The seasons are changing, with what seems like a long summer saying its last hello.
I did have a nice shot in the dark today at the grind. Its not as inviting as dk. But I did get it in a mug which was a nice.
I long for those cool winter nights around a campfire. I hope to make that happen before too long. A hello to all of my swainsboro friends. Hope to see you soon and play some croquet.
thats about it for now, its definately a moody monday
hope the rest of the weeks brings joy to you all

Hey,
Just saw your pics. Very cool.. Keep up the good work.
Did someone say Croquet- there is talk of a Sunday match around 5ish. Stay posted for more. Glad to see some SLR pics- looking good. As for photoshop- It sounds as if your are viewing it as a seperate entity- remember- there was a time when there was no image projection, then the Camera Obscura came along and changed the face of painting...I am sure artists then asked how much is too much...generally speaking the Daguerrotype comes next, and people again, especially artists with whom the camera will be viewed not as an assett but as a competitor, will ask, is it art? Is it true? Then, George Eastman will put the Kodak Brownie into the hands of the masses, and those who had accepted previous photo processes will ask when is enough enough. As the masses will take up arms with the Brownie- the slogan is "you push the button, we do the rest." It will viewed with a simplicity that will seem to rob it of it's creative genius. And then, it will corner the medium. Color film will go through the same process...artists will argue against color images, saying that they are not pure, they cannot contain the expression of a black and white image. The soul of the image. And then it will be embraced and normalized and capitolized. Digital is the new camera obscura, it is the new Kodak Brownie, it is the new color film...it is new. People do not truely know it yet, we have not accepted it yet, we fear it because it replaces what we fought so hard to learn...yet, in the end...it's all about the art, it's all about the process....have you ever been moved by a drawing...look at the work of Kathe Kollwitz...she can move the spirit with nothing more that charcoal and paper....burnt wood and natural fiber...the artist will find a way to create...no matter how simple or how complex the tools; and the work, if true to the passion...will evade the questions and ridicule of 'how' and it will hold instead of questions...answers, answers that speak directly to the inner conciousness.
