Blew

What makes you laugh?

Me: What is the color of the wind?

Blew

Grandchild: Is it safe to assume that’s the winds favorite color too?

lens-artists: Road (most often) taken

Road trips! I love spontaneous road trips with nights in “X-Files” motels that invite with their buzzing neon vacancy sign.

I delight in planned vacations that included staying in city centered-hotels, having breakfast while watching national news, and then roaming (with camera in hand) through art galleries, museums, churches, parks, historical buildings, cemeteries, and shopping districts.

I welcome intentional photo walks that invite an openness to be present to the world as it presents itself and to delight in the richness, complex and wondrous elements of life.

These roads most often taken is Contemplative Photography where I open myself to what is and to see without expectations.

tiny whispered wishes

Year by year, season by season, day by day

quietly in the memories of children. . .dandelions.

Drifting in peaceful slumber . . .

tiny whispered wishes, two or three.

The Oval

can you find the hidden person?

a story within…

solitude

The traveler goes on,

His sleeves blowing back and forth

With the autumn wind,

And the evening sun sheds lonely light

Upon the bridge suspended between the cliffs.

–Miner, Introduction to Japanese Court Poetry, 115

CBWC: Texture

Texture within photography invites an awareness of how sight invites me to touch as a means to validate the visual and tactile experiences: silky, bubbly, prickly, nubby, fluffy, grainy, gritty, etc.
