When Dreams Come True

Artist Wendy Hille is living her dream.  Five years ago she went on holiday with her husband and a couple of friends.  Their destination was a rental at Stonington Point in the Borough.  It was love at first sight.  By the end of the vacation they were already talking about giving up their home in Hebron and moving down to the shore permanently.  Shortly after returning home, they put their house on the market and returned to Stonington Borough.  Renting the same house where they had been vacationing, they began the search for their new home.

Today Wendy lives in Mystic, along with husband Mike, and Colby, their yellow lab.  She enjoys her job teaching art in two local elementary schools and in her spare time creates the signs, beach inspired art, and decorative objects that began with her graduate exhibit for her Masters from Central Connecticut State University.

High Hopes and a Connecticut Christmas

Back in December I had the opportunity to photograph "A Connecticut Christmas" at High Hopes.  In addition to being a food drive, this was also a special event to benefit Tiffany Farm.  You may read all about it on Ann Nyberg's blog, Annie Mame.  Here are some of the images I took for the event's coordinators.

Full Background Disclosure

 My friend Christine (see her fabulous jewelry at www.ChristineMighion.com) was telling me it frustrated her that the layout didn't allow her to see more of the photo used as the background.  So in the interest of 'full background disclosure' - here it is. This is an image I took last summer, on the terrace of Branford House, at Avery Point, in Groton, CT.

What's in a name?

How to name a blog about nothing and everything?  Good question.  The world has shrunk, by months to microseconds, in the time it takes to communicate with someone on the other side.  And our tastes, as well as our expectations, have become that much more sophisticated, too.

This is our milieu; the environment, the culture, the lifestyle in which we live.

We trademark, and brand, and publicize ourselves through social media, to distinguish what we have to offer from millions of others who now exist in our immediate world.

Our 'Milieu' is about media consulting.  What does it take to shine in a world where your 'immediate environment' now includes someone in California, or China.  Your milieu now is about who relates to you on an integral level instead of who lives next door, or down the street.
