The original title was going to be “The Boys of Summer,” after reading about a number of great baseball players of my youth passing. But, Eddie Van Halen died. He was 65, a year younger than I am now. He died after a very long battle with cancer. He family was with him. He was […]

The Blue Distance
Away in the weather. I wasn’t driving in that place during the storms. But, before and after are good targets. The main idea is to give you a sense of our wonderful weather down here in Southeastern Louisiana. During this time of year we often get a short but violent storm about every other day. […]
Color of the Sun
Relaxation. For most of us the water does it. We get heated up in the sunlight, cool off with a dip in the pool. And, if you are smart you just let yourself float and drift around like this guy. I’ve seen him in the past. I waited and watched, I showed some restraint and […]
Night Sky
Nothing but problems. It seems to me that WordPress does not like Safari. It would rather play with Chrome, except that using a Mac causes issues with Chrome. Why can’t they all play nice? It took a good 20 minutes just to get to this page. I still don’t know how to reduce the size […]
The Picture Begins With The Past
The day’s conclusion. I wrote about “Ray’s Blue” yesterday. Of course, I twisted the color around so much that you barely got to see it. Not this time. The sun was low in the sky. Darkness was almost upon me. I made a few quick pictures, unsure if I had an image. I didn’t have […]
Color of the Blues
Blue seems about right. It’s quiet. It’s comforting. It brings peace. Just as I sat down to write I learned that Little Richard passed. One more death in a season of deaths. Last night I learned that a guy I knew in New Orleans passed. Another death in a season of death. It’s enough to […]
Sometimes in Winter
A little more magic. That’s what I saw when I was developing this picture. I didn’t quite know what I had when I pressed the button. But, after… wow! In many ways, This image reverts back to a style I used in the late 1990’s. Tilted. Skewed. A little motion. And, very bold colors. I […]
Going Too Far
Did I? Or, didn’t I? Go too far. This image started out as one of my night time blue sky pictures. I thought the foreground subject matter was a little boring, so I set out to change that. After adding and subtracting for a little while, I almost gave up. Then. I started piling up […]
All The Blues
Oh, so blue. That’s what I saw on an early evening walk. I was mostly looking at the bare trees when the moon came into view. “Oh, man,” I thought. I stopped, braced myself, and made four exposures. This, obviously, is one of them. This color, or one just slightly lighter, used to be called […]
