Hey there! I slept in, took the day off and making new beads just for me to wear. I've been holed up in my air conditioned room and I am still resting up from being at the Ingenuity Fest in downtown Cleveland this past weekend. My friend Charles Burkett stopped by the Fest on Saturday, July 26 and I didn't realize he was there and taking pics just inches from me until he called out my name and I looked up. I know him as an entrepreneur, business man and art collector and last week I was delighted to find out that he is a talented photographer and is a member of the Cleveland Photographic Society among other organizations. By the way, Charles is accepting freelance photography assigments.
