“Once you have explored a fear,
it becomes less
terrifying.
Part of courage comes from extending our knowledge.”

“There is always something spiritual
about the approach of winter.
You retire into your innermost chambers and camp
near the small glow
you find there.”

Check out Horseshoe Bend :)

I really love #1 and #3. Would I show these in a gallery? Maybe. But I see them more in a corporate environment, as neutral yet still interesting art to adorn the walls. Must be printed at least 30x40, yes?

Winter in Manhattan IV
I love the juxtaposition of clearly defined leaf veins with blurred out sunny bokeh. But add in the early morning quality of light here - soft indigo blues, warm mauvey-reds, and zing, I'm hooked.

You could say this is my Rothko. Not in the sense of this being a masterpiece, no. In the EG sense (maddening old friend) of a viewer seeing this and thinking to himself, "I could do that." And of course you could. You could find your own forest or park, be there when the sun is just right through the trees, use the right lens and settings to get the right bokeh, and find your own elegant and eloquent composition.
And I hope you will.
Because I will always vote for more beauty in the world.

Brunner/Wiley Wedding Part 7
The mother-son dance warmed things up, and the guests took it from there :)
Can you believe I got that shot? Me neither :)
The football is the small yellow smudge at the top of the tall tree in the second shot (right, above).
Cowboy boots abound - cupid shuffle to cha cha slide and back to country...
I'll finish this out tomorrow, for real. Just a few still lives you have to see!
Missed part 6? Why'dja do that? ;)
