SKETCHBOOK 60 – THE BIG PICTURE

I've been drawing small pictures as my wrist was healing. Last night, I decided to try something bigger. Definitely not an attempt to look "photographic." I don't think art should be photographic, at least not in this century. We already have cameras. I, for one, have quite a few. My misty mountains This is (obviously) … Continue reading SKETCHBOOK 60 – THE BIG PICTURE

THINKING OF AUTUMN WHILE BUMPING INTO SPRING

FOTD - March 20 - Almost spring yet dreaming of Fall It could be because fall brings our best weather, but I think it's the colors that enchant me. The warm orange, red, pumpkin, and yellow. The wonderful color shifts as a green leaf turns scarlet, then gently slides into yellow. The colors of gourds … Continue reading THINKING OF AUTUMN WHILE BUMPING INTO SPRING

A TOUCH OF MAGICK

In this town, we have very little normal shopping. We do have a place I have avoided visiting. It is called "A Touch of Magick." Shops like that are as bad as bookstores were. I always have to buy something. Scented candles, strange little statues, runes, books about astrology and Tarot, and all things metaphysical … Continue reading A TOUCH OF MAGICK

MACROS WITH A SUPER-WIDE LENS

CMMC October Close Up or Macro I had been flirting with this Leica 9mm 4/3 lens for a while. I've never owned a super-wide lens except for a fisheye that I almost never used because I was never entirely sure what to do with it. This lens at 9mm (18mm per 35mm) isn't exactly a macro, … Continue reading MACROS WITH A SUPER-WIDE LENS

WHAT A STRANGE WORLD WE SHARE

Share Your World 20th October What a weird world we share. It has always been kind of peculiar, probably for hundreds of years. That I was not -- still AM not -- noticing everything is simply that my short term memory holds for less than a minute. Sometimes I forget what I'm saying while I'm saying … Continue reading WHAT A STRANGE WORLD WE SHARE

MY COMPUTER DIED AND EVERYTHING UPDATED

I was in the hospital for a week during which time, my computer stopped working and every piece of software on which I relied doesn't work. Talk about bad timing. Sheesh. My computer died as Adobe did something awful to Photoshop. Microsoft updated. EVERYTHING updated. I can't figure out how to use it. I got … Continue reading MY COMPUTER DIED AND EVERYTHING UPDATED

AUTUMN GOLD

We're not quite there yet, but we're close. A couple of days before peak unless the weather makes a dramatic turn. Garry wants to go out and take pictures. Me too, but I just don't feel quite up to it. Meanwhile, I have a lot of foliage photos from the past 20 years. With a … Continue reading AUTUMN GOLD

There really ARE rays, but are hard to see without help - Scene 2 More pink, less gold - ON1 - Pastel - Scene 3 … Continue reading EARLY EVENING IN MAINE

FOLIAGE FIRST & FOREMOST

Weekend FOTD – October 12-13, 2024 – Oh the changing trees! It rained today and the fading trees took a sharp U-turn and decided to stay a while longer. On television tonight, they were talking about these amazing pictures people are taking and commenting that a lot of people think it's all "faked" with A.I. … Continue reading FOLIAGE FIRST & FOREMOST

AS COLD AIR APPROACHES

Weekend FOTD – October 12 & 13, 2024 – As winter sends its first subtle chill We can feel winter, especially at night. It went down into the 30s last night, but popped back up to 70 today. Each night is a little chillier than the one before. We had to add another cover to … Continue reading AS COLD AIR APPROACHES
