It was the first song I heard this morning. It stunned me. It’s an old Brian Wilson song called “Love and Mercy.” He more or less gave it to the Miraculous Love Kids/Girl with a Guitar. Not only did he approve it, but he reworked it by singing with the girls. They were in Afghanistan. […]

Into the Light
This is another one. It is a picture that I overlooked because I was trying to make a picture of the full moon. This picture obviously failed. Or, did it? If I was only trying to photograph the moon, for sure, it failed. If I was trying to make something a little different from the […]
Red, White & Blue
While many of you in the Northern Hemisphere are already having wintry days with snow and very cold temperatures, we in the Gulf Coast are finally in the middle of something that looks like fall. Make no mistake. I’m not crowing over it. I know there are those of you who are cold. And, are […]
Whenever You Need It
Another storm picture. Rain never stops us. I think a lot of us were fooled because we weren’t ready for the intensity of the rainfall. Never trust the weather people on your local news. They mean well, but if I got about 90% of what I said wrong, I’d fire myself. I’ll talk about this […]
A Big Rain
A big storm blew in to the region. I thought I had I beat when we ran errands. But, oh no. I should just stop thinking. It wasn’t all that bad because we are used to it. And, it dropped our temperatures by about 30 degrees. When we woke up in the morning, it was […]
About Us — About Now
The picture is a placeholder. It’s pretty enough, but that’s not what this post is about. I promised you my views — among a lot of other people’s views — about Instagram. In yesterday’s chaos I forgot to write about that. Sorry. Today’s post is about social media, and Instagram, in particular. It didn’t help […]
Oooooooops
Yeah. Oops. Today is a little fractured. As it happened, I awoke at 3:34 am and could not fall asleep. It seemed that there was a bill due today that I’d neglected to pay with all the holiday and birthday stuff going on. My brain sort of exploded and woke me up. So. I paid […]
Night Motion
The blue hour. In motion. I look back at my career. In the middle past. It was a time when I used film to do this kind of work. It was a time when sometimes I had no other choice. Film had a slow ISO. You had to adjust or light for it. I loved […]
On This Day
On Thanksgiving Day. I wish you peace. I wish you thankfulness. I wish you joy. I wish you happiness. Most of all, I wish you art. Photographic art. Painted art. Sculpted art. Written art. Musical art. All art. — Ray
