Walking and seeing. That’s what’s been happening lately. For some reason unknown to me, I seem to have recovered my ability to see. It may have been my own doing. I started trying to make art that wasn’t me. I was trying to tailor my work to a certain gallery, rather than find a galleryContinue reading “On My Wilderness”

Bleak Mid-Winter
Sometimes you look and see. Sometimes you only look. Despite my talking about not being able to produce good pictures or think creatively, I keep making photographs. I must be seeing. I think I want to move forward into another kind of photography. I’m tired of making faux nature pictures. A couple of you suggestedContinue reading “Bleak Mid-Winter”
Wind and a Tree
More experimental than not. That’s this photograph. It’s about wind, which arrived in about 30 mph gusts. Even the all seeing spaniel wanted very little to do with it. We walked for a while and after watching her ears fly around I thought it was better to head home. That’s what we did. We wentContinue reading “Wind and a Tree”
Winter in Green
You say toemato. I say tahmato. You say winter, I just smile. I made this picture yesterday when the temperature was around 60 degrees. The wind was blowing and well be back down in our so-called deep freeze later today. So-called because even though it’s been cold for us, you are probably thinking is heContinue reading “Winter in Green”
Some Say
Funny things are happening. This picture is an example of them. It’s winter. It’s fairly cold. But, it feels like spring. That’s why I made this photograph. It is spring-like. I’ll get into the technical stuff in the right hand column. Over here, I’d like to discuss feeling. How a picture makes the viewer feelContinue reading “Some Say”
My Eyes Look In
The wars I lost I shouldn’t have fought. That little phrase has more than one meaning. It could mean a literal war. It doesn’t. It could mean some kind of power struggle. That could be, but not. It could mean an internal war, the worst kind. It does. I’m not really talking about career issues.Continue reading “My Eyes Look In”
The Red of the Picture
And, so it shall be. No more political talk, except to say Twitter banned Trump – HA, HA. I’ve been looking for ways to express myself artistically until I start my project. You remember? The Jefferson Highway Project. First, I have to motivate myself to actually drive around. It doesn’t help that our CoVid-19 numbersContinue reading “The Red of the Picture”
There Are Days
Yesterday. After the riot and the final certification of Joe Biden as president, you would have thought that the day would have been calmer. For sure, it wasn’t dramatic as Wednesday but the stupidity kept going. The far right senators like Ted Cruz tried to blame the riot on Antifa. They said the rioters areContinue reading “There Are Days”
American Stooge
Sad. That’s what I am. The capitol’s violence broke my heart. My country is so broken that I have no idea what to do. It’s above my pay grade. That’s not all. I’m angry. I’m hurt. And, I knew it was bad when Turkey told us to settle down and mediate this. Turkey? Really? WeContinue reading “American Stooge”
