Area Farmer’s Markets

It is Summer and most of the local Farmer's Markets are open for business again! By shopping at farmer's markets, you are supporting your local farmers, which in turn is keeping the money you spend on food closer to your neighborhood. Usually picked at the peak of growing season, the produce will taste fresh and amazing!

Buying local also means your food is not shipped over hundreds or thousands of miles to your grocer, keeping your footprint on the planet small!

Take advantage of the different locations, you never know what you'll find at each one!

Below is a list of Farmer's Markets in our area:

• North Charleston

Felix C. Davis Community Center (middle of Park Circle) Every Thursday from Noon - 7:00PM

• Goose Creek

150 Howe Hall Rd Every Saturday from 8:00AM - 2:00PM

• Charleston

Marion Square (329 Meeting Street) Every Saturday from 8:00AM - 2:00PM

• Mount Pleasant

Moultrie Middle School (Coleman Blvd. & Simmons St) Every Tuesday from 3:30PM - Dusk

Camp Good Times is a nonprofit organization allowing local children touched by autism to have a typical summer experience along with their peers. Camp Good Times was founded in 1979 by a group of parents of children with autism and is the only camp in the Lowcountry devoted exclusively to children with autism and their friends. Our counselors are trained in the field and design programs to promote socialization, opportunities for children to explore their community during planned outings, and just be kids.

The World Through My Eyes

http://carsonlawsonphotography.blogspot.com/p/artist-statement.html?m=1 What am I doing? (Types of pictures) I am expressing my emotions without having to verbally explain them. I mostly enjoy takingpictures of nature. Taking pictures of nature helps me see things differently from everyone else. With me having Asperger’s my mind works different from other peoples. My photography tells more about me then my mouth ever could.

How am I doing it? I express my emotions through photography. This means that I use the elements and principles of design to create a certain emotion. My feelings toward a photograph can be different from the feelings of the person sitting next to me.

Why am I doing it? I take photographs to get things off of my mind. I also take pictures because it is an easy way to express some of the thoughts that I have. I don’t fully understand some of the thoughts that run through my mind. Photography gives me the opportunity to forget about the problems I am facing. It also allows me think about how I can respond to them better.

What influences me most? I have many influences that inspire me. One of the things that I find inspiring is the simple fact that lifeis not always as you see it. I find a couple of people that inspire me because they always want me to do my best. They also want to see me succeed. I find myself to be influenced by nature. My great grandfather has 188 acres of land in Thompson, Georgia. I often get my best ideas on how to compose a picture while I sit on the rocks by the waterfall. My emotions play a key role in the type of pictures I take. Last year, I became depressed and started cutting myself. During the course of the year I noticed that my photographs were often of people showing emotion. I struggled with the “happiness” project. But through the pictures of my cuts, I was able to find happiness. I found this because I noticed how delicate skin really is. I also noticed how time changes things. Over the course of the project, I took photographs of my healing cuts.

How does my art relate to the art of my contemporaries?

(Modern artists, photographers, peers) To be completely honest, I don’t compare my photographs to other peoples.

To me photography is a way of showing people as well as yourself, what truly matters. Two people can take the same picture but the feelings towards the picture can be completely different.

What do I want other people to understand about my art?

I want other people to understand that I do not take pictures just because I can. I started taking photography last year and it has had a major impact on my life. With me being in photography I have been a lot happier then I was before. I feel like I now have a purpose in life. I have found something that makes me happy.

Photography makes me feel better about myself.

Am I unwilling to discuss any aspects of my work? If so, why?

Yes, there are some aspects of my photography that I will not discuss with people unless I trust them. I am not willing to discuss some of my photography because it is very personal. I try to communicate my ideas and feelings to others through my photography. I mentioned above that I often take pictures of nature. I was curious why I always went outside after I cut myself.

When I was outside I forgot about everything. So after my mental breakdown I went outside to take pictures. Like I mentioned above, I take photography to express myself. I don’t want everyday people to know everything about me.
