Some Random Photo Works
March 20, 2022
The last time I checked I had more than 40,000 frames stored that I had taken using my Nikon D70. I have been occasionally going through them and sharing them on my Facebook and Instagram accounts. As you can see below I really have a thing for landscapes! 😀 There are some other subjects in the mix too. Above: Over The Hill, taken in Gatlinburg, Tennessee on a weekend trip with my wife.
Keep the Wonder
February 6, 2022
Sometimes we find that one thing that ignites our being and fuels our creativity. I was 16 when my mom gave me the gift that would be a direction setter for the rest of my life. It was a Ricoh KR-5 Super 35mm single lens reflex camera. I used it through high school snapping frames for the yearbook and newspaper. I would go on to learn how to process black and white Kodak film using D50 chemicals, which by the way, landed me a high school job at my small town’s local newspaper.
Watercolor for a Coworker
October 3, 2021
" I have been well known to doodle, cartoon, caricature, and sketch coworkers through the last few years. At one employer, it was a regular thing having new hires brought by my cubicle entry for me to take a photo of them and draw them later.😃 I think some times we have jobs where it meets the need of earning a check, providing insurance coverage, and not much else. If we are blessed, we may find those positions where we feel good about what we are doing daily.
The Empty Sketchbook
September 28, 2021
Last Christmas (2020) my wife gave me a nice sketchbook. I was excited by it. I could imagine it filled with all kinds of interesting sketches, some watercolor ideas, and generally filled with cool art. Here I am in late September 2021, and well, the sketchbook’s pages have remained free of pencil marks, watercolors, or ideas from yours truly. Admittedly this year I have not cranked out as many new pieces of art as in the past few years.
