three of the man

If you are lucky and didn’t turn out to be a terrible parent, you are rewarded by having a kid that will grow up into a fantastic adult. My son, Josh, is a perfect example. I am very proud of him and the person he has become. He is kind, generous, thoughtful, adventurous, fearless (except for that heights thing), and for all of you young ladies out there, he is single as well.

For me, the best part is that he is wonderful to be around. We might be just hanging out, eating lunch at Willy’s, or out for a day of shooting. He is a good conversationalist and is comfortable talking to people.

Yeah, I am really proud of him.

canning asperagus

The first step in canning asparagus is the welcoming smile.

 

 

 
 

Followed by the reading of the recepie.

 

 

Then more smiling.

 

 

More recipie reading.

 

 

Then some waiting for everything to finish boiling and cooking.

 

 

Finally, you stuff the pickled asparagus into the jars. Then back into the boiling water for a bit.

I hope you found this step by step process to be helpful because I am a helpful kind of guy.

 

strange visions I have

I can’t always explain what it is I shoot. Sometimes, all I can do is focus and press the shutter button. I can’t interpret the image. I don’t know that there is any meaning. I’ll leave that up to you. I can tell you that, this year, I probably went to a better Halloween party than you. Belly dancing unicorns…yes, this party was something else.

Young woman's in period dress is looking through the viewfinder of a modern camera.
Elizabeth, the photographer

 

You might remember Elizabeth from some earlier images. It turns out that both Elizabeth and her mom are photographers. I am looking forward to seeing their work at sometime in the future.

This particular image is one of recognizing the beauty in the lines formed by her stand combined with the billowing of her dress as the summer wind flowed by her. As with so many good images, knowing that you are seeing a photo worthy scene is more than half the battle. See beauty. Capture beauty.

Lines, form, and even story combine. Who is this young woman? Why does she wear such old styles? What is she looking at through her view finder? How do the modern camera and old dress come together? There is nothing in the image that gives us answers and we are left to our own imagination.
