Respite

My creative effort from yesterday. I was sitting in the garden, enjoying the summer afternoon when Barney decided to join me. For a dog on death row, he is doing remarkably well. I see no evidence of his cancer. I see lots of evidence of his age. He woke me up twice last night to do his business. He wanted…

It’s Like I Always Have You Around

I didn’t realize your hair had changed. So, I went back to look at the recent photos I just took and found these that I hadn’t processed. So many lovely moments. I feel rather fortunate (as opposed to lucky) to be a photographic artist. I can make images that will constantly remind me of friends like you. It’s like I…

What Will I Be When I Grow Up?

Birthdays are weird. When I younger I used to wonder what I would be when I grew up. I spent much of my youth dazed and confused, even my time at Hunter/Miller. At a certain point I realized I was grown up and this was my life. The next phase was working on getting my act together. The pieces all…

Thought Walks

I understand feeling like a lump sometimes. I get that way too at times. Especially after a visit from a friend like you. For a few days my life is much fuller and takes me away from my caregiver life. And after you leave, there is a void that is hard to fill. I start projects too, that often languish.…

Visual Breadcrumbs

I am glad you picked up on my emotional bookmark comment. I feel very strongly about that. I can distinctly remember making most of my images, or what was going on at the time or what someone’s story was. Each image transports me back to that moment, like a bookmark to a passage in a book. It’s a pretty cool…

One of These Days

So, tell me about your new camera. Have you always been mirrorless, or is this a new thing? I am not really into mirrorless myself, though I know they are rage and DSLRs are going away. Besides not liking the digital viewfinder, I didn’t like the idea of getting all new lenses. When I switched from Nikon to Canon all…

A Place to Find a Little Peace

It rains here today as it has off and on all weekend. But we need it and the gardens are happy. I mostly have this year’s edition of the garden in place. A few more perennials and fewer plants over all on the deck. With the perennials I hopefully won’t have to reinvent the garden every year. I am sure…

Keep Moving

The big dark is over for now and spring has arrived. Winter was a bit tough as I coughed my way through bronchitis and fought my through fatigue. I no sooner healed up when we found out little Barney has cancer. Another one of life's tests. it seems they never end and with each hurdle we adapt and keep moving.…

Sentimental Snapshot

Update on my Instagram contact that was interested in a print. Turns out they were only interested in a memento and not art. They were locked into getting a 12x12” image to match their current lineup of other 12x12 images. Plus, they wanted to have it printed there with the other images so they would match. So, they want to…

Quietly Ride off into the Sunset

Yes, setting up printers can be a pain, thou I don’t recall having much trouble with mine. But that that was 10 years ago and perhaps I have suppressed the painful memories. Every now and then my computer forgets the paper profiles in my system, and I have dink around and fix that, but otherwise no major printing problems. But…
