Princess of the Lake
Well, if you know anything about me at all, you know that it takes me a LONGGGGG time to decide on something that will be decorative for my house. I've been in my condo for five years, and I have only a few "new" pieces of furniture, and very few things on the walls (and only ONE room painted).
Well, as you also know, I am really very involved in a photography portfolio website, where most of the photographers are a LOT better than I am. One of my favorite photographers, Darrin James, recently put a notice on his portfolio that any profit made from the sale of certain of his images would be donated to a particular tsunami relief organization. Many of his photos are from trips to Southeast Asia. (He lives in London.)
Well, this image that has been a favorite of mine since I started my portfolio on that site a couple of years ago happened to be one of the images in question. So, I contacted Darrin via e-mail, he and I used PayPal for me to pay him (it's amazing how easy it is to pay someone in British pounds as PayPal easily converts the U.S. dollar!!), and I received the photo a couple of weeks ago. I had it professionally framed, and it is now hanging on my livingroom wall. AND I LOVE IT!!!! :-)
