This is a Chinese Rose. I’d never heard of such a thing until a little debate broke out on Instagram. Someone posted a picture of a flower that he called a Chinese Rose. It wasn’t. Even with my lack of knowledge about flowers I knew that. So off to Google we went. It turns outContinue reading “Chinese Rose”

Colors
I like the caption better than I like the headline. Okay, the title. The base image is of the past. It’s a long story, but many, many years ago, my Dad thought that he wanted to work as a watch maker. Like me, he lacked the patience to do that kind of meticulous work. That’sContinue reading “Colors”
These Times
Once upon a time we lived in a land of peace. But, I forget when that was. I read a comment that said we’ve had two mass shootings in two weeks. Yes, America is opening back up. In New Orleans last Saturday night there were eight shootings. They weren’t in one place so it wasn’tContinue reading “These Times”
Darkling Days
A light explosion. That’s how I was seeing things as we drove into the direct sun. This picture may not exactly be physically accurate, but it’s how we felt when sunglasses didn’t help. I have no idea if this picture stays in the final project collection, but for now it’s in. After all, I onlyContinue reading “Darkling Days”
Crayon Angels
Color. That always makes me smile especially as we cruise into the weekend. I need a little color. I’m guessing that you might too. Besides color, I need music. Not the usual stuff we listen to around here. I need a playlist that Spotify assembled. It’s called, “Echoes of the Canyon.” It’s about that time.Continue reading “Crayon Angels”
Queen Of The Highway
Here I go again. Driving and making pictures. You know how I do it so I won’t go there. I will head over to intensity. I talk about not taking the picture, instead letting the picture take you. I discuss the zen of photography. I talk about practicing until you don’t think about what youContinue reading “Queen Of The Highway”
Happy Mardi Gras
We ate it. If truth be told since carnival season began on January 6, we ate three. Three king cakes. During a normal Mardi Gras year we’d eat way more than that, but they’d be consumed at the brunch that we would have had yesterday. The subject of this picture is what’s left after eatingContinue reading “Happy Mardi Gras”
In My Wilderness
More yellow. I don’t know why. I guess during the winter months I like color. Yellow is warm. It’s inviting. In the world of big commercial presses it is used to give “lift” to a photograph. Most importantly, it makes me smile. I’d like to revisit yesterday’s discussion for just a few minutes. Okay tenContinue reading “In My Wilderness”
I Feel A Shift
A kindred spirit with a stranger’s face. That’s how it starts. A friendship. An album. A project. A life. This photograph. I keep stealing words from a friend. She’s gonna want a word with me. Eventually. But, not right now. For me, the words are just a good place to begin. That means something toContinue reading “I Feel A Shift”
