A 38 year track record broken just like that!

Last night I woke up often. Something kept bothering me, and this morning I discovered what it was. Apparently I have “Pink Eye.” Never had it before in my life. 38 years avoiding this annoyance! This summer Ian’s gotten it a couple of time. Little kids in the household, you know. So I made sure [...]

I’m in need of a few simple items

A favorite client stopped by yesterday with a few ideas.  In return for his ideas I ran a few of my own ideas by him.  Together we had a lot of ideas.  We also laughed a good bit about what could come of all this mental exchange…… What I do know is that we’ve got [...]

It’s another perfect day….why are you inside reading my blog?

This morning I was greeted by cool temperatures once more.  Arizona’s signature hyper blue skies, a slight breeze, and a strange bunny rabbit waiting by my door this morning.  I kid you not, it was like the rabbit was waiting for me to poke my head out for the morning.

And at the end of the day….well deserved rest at the Airstream

Things to do while running a ton of canvas

5 24×30″ canvases to run this morning.  And it’s only 9:25 a.m.  Way to start the day! Now, while I sit and wait for canvases to come out, and then for veneer to dry, do I just go dormant?  Does nothing else happen? Nah, there’s always something to do.  For instance, I can try out [...]

Shooting around town….yes, I still do that

Monday, in between slogging cameras and tripods around the Dells and Granite Basin, and before the “death slide” down a rock face in Granite Basin, I took the time to wander around town a bit with the cameras.  I haven’t played much with photography in downtown Prescott lately.  Too many other distractions…… Like sliding down [...]

Getting in front of the camera might just be good for me

Plowing along through my first full length video class has had its ups and downs.  Lately I feel like I’m in front of the computer even more than normal! However, I’ve also gotten out to do some unique shooting for the class that hasn’t been seen here on the blog.  And I’ve had to spend [...]
