One day in winter when the sun was starting to lower, I saw the it explode behind a tree. Light and color went flying everywhere. I left without my hat. After seeing the image on the monitor I started thinking random thoughts. Again. I have a friend who lives in Vermont. The state has doneContinue reading “Mistakes”

Blue In Abstract
Night. Moody, deep and dark. Sometimes scary. Always interesting. That’s one of my favorite times of day to work aside from the ends of the day. Working at night means that you can hide some imperfections. You can build in the shadows. Pools of light become subjects in themselves. Trees often become silvery in theContinue reading “Blue In Abstract”
On My Wilderness
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”
For a Brand New Day
Like just about everyone else who could watch it, we watched it. We watched a new president be sworn in as a very small crowd watched. For many of us it was areligious experience. I think the administration planned it that way. It was all inclusive. It was inspiring. It moved everyone in this houseContinue reading “For a Brand New Day”
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”
Cold, Cold Sky
Cold. Cold. Cold sky. It looks like a winter sky. It is a winter sky. I suppose that’s because it’s winter. I like winter. The air feels good to me. My energy rises as opposed to summer when I slink about in the shadows. It looks we have another week of interesting events. Never inContinue reading “Cold, Cold Sky”
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”
It’s in the Chorus
We know what we know. It’s inside us. Ghosts live inside of us too. They start to come out as we age. Hopefully, our ghosts are good. Sometimes they aren’t. Eventually, we come to understand who we are and where we came from. Where we come from. Wow. That’s hard. What made us who weContinue reading “It’s in the Chorus”
Fly Me to the Moon
Moonrise over New Orleans. I wasn’t going to publish this picture yet, but a friend of mine posted a moonrise over the Long Island Sound, so I thought I’d better do this today. Moons seem to have a lot to do with 2021. If you believe in such things, we are entering the Age ofContinue reading “Fly Me to the Moon”
