So Much For Rest In Peace...

When did rest in peace become rest in pieces, so that we can build you and take you apart and move you from place to place and show you off? That has been Sue's story. Now however she is on display in Rockford Il, and will be getting a playmate. For the last few years now work has been done to preserve Sue's little friend Jane. She also will be on display at the same location that Sue is and the presentation is called "Jane: Diary of a Dinosaur". What not the Victoria Secrets story you thought it was? Shame on you. Jane was 11 when her demise caught up to her. For information on the complete story please visit: CNN

What Is Art?

A friend of mine and I were discussing Art and qualifications to be such. We resolved our issue in stating that art is something that can make a persons mind evoke thought of likes, dislikes, and other emotions. His argument prior to that was that a flaming bag of dog poo on the driveway was not a prank then, but(t) art as it invokes emotion and reaction. I am still working on a response to this, however I also do not expect to see some remove a print of a photograph that I have taken and stomp the living daylights (or nightlights) out of it. What are some of your feelings of what constitutes art? Hmmmm…

Minds Eye...

Ever since I was a shorter lad, photography has been a big part of my life. From my first Kodak Hawkeye Brownie, to building a Kodak 110 camera. I have shot, and developed several forms of film (also to include moving film, video and professional video), and now on to digital. I am pulled to the lure of being able to capture what I see, and broadcast some of that to others. A vision, a glimpse, and action or an emotion, I tend to always have a camera in hand, it is remarkable the feeling to be able to stop time with the sound of a shutter. To be able to capture the essence of a moment, and share some of those with you is my goal. Over the up coming days, weeks, and so on I will attempt to share some of the sights that the viewfinder presents.

Some of the shots may make you smile, Be Inspired, Shed A Tear, or just let you see someone elses point of view. Some may view this as a socal experiment others may just look at it as just another image. I look at it as a way that I can share God's great works. If the images touch just one of you, then I say "Job well done, now lets try it agen."

I appreciate the cost of those who helped make it this way, al-be-it not perfect, however improving (some of the time) if you were a part of that, let me take my hat off to you and take a moment to say a heart felt THANK YOU.
