Blending the past and the present

A Short Stroll Sept 11

Feeling a bit better so Sunday I went for a walk around the yard. My intention was a longer walk but after a few images reaching and bending well the pain took over. Six weeks since my Pain Clinic was closed and the State keeps putting out misinformation. Go to the ER they say but the Dr. at the ER says “I don’t know why they told you this it is against State and Federal Regulations for us to treat chronic pain.” But it sounded good in the press which is all any state agency can hope for. MBA’s make medical decisions and appease the residents of Wa. that they are doing something for poor patients.

Patty’s plants a visual stimulus just down the walk.

A White flower amidst the tomatoes shines as fruit ripens for a salad and many quarts of sauce just outside my door. A KGP garden from Grub.

A Muse Dances Through My Studio

A Life In Photographic Art

2001 A Wood Nymph floats through a white environment.

2016 A new muse. It is always the eyes that separate art from glamour. These eyes tell the story and explore the soul of the artist. Her eyes are my eyes, my eyes are hers, speaking volumes to those who listen.

2001 Eyes and smiles Pirouette through the highlights and shadows.

The soul of an artist is etched by the eyes in the negatives a thesaurus of emotions.

Many years, many Muses some pass through my life briefly a spark a highlight and gone some linger for years and the language of creation expands we speak with a new voice. Shadows, highlights, motion, emotion explored discovered shared. A flower, a stream an old house the muse is youth the muse is me. peace pjc

So a half an hour ago I started, this post I wrote a paragraph on repetition in the darkroom a must for control of technique. Notes on printing so I can walk into lab years later and quickly match a print. But repetition, technique in the Piss me off Pixel Age is difficult as Upgrades, Changes, Distractions and the constant need to babysit this inhuman box. Too much brain power diverted from creativity to keeping up with marketing the homogenization of thought. Be an individual just do it with the latest AI. [FU AI.] like everyone else. WP deleted my words and added 6 images I uploaded to the Lib. appeared in post. I must have missed the latest new and improved version.

here 2016 an old perhaps ’50s truck up the street from me. The string that ties the journey, the images, is seeing beyond the stylized bright color. Tri X the tie that binds.
