  • Minimal

    Minimalism. A lot of people talk about it. Marie Kondo talks about to the point of making a career out of it. Photographers and artists talk about it. It was a little trendy. I tend to like it both in my art and personal life. We are in the middle of thinning out our stuff…

  • Simple

    A new week, a new approach. It is so new that the flower is still standing. Usually something like this blooms and the next day it’s gone. No. Humans didn’t pick them. Birds eat them. And, that’s a good thing. Anyway. A little good news. You’ve all read about my physical travails. No need to…

  • All The Same

    Simple. I kept it simple. I saw it. I filled the frame. The pressed the button. I made the photograph. I did almost minimal work in post production. And, I was done. Simplicity is often how you know that you are headed in the right direction. Often they say that anything that is worth doing…

  • Circle Game

    So far. So good The rate of infection is still growing, but there is a little light showing. Make no mistake, we can’t change our new normal. We still can’t gather. We should wear masks in public. We must wash our hands. More restaurants are closing temporarily rather trying to serve take away from the…

  • A Simple Picture

  • Simplicity

    Something for Friday. The end of the business week. There was more to these leaves when I found them. With tight framing, a little cropping and some gentle post production, I turned clutter into simplicity. I followed my minimalist heart. Minimalism seems to be in fashion right now. My generation — Baby Boomers — was collectors. We…

  • Very Green, Very Simple

    Life, and life itself. Fresh growth. Water droplets. Leaf veins. Symbols for life. I made this picture a few days ago, when we knew Hurricane Florence was about to hammer the Carolinas. And, that Super Typhoon Mangkhut was about to tear through the Philippines and parts of Southern China. I started thinking about the simplicity of…

  • Another Good Start

    First. The Wild Boars are free. That’s what I awoke to read today. I think, after that, I’ll just stop reading the news. Most of it is bad. I’ll just add one thing. We talk about police, firemen, that military as being heroes. They’re not. For the most part, they are just doing their jobs.…

  • Minimalistic

    Since the flower didn’t seem to help yesterday, I thought I’d move to more Japanese style of work in honor of the people who died or were wounded in Tokyo. Yes. This picture is very minimalistic. Very Japanese. Very Asian. I don’t say that without knowledge. I spent some nine years of my life —…
