his post started down a different path. I was going to post a whole bunch of flag pictures. As I was organizing this page I’ve been listening to an Audible book.
The book is called, “How to Write One Song” by Jeff Tweedy, the founder and front man of the band Wilco. The book is about creativity and what that really takes.
So, I began again.
I thought about America and what we are. We are people. All people. White, Black, Brown, Yellow and Purple.
Purple?
That’s my way of saying either everyone matters or nobody matters.
Here’s a little portfolio for your Fourth of July viewing pleasure. For those of you in countries that today is just another day, please enjoy my work.
M
y pictures in this little portfolio are what I saw on a particular day.
The technique is simple.
F 8 and be there. I go out and make pictures.
I have a pre-photographing routine that opens my eyes and heart and turns off my brain.
The resulting images were made by using that non photographing routine.
And, a bit of photographer’s luck.

Music everywhere. 
Banging that drum. 
Watching the Mardi Gras world go by. 
A well deserved break. 
I told you it was hot. 
Busy Dad. 
Sitting, think and waiting. 
Dancing days are here again. 
Workingman’s cross. 
In honor. 
In black and white.

A little noontime sip. 
Lined up and no place to go… yet.
