Odds and Ends

At 90

At 90

Carter turned 90 last week. We had a little birthday party on Sunday. Had the most people in our house that day since before the pandemic. It was a nice event and everyone enjoyed themselves. It is hard for me to imagine what it is like to be 90 years old, or if I will ever make that far. But…

Hang With the Big Dogs

I guess when I asked you about the imposter syndrome, I was thinking more of your professional life and not your current photo life. You are newbie at that and entitled to have some doubts about your work. But in your professional life did you ever go through periods of self-doubt? I would not be surprised if you told me…

A Place I had Never Been Before

Nothing on the agenda for today. Or the immediate future for that matter. I do see I got an email from Google requesting my presence at some event they are having and asking me how many headshots I can do in a day? I am not sure I like that question. On one hand it could be some good bucks…

The Boy Next door

My Mac Studio has arrived. So has the key board and mouse. But no monitor yet or external drive. So for now I can only look at the box. Apple says the monitor might not arrive until the first week of August. So for now I will still kick around this old machine. I had a cousin visit last week…

Big Color Phase

One way I am looking at this is a fresh start. And trying not to dwell too much on past work. Revising past work would be slippery slope to go down. Even now I look at older work and tend to leave it alone. It represents where I was at that moment in time. I went through a “big color”…

Creating Stuff

This is perhaps the coldest, wettest spring I have ever seen since I moved to Seattle. Normally the cool damp weather doesn't bother be me much. As I tell folks I spent the first 20 years of my life here mostly in the darkroom. So I often missed the worst of it. Sunny days were never dark room days. But…

Not All Journeys Are Focused

Stuart, I forget when you return from your travels or if you check emails when you do. At either rate I am sure this little note will pop up in your in box at some point. As usual, my creative efforts are scattered. Never one to truly focus on a project, I jump around tinkering with this and that. Isn’t…

A Convenient Stopping Point

Matthew, Thought of you today on a couple of levels. First of all I see you have elected a new PM. Is that a good thing? I must confess to not knowing a lot about Australian politics, other than you all seem more sane down there than we are here. But from what I have read, are not both men…

A Centuries Old Souvenir

I am not sure you are still doing this theme, heirlooms right? I thought about it when the theme first came up but felt my heirlooms are mostly old photographs, mine and my family’s. Then I thought of this. A key to the Abbey of Mont St Michele in Normandy France. I acquired it in 1997 while working on a…

See What You Are Missing?

Too bad you are not here to help me judge the Washington State High School Photography Competition this Saturday. It is something I have been involved with since 2006. I have been a judge on and off and this was to be an off year, but a judge bowed out for some reason and the director of the program, who…
