Tchotchkes are:
(Typically pronounced as "Chach-Kah") are small toys, gewgaws, knickknacks, baubles, lagniappes, trinkets, or kitsch. The term has a connotation of worthlessness or disposability, as well as tackiness[1][2], and has long been used in the Jewish-American community and in the regional speech of New York City.
So in an attempt to "clean out" after my latest trip to Nicaragua, I decided that if I photograph my jetsam, my tchotshke's then I can get rid of them.... well some of them.
So I've got a show that will be up in September from the 25-26 in the SOWA art walk in Boston.
Here's the postcard for the show....
So, I did this when I moved too, got rid of six bins of stuff from when I was a kid. I have to say I've gone back several times to find that stuff, and it was gone, so I'm not so sure it was a good idea, but I did it, and my house is lighter for it. So perhaps it will work again..... though my home is not sterile, and I like it that way... so all you neat freaks that like tidy stuff, get over it, I am who I am, and it's gonna stay that way... just a little more refined.
Alright, I got it off my chest. Now come to my show and have fun! It's gonna be a blast!
