raised my hand quickly!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"> "Market Roots" is a photographic project sleeping, ready to birth, waiting for a corporate sponsor. </div><div style="text-align: left;">It will be a photographic journey through the farms and artisans that make up the market.</div><div style="text-align: left;">We want everyone to know where their local food comes from.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">That was "Project One" for me. I went to <a href="http://www.farmfresh.org/food/farm.php?farm=2674">Windham Gardens</a>, <a href="http://fourfieldsfarm.weebly.com/">Four Fields Farms</a> and <a href="http://www.susanparks.com/">Rich Valley Farms</a>.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I was able to meander through fields of fresh summer flowers, rows of gorgeous lettuces of every color, and </div><div style="text-align: left;">play with baby goats (triplets and quadruplets) and go through the whole milking, feeding, </div><div style="text-align: left;">and cheese-making process. Here are a couple pictures from the market, </div><div style="text-align: left;">the actual Market Roots pictures will be released in the near future.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</a></div><span style="font-size: large;">HERE COMES THE GOOD PART!</span><br />
<br />
But truly the most amazing event to come out of the market and it's community is the rally and the outpouring of support for<a href="http://topmost%20herb%20farm/"> Topmost Herb Farm</a> after Carole Miller's greenhouse was crushed by the weight of the February snows that rocked the weather record books. Almost 35 volunteers gathered for a day of dismantling the demolished greenhouse to make way for a new one.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">AN AUCTION IS BORN </span><br />
<br />
A rapid rally ensued and anyone and everyone who knows Carole through the market began to put ideas together to try and find a way to replace her greenhouse, that is key to her business. It is where she starts her herbs and Heirloom Tomatoes. Click on the picture below to see a small gallery of photos from the Tomato Festival at the market. Carole was sampling her delicious Heirloom Tomatoes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://suemuldoonimages.smugmug.com/Other/Topmost-herb-Farm/15989962_AHMbo#1199424380_ZhDkc"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrPPrM3L8IEkaS4xd_nHhZPZlSSSTzi7r2YjTUavDpBk6KPNQEl823nSqNYJEiukwtSeuU-4PL9yYpiQixRVhD9Z52Br6XRelUWmk4dKAP51WhAbN4JgiQ0kl8ywk7Dsxvjojomf4rn-yZ/s400/IMG_9185.jpg" width="266" /> Topmost gallery</a></div><br />
Supporter, volunteers and Market Masters brainstormed and delved into different possibilities and we collectively agreed to take a deep breath, visualize, trust and we dove in and started the auction process.<br />
<br />
We choose <a href="http://www.biddingforgood.com/">Bidding For Good</a> for a number of reasons. It is a good fit. As soon as the word spread via <a href="http://www.facebook.com/CoventryFarmersMarket">CRFM's Facebook page</a> and <a href="http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=393f4cbdfc&id=13d37509e8&e=9c2649666c">newsletter</a>, the auction took off at a rapid pace. The power of Social Networking and love (not in any particular order!) First 10, then 20, and finally up to 140 donations of auction items poured in. Stunning artwork, photography, food, services, unique experiences like learning to make maple syrup at the sugar house, or sitting in on Faith Middleton's show. Within 2 days we have raised over $4000. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/winter.caplanson?ref=ts">Winter Caplanson</a> , one of the Market Masters has been a non-stop whirlwind and the driving force that has organized and rallied her Community "posse" to come to the rescue.<br />
<br />
The Auction will run from Friday February 25th to March 4th. An extra <a href="http://coventryfarmersmarket.com/">Winter Market </a>at the Coventry High School will extend the Winter season with one more market day full of additional opportunities to support the project and allow auction winners the opportunity to pick up their winnings at the market.<br />
<br />
The "Good Ending" to this story? The greenhouse will be rebuilt in a Community effort on May Day, complete with Maypole and a Pot-luck. With over $4000 raised in less than 2 days so far, I'm certain we will meet our goal of $7500. <br />

I will let you know how much we raise after the tally on March 6th. There is a week to shop and auction! One of the auction items from me is a <a href="https://www.biddingforgood.com/auction/item/Item.action?id=126596505">Social Media Package</a> which will teach you how to make and upkeep a BLOG...like this...and <a href="https://www.biddingforgood.com/auction/item/Item.action?id=126596466">20 photo gift cards suitable for framing</a>, and <a href="https://www.biddingforgood.com/auction/item/BuyNow.action?id=126596476">$50 gift certificates to Miya's Sushi</a><br />

I recently had the pleasure of going to a concert to visit friends in Gwynedd, PA. The Gwynedd Meeting Hall holds a coffeehouse series<br />
and folks packed in to hear the fine music of Red Hen. Good music, coffee, baked treats..and me snapping away with the camera, as usual!<br />
<br />
The following day we packed everything up and went to the historic Havertown Grange grounds to take some more photos. It is a beautiful building and grounds. They played some tunes, much to the surprise of<br />
staff, who welcomed them with open arms and even opened the doors of the building to facilitate some cool shots!<br />
<br />
Jane Rothfield and Allan Carr live in Havertown PA, they are my long-time friends. Linda Schrade and David Kiphuth live near Albany NY and they are my new friends! Together they create the most amazing music.<br />
<br />
I was so inspired by the music and the photos, I knew I had to put them together in one place. After searching out a few different programs, I decided on one suggested to me by Terri Krisavage at <a href="http://www.tkandbrownsflowers.com/">TK&Brown's Florist</a>.<br />
Many hours of editing and learning curve later, I am pleased to present "Both Sides Of The Road" in a format for all to enjoy.<br />

I know this from experience, because I don’t really have any good photos of my own floral design work.</b></div><div style="border-width: 0px; color: white; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; outline-style: none; padding: 0px;"><b style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; outline-style: none; padding: 0px;"><br style="outline-style: none;" /></b></div><div style="border-width: 0px; color: white; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; outline-style: none; padding: 0px;"><b style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; outline-style: none; padding: 0px;"> Here’s the scenario: You’re worried about the Bride, the venue, the execution, the timing and you’re probably in a rush to get out the door because you are finessing the details then playing “beat the clock”.

Unless you receive some quality photos from the Bride’s photographer, you have lo-res grainy images of your hard work. Beauty, misplaced.

I have a keen eye for design and I have changed my “focus” from 3-dimensional to 2-dimensional. I have family that now calls me “geeky”…because I spend so much time behind a computer. Have camera and laptop, will travel. A few years of graphic marketing for a previous company was the seed of inspiration to pursue this.</b><br />

I have been blessed to work with some incredible designers and venues recently.<span style="color: white;"> Special thanks to Thom and Marcy Green of Dragonfly Events and Helena Willis of Perfect Princess Events. Their feedback and encouragement has enabled me to grace the web page with phenomenal images. The Coventry Regional Farmer's Market has been a photography playground with it's amazing local vendors and community. I am enjoying new friendships with incredibly talented and supportive growers, marketers and photographers.</span></b><br />
