Them Changes (song title from Buddy Miles)
Life changes…
No, not that sort, you twits out there. :-) But maybe as challenging in the long run anyway. And as usual, not all are “bad” or “good”, simply changes in abundance. Some I can talk about, others I can’t yet. Here are the ones I can.
Just when I thought my Internet connection was changed for the better forever (from landline to WiFi with a new…
The Trials and Tribulations Of... (well, you know!) New YouTube Videos
Months and months of working to salvage a very bad video have come to a close with Got Gull?. This is not to be seen as a “work of art”. It’s just a gonzo movie made with Windows Movie Maker after shooting with my Nikon D90. It’s horrible, it was supposed to be silent with captions but I seem to have left the audio track only lower in volume. The sound was even worse t…
Still alive & kickin...
…tho it may not seem that way. LOL! Life got busier and Internet access got more limited. (This message comes via Droid cell phone). Not shooting much but editing and re-editing new/unreleased images given new life thru Oloneo PhotoEngine HDR.
Planning to be much more active soon. :-)
Oh! And a huge THANK YOU to those who recently purchased my art. :-D Your kindness and generosity (spelling…
Once again I have been shown...
…the kindness it is possible for humanity to share. :-) While dealing with depression (almost to the point of despair (even for this Christian), someone quietly purchased a photograph of mine. The image is of Sacramento’s Senator Hotel at night. It’s not a new submission nor one greatly featured. It hasn’t been viewed enough to make my Top 5. I like it a lot because it sur…
Hear today...
Uh, sorta. More like ‘hear yesterday, gone tomorrow’. See? I can’t even take this loss with less puns than when Jill died (“Hide nor hare…”) :-)
Bottom line is that the same sudden hearing loss I had years ago struck again, this time claiming most of my remaining sense of sound. I am now all but officially deaf. I can still hear some sounds but it doesn’t…
Yet another RB loss
The number of unhappy members I’ve talked to hints that the overall number on (or used to be on) the site is big, REALLY big. I had the sad event of saying ‘so long and fair well’ to yet another tonight.
I know this is a privately owned website. Everybody does. I know the loss of highly talented artists sharing their work, encouragement and comments in Red Bubble is priceless…
Made the "vital leap". :-)
The “vital leap” being the breakthrough in learning my new musical instrument’s key live performance requirements. This is BIG since I’ve been drowning in over 900 pages of instructions/details/settings of a keyboard used by master musicians and premiere producers: a Korg M3. One of the biggest hurdles was discovering that the damned instruction manual isn’t the ne…
I'm alive and checking in with my artistic family and community. :-)
Things have been both fast and furious and mind-numbingly tedious. All the drama from so many factors have out me in a space where I’m not quite sure of what I’ll be doing one moment to the next. Let’s see, I’m trying to get used to shooting my Nikons as less versatile cameras since I broke the Nikkor 18-105mm lens. Once again it was a freak accident and I was putting t…
