year of Jubilo


 I guess I will miss out on Olustee this year. I used to get up Saturday morning and go out to the battle field and mill about the camps taking photographs. Lately the downtown festival lost interest in me due to it becoming politically correct and downplaying why it was called the Olustee Battle Festival.

Jordon



 It’s been good having son Jordon here for the weekend. He is in a wedding tomorrow with one of the Howell girls. He returns to Colorado Springs Sunday.

Coming going


 Coming Going


In the course of my life

I think of all the going

When I should have stayed

Of the coming

When I should have been

Running away

And so the machine of me

Sits undecided in Genoa

To come

To go

Or just await what 

The road brings 

His way.

Doesn’t get any better


 A fog with an Egret 

A father and

Two daughters

Doesn't get much

Better

King of strikes out


 There are those

Who every time they aim

Hit the mark sharply

Then there are the rest of us

Who every time we aim

Are just happy to be in the

Upper seats

In the ball park

Eugene Smith




 W Eugene Smith. 1/30/18-10/15/78. Eugene was an early influence, one as him, I wanted to aspire to. We shared the same birthday and in the year of his death I was into my young 7th year of photography.

Rev Ed


 Just who was this cow of a different kind? Giving hope we were meant for a higher purpose than Burger Kings.

Sensor perception


 Extra Sensor Perceptions 


By slowing the shutter and ISO and Aperture as slow as possible in broad daylight without totally blowing the scene to a naked white girl in snow, I learned one thing: my sensor is woefully full of dust!

Sandhill Softly


 Sandhill softly


Excited we heard before we saw

that deep felt call from the sky

Passing beneath the chicken cage

did the hens not say,

There must be more than eggs?

Leaden heaven


 Leaden heavens


Lately beneath leaden heaven

The weight of glory

Pressing down

Crow distance

 You want your crows close

Do you?

Well that is why your crows are far 

From you.
