Challenged to post Nature Photos on Face Book for seven days a while back I never got to it. Sorry but there is plenty of nature here it involves two or three clicks. Dare to leave FB nothing will happen.  So I took a couple little trips here are the results.

Too much, keeping pace with life creating commenting moving in a direction the journey continues. Back to film the 70’s, 80’s 90’s. Swirling from age four to sixty six in a 1/250th of a second. A brief ramble through 45 years a beginning, a tease, a new book, a retrospect. Now Available Another Door Entered  a sample chapter from A Life in Photographic Art

image001 Ss15 Sat+10 Jan 1974 State Street Antiques Koda64January 1974 a cold morning stroll on State Street New Haven. It was very cold but the light was perfect a thin gray overcast sun softened by the clouds. I knew I had it one image made Kodachrome 64 and walk on to the next shot. This image had a feeling that knowing you had spoken that there was more to say. The journey will go on the moment brief lasting forever created. Forty two years later the moment this moment still feels right.

S 15 Sat +10 Cnst +50 Providence Guitar and Banjo1982The sound track was as sweet as I will ever know as the eighties dawned in Providence in love with a women then the city. The moments, multiple moments erupting in the theater, dancing across my shutter plane. I was the moment, the muse. The fall was a devastating crash, a betrayal, a pistol… seeking a place to hide.

NC Dance 1986The Dance of color, light, seeing returns slowly. The North Carolina Dance Theater invites me to dance the blues away. The muse visits, structure, determination, hope, life. The journey re starts. Trains, ferries, summer my daughter propel the journey forward.

So that’s the story of my journey, seeking the highlight finding the muse. Forty Five years of visual and verbal comments on the human condition. Forty thousand images whittled down to six images and a few words here a preview, taste of my new book. Seeking a publisher investors want to be part of the journey?

A Life in Photographic Art my second book

Negotiation on socks, snacks, lunch, the bath….. pretty much everything is a debate. Actually Grandpa it’s………. on the phone with Kirsten, More cheerios, no have some other food, I’ll have some more cheerios  then real food. No some protein. “Ya mom that’s the deal!” I sit laughing the debate continues.

DSC_0028S15 ShadHi Cnst-15 At The Restraunt 12-14-15  Having lunch at The Spa I was joined by Inara and her best friend who had eaten and had little interest in being here on a sunny day. Come on off to another adventure. 

DSC_0004 Ss15 B-5 9-4-15Sept 4th Loving climbing in playground at Percival Landing. Sat. Jan. 30 we were out going to the Farmers Market. But Grandpa lets walk over to see the crane. The crane at the port has an elevator for the operator to get to control booth it is very tall. Nine sets of two tires on each side. We walk down the dock, shells flowers it is spring so the crocuses are blooming. Lets go to the playground. She swings, climbs meets a little boy and shows him how to slide down a curved poll. To the farmers market ?? Can I run and chase the gull off she goes into the very wet muddy field. Shoes sucked off her feet muddy socks a near melt down. All is well we head to get a treat and warm feet. A Mocha and a scone is my plan. Grandpa lets go there I have been there and like it. Budd Bay Cafe a very nice restaurant. She asks do they have pizza? No how about a salad? Sitting side by side in the window we talk about fish, wolves, shells. A flat bread salmon sandwich for me. Inara looks like pizza she has a bite likes it wow cooked food with fish melted cheese almost sauce. She likes it wow. She isn’t like Mikey from the 70s TV ad very particular about her food.   

DSC_0008 S15 ShdHi A new Friend 72 9-4-15Sept 4th with a friend she just met at Harbor Days. Her friends Parents have a booth selling clothes we visit the booth and her folks say sure she can explore with us very fun. Making faces, looking for fishes climbing running a full day.
