  • Magic

    In answer to the question in the caption, “Do you believe in magic?”, I do. I’ve long said that music and photography are set on similar pathways. So, I’ve heard that music is magic and luck. Sometimes, when song writing comes easily, music is divine. And, it’s intentional. I could say that this photograph is…

  • On Mardi Gras Day

    Mardi Gras Day is a day to let everything hang out. To play it colorful. To celebrate. To run into old friends on the line. To start the day early in Central City with the Krewe of Zulu and their coconuts. And, end late at night with sore feet and a happy soul. This is…

  • Early Days

    On Lundi Gras. The Monday before the big Tuesday. It’s obvious that I’ve become very interested in IA technology. I’ve set my own ground rules. The base art must be my own, as in my photograph. The big complaint is that IA software scrapes the real data from billions of pictures. That’s not true. It…

  • Far Away

    Mostly, I’m just playing and raking. Raking, you say? Yesterday there were all sorts of leaves on the trees. Red ones, orange ones and yellow ones. Today they are on the ground. Don’t get me wrong, we don’t have to rake the entire farm. We just had to rake the area where there in a…

  • Accidentally Late Night

    This is an accidental artwork. But, I love it. It’s another “found” picture, but this time it was lost intentionally. I didn’t really see the potential because it was so “grainy.” Once I opened it and looked at it again I realized that it was worthy of… something. Something means to me that it could…

  • Wonderment

    These are the days of innocence and wonder, so said Paul Simon. These days, I say, “yeah, don’t you wish?” But, nothing stops us from living life as we wish. I’m not talking about the very practical matters of earning a living and keeping your home moving. Only a few people have that luxury, but…

  • Don’t Give Up

    This picture took a lot of time to work on because it was improperly exposed. It was banding. When I darkened it, it became too dark to view. I went backwards and tried to lighten it. That made it worse. I was determined not to give up. So, I didn’t. I basically made a mess…

  • Sometimes It’s Just Time

    W ordpress and my struggles are well documented here. They leveled up yesterday and this morning. I think I mentioned that a friend told me that he wasn’t seeing Storyteller on Facebook. After a little poking around I realized that I wasn’t sharing anywhere. After a little more investigation, I found that I had been…

  • The Distance Between

    T he end of the day was spectacular so I actually made some new photographs. I don’t usually make a lot of cloud pictures but what could I do? The were moving in all sorts of patterns and shapes. I selected the one I liked best and did minimal work, but I decided to make…
