Comment: I never know were to start when I write comments about myself. I guess if I had to sum it up in a few words it would be ,I have had a great life and I wouldn't change a thing, well maybe a few things( would have done more) but as a whole I have been very happy. I have gotten to do it all and I'm still going. As a student I had learning problems, hyper etc. but I found out in the long run that ADHD people really do have more fun. My mind goes constanly...I still can't spell, can't write , but my creativity and imagination won't stop...I'm formely back in college,very active artist and most of my friends are artist with ADHD including my absent minded prof.What fun we have.I never knew school could be so much fun. What I do for work ( if you want to call it that) or what I do to get paid is i'm a documetary photographer. I have been documenting 3 generations of hippies for the last 3 years.The book we are working on will be called "Welcome Home". Every year I have to backpack up into a secluded area were over 20,000 hippies on July 4th meet to pray for world peace. Each year this hippy gathering will meet in an undiclosed area. Last year it was in Calf. high mountains .The backpack weight almost 50 lbs. with all the camera equipment etc.Go to Rainbow gathering 2004 if you are interested in what I'm doing. No I'm not a hippy but I am a free spirit person. I lived in Eugene Oregon a few years back and that's were I met the hippies and have been documenting them ever since. My husband Ray is a pilot and that adds to more adventure. Well This gives you insite of who I am now...well guess I was this way back in school too....Write if you like........OH! NO! No SPELL CHECK....well sorry I don't use a dictinary... it's so boring....Ellen Constant Ridenour
P.S. My artist friend told me once " You know the first time I met you I knew I would like you" and I said "How's that" and she said "because you had two different shoes on" so that sums me up. |
