New Link
I've added a new link to a new gallery on my website. I call it Finer Details. It will be a collection of close-up images of the everyday minutia that makes up life, the stuff in the background that tells the real story. There are only three items in the gallery so far, but I will keep adding to it. I like it. On another note, today I got my first acceptance of a piece for a gallery show! It's so exciting! Maybe it's the beginning.
Uncommon Common
I've added a new link to this blog that will take the reader
to a pretty cool photograph in a gallery I've titled Uncommon
Common. An uncommon perspective of a common view.

Working on my website
I'm an introvert for the most part so marketing my photography business will be difficult for me. I would rather work on the website than get out and promote myself to real people. Ugh. But I love my website! I'm supposed to be working on a marketing plan for a class project. I get sidetracked.
Late
After midnight. Still working on my photography website. I had a great start on it, then my computer came down with a nasty virus. Took me a good two and a half weeks to cure it and now it runs pretty darned slow. Then I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand. I'm right handed. Finally back online. Next week I have surgery on my left hand. I'm right handed. I should be ok. My website looks great! Focusing on adding my current stock of photographs and then I really need to get back to actually shooting. Probably after I recover from my second round of carpal tunnel surgery.
Home through Time Final Video
My ongoing photography project, “Home in Time,” is motivated in great part by the beauty I feel is revealed in the textures created by the effects of time. But my interest in these houses goes beyond just the images themselves. I always wonder about, and have begun to search for, the stories hidden behind the curtains still hanging in a broken window and the cracked tiles in a bathroom and the peeling paint on an old white fence. These were the efforts of someone somewhere in time to create a home.
For me, the notion of home is intimately connected with family, and in taking photographs of old houses I tend to picture children and parents and grandparents living in these spaces that at one time were new and robust and maybe represented somebody’s dream home. I’ve created a video that is meant to symbolize that connection of family and home and the effects of time and aging on both.
I suspect that my video will have a greater emotional effect on viewers of the baby-boom generation than it will on twenty-somethings. Our parents are nearing the end of their lives and our children are making us the grandparents. The Circle of Life. It’s a romantic notion, but sometimes the reality sucks.
