1:45 AM
Holiday weekend is for staying up late viewing and adding and editing photos. Sent several candid shots to relations about town. Well, and there is laundry tomorrow and maybe, just maybe I might get photography done on the side.
1:48 and Patty Page sings Mocking Bird Hill on my play-list and my weary eyes say shut me down to rest, and the remaining goo in my chest from a week past cold gurg…
Eve and My Glass of Blackberry Wine
Eve is here. Christmas is tomorrow. She stops by once a year to bless us with her presence. We share the family bottled wine with pleasant wishes. A week away from a new year. She is a lovely thing, this Eve of Christmas. She wears the perfect black dress and smiles at everyone around. She promises gifts of joy and good food to your memories reminisced. Strange how she gets around in one nig…
Just a little burst of holiday angst....
This time of year where “the season” takes priority over everything (my photography included) I it feels a rush to the end to start again.
Growing
Working on a little creative venture. One that gives me loads of practice and builds my confidence as an light artist. My second subject should be soon. This art is a slow growth and I don’t mind taking my time. Life is definitely interesting.
Right Now
Right now I should be showering. But right now I am sitting here typing a journal note. In my wandering the other day I found a DVD in the used clothing store. Walked up to it. I get pulled in directions at times. A Yoga DVD. Simple. I bring it home and two mornings in a row I manage a modified session. Stretching feels good. Right now I think this is what I am to do. My back and all could use …
November Saturday Morning
Why is it that the brain gets jarred awake and will not shut down? A restless mind must rise and go out the door. Vent that energy through a camera lens. I am going through a water and reflection stage. Always did like water. Wets my volatile nature. Course, as I get older my flame is more of a slow burning ember.
Mornings these days are cooler and I have taken to wearing two shirts, a bille…
Untitled
Got off work this morning and took me and the camera for a walk. I am addicted to capturing light. So much for a break.
Break
Right now I am on a unscheduled break from taking any shots. This has only be for the last two days but it feels like one of those times when my juices are in need of regenerating. This is nothing new. Inspiration comes and goes.
Perhaps the 24 hr assignment will allow me down time. As is the usual, I will take the camera with me for a just in case moment of inspiration. Still life is my onl…
Portrait
I shot some photos of a real nice lady the other day. As is the usual, she was not comfortable in front of the lens. Neither am I. But I did my best to help her relax. So she read while I took several shots.
I gave her some prints today and she was happy but she noted that she got to see herself as the older woman that she is. That what you feel inside is not often what the exterior shows. ...
Practice Practice Practice
I found a small statue to capture while at work. I tried low key and hight key. I will load them tomorrow for something to do on my day off. I could load them on the computer now but there would be no surprise to start my day from. A rest after a 48 hour weekend assignment and my regular ones today is going to be very nice. I am tired.
NOTE: I added “statuette”
