WEEKEND REFLECTIONS - REFLECTIONS, LOOK-ALIKES, THEY WERE EVERYWHERE TODAY IN AND AROUND UNION SQUARE PARK, NEW YORK CITY, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10th...
I once wanted a Website but I found blogging instead! My longtime friend in Australia, Rinkly Rimes was/is blogging a poem a day, and I was inspired by the notion that one could, using new tools, create something visually and be published instantly! My first blog ended because of a scam attack. However, I was hooked. (You can still see it at http://mgosden.blogspot.com for blogs through September 2009). I had started my working life as a reporter in the UK, became an artist-printmaker at the Corcoran School of Art, Washington DC in the 60s and got an education at Hofstra University, Long Island in the 70s My new tools, include an Imac and a digital camera. My oldest tools, a printing press and an etching plate. Sometimes I write. I feel fortunate to have lived long enough to have grown into this wonderful age of technology. What I have learned in the past was all an unrealized preparation for creatively using the miracle inventions of the Apple computer and internet! My family includes a son, Harry, and Daughter, Sarah, with young families of their own. John Gosden, himself a computer pioneer in the 1950s, died in 2003.
