I was in Snow Mass near Aspen, Colorado, for Balloon Glow. At dusk the balloons were inflated. The crowd counted down and all the balloons were lit up at the same time. It was a spectacular scene with the storm clouds moving in. The clouds lit up with the glow. This was the culmination of a wonderful evening which included some of the best barbeque I’ve ever had.

Cats have a highly developed sense of smell, although not as much so as in dogs. This is further supplemented by the presence of a vomeronasal organ in the roof of the mouth, allowing the animal to “taste” the air. Cats possess highly sensitive whiskers set deep within the skin, and provide the cat with sensory information about the slightest air movement around it. For this reason they are very helpful for a nocturnal hunter. (Wikipedia.org)
A recent digital work on CS2. I love Rat Rod culture. This image was inspired by WWII aircraft and some work I’ve seen recently that develops USAF themes on Hot Rods.

Adirondack Hot Air Balloon Festival Sept 2008 Fellow Bubbler Marleia Main and I went to the Festival on 2 mornings…the first morning we got there too late only to see the last of the balloons disappearing over the horizon. This morning..we made it to the aerodrome for 5am and had an awesome and exhilarating time watching the balloons inflate for take off at sunrise and then over 90 hot air balloons rise in the sky all around us. It was an amazing experience.

Original acrylic painting on canvas 24” x 30” / I have always loved photography, but it was a means to an end. I wanted ideas for painting. This painting really came from a deep instinct. It was the first time that I just let it happen as I went along. The color seemed to take shape in the back ground and soon I notice that it looked like spirits. Were they guiding me? I think they were. This is an / /

Watercolor and pencil on illustration board, / 15×20 / 2009 Related work: / The Waterman: Unio Mystica This is the second panel of The Waterman triptych. While the central panel represents the Christ as the macrocosm, the side panels are the microcosm, represented by the Four Elements and their manifestation in the physical world. Ignis Aeris is the yang pillar, the elements Fire and Air. Volatile and oriented upward, these elements are connected to the realms of the abstract thinking and intuition. Fire is the energy, passion and primeval instincts, that need to be balanced by the intellect (Air) in order to manifest in a most constructive way. The certainty of the Divine, that comes from the heart and from a primal knowledge, needs to be shaped by the intellect in order to become less aggressive and to expand (the butterflies rising from the fire and flying upward). Only through a perfect combination of faith and reason we can access the Divine and understand Its Laws. At the basis of the picture, handling the creative power of Fire, we see the Magician of the Tarot, which I represented wearing the skin of Nemean Lion, just like Greek hero Herakles. He represents the first step in the Hero’s Journey, or that path that each one of us need to find out and go through in order to become Whole with the Universe. The Magician is the one who uses his power of will (Fire) and mental skills (Air) in order to find his own path.
Peace Flags provide you with a special way to express some of the most important issues of the heart. In words or pictures, one can convey positive wishes for one’s self, family, friends, community and the World. One may wish to convey something individually concerning health, success, prosperity or affirm a concept one would like to see manifested in the world like peace, cooperation, equality, understanding, compassion and love. Let your imagination connect to what matters most to you. / According to Ancient tradition, prayers printed on the flags are carried on the wind. The traditional flags are blue/ Sky, white/for Air or Clouds, red /for Fire, green/ Water and yellow/ Earth. Carried On The Wind Is Offered For World Peace Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn’t anyone who doesn’t appreciate kindness and compassion…... / Quote from The Dalai Lama Painting using acrylics, inks and enamels – 102×42cm

This was one of my last photos from my balloon trip over the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, Egypt. It was an incredible experience – something I’ll never forget, and I literally took hundreds of photos. And then, I did something really unusual for me, and shut off the camera and just enjoyed the moment, the warm sun hitting us as we drifted on the breeze, and I’m sure looked as peaceful as this scene was…
