Life in the Pumpkin
Shell's photostream
|
I'm a scriptwriter/novelist living in Indiana, USA.
Currently working on a novel, raising Jack & Pick, teaching myself guitar & piano, learning herbalism, planning next year's gardens, training for a half marathon& Warrior Dash with Tom, reading Norse mythology and listening to a lot of Punk/Metal Rock. (As of February, 2011)
I'm going through a late thirties "personal revolution," you might have guessed.
I read that people like me can be called itinerant artists. We love anything creative until everyone else is doing it, and then we move on for awhile. Photography is the one that never goes away.
I have a lovely home with Tom, the kids, two mini stallions, three dogs and our cat Stan (three gardens, a compost heap, my chipmunk totem who lives outside my bathroom door (he's also a perv), & the hawks who stalk the back 4), but creativity can't seem to tie me down to one love.
These pictures started out as a supplement to my blog. Now they've turned into a serious hobby.
I've met a lot of great people thanks to Flickr.
I blog. Life in the Pumpkin Shell
I am also on Google+ now. (And Twitter, I guess.)

"I love the great photos. I always think I don't have time to look at everything but then, I can't help it. Ange show life. Sometimes that life is cute and funny and old fashion, thank goodness. Not that she ever white washes things but she never black washes them either. I feel a part of the family.
I love Ange's writings. Please visit her blog if you get the chance. I don't know how such a young whipper snapper can speak so close to my heart.
Thank you for being you, Ange. You are my hero."3rd June, 2008

Big Whiskey says:
"Ange is a great photographer and mother. She captures her family and the things around her with skill and care. She has a passion for art and life.
She also made me grill at a cook out at her place the first time I was there. It was either that or watch her deck burn."13th February, 2008

"Ange has been bitten by the flickr bug and I am grateful, as we all should be! She is a phenomenal photographer and an inspirational, energetic, brutally/beautifully honest, creative, comical, deep-reaching, and thought-provoking writer. A visit to her photostream or her blog is a visit to the qualities that make life worthwhile. She is an amazing person to whom we are lucky to have a view of her world through. Thank you for sharing all your pictures and your stories! You are appreciated and loved more than you know."

"If you've ever been a kid, or know one, you won't be able to help but smile when you see Pumpkin's pictures of her beautiful kids. If you're looking for a grin to spread across your face, go through her pictures."

Keep up the good work - we're happy to just be along for the ride!"

"Life in the Pumpkin Shell is a Flickrer's Flickrer. When something captures her interest, she jumps in cannonball-style, stays immersed, makes it look like so much fun that it's impossible not to jump in after her.
It's not just about the art of photography; it's about the people. Life in the Pumpkin Shell takes a fun forum for photographic expression and turns it into community. Supportive and encouraging, she promotes others while graciously "oh, shucksing" her well deserved accolades.
It's been fascinating, over the months, to watch the development of her discerning eye. The woman can frame a still shot beautifully; her action captures are inspiring. What I truly appreciate is that her love of family and warmth of spirit always shine through."24th September, 2006

Chepner says:
"The Life in the Pumpkin Shell's photostream is more than just random photos of her children - EVERY photo is a work of art. Without children of my own, I love to visit her photostream for a glimpse through the eyes of not only a loving mother but an artist. Each visit reminds my husband and I why we continue to try to start our own family.
Thank you for bringing joy to so many through your photos and writing!!!"13th September, 2006

"Truly one of the finest photostreams on Flickr. Her stream is not merely pixels on a screen, like so many others. It's life. It's real. It shows a glimpse into the best of America, and the love that this wonderful and beautiful family shares with each other - and thankfully, the world. It shows me why I wear this uniform, what I am fighting for, and what I would gladly lay my life down for: the Toms, Jacks, Pickles and Anges of America. Oh, and her writing? It's phenomenal. And that's an understatement. Take a look at Life in the Pumpkin Shell. With either genre (which are intertwined), you won't be disappointed."

"Simply...Inspirational. Her photostreams inspire; be better to our children, be better to our families and be better to our world. She inspires happiness, for a child's smile brings nothing less. I one, am greatful that she shares so much of their private lives with so many. Thank you for the opportunity to say thanks for the wonderful and inspirational images. Our children are our legacy!"

"life is just so much better after a session viewing the Pumpkin Shell... if all the parents showed the love of these two this world would be soooooo much better. It is so evident ,and the two little pumpkins will be good people and raise their families with love like they were shown. Thank you so much for showing us a bit of your lives and sharing your smiles so we can smile too"
