Cloudy Days and Concertinas – Part III

The rain drops blessed me again today.  As much as I want to get out into the garden, I have gotten comfortable spending productive days inside the house while the Oregon rain makes gentle noise outside. You might think someone who loves musical instruments as much as I do would have music running full blast [...]

Darkness is just a Setting on my Camera – How Guitars and Bananas Showed me the Light

My living room has a  number of musical instruments in it.  Music is really cool art. In some ways more than other arts where you can have your implements and tools out and around a room. The display of tools will look less of a mess then let’s say a paint set, a bunch of [...]

Fun in Dharma’s Kitchen – A Night of Color

I learned something about myself recently… I think I really enjoy taking pictures of food… I wish you could see some of these blown up.  These were really meant to see in full size. I know they are kind of dark. The darkness comes from my preference for natural light.  Flash kind of turns me [...]

Recursive Inspiration – Using the Unplanned to Urge Creativity

This blog has been a lot of fun.  I don’t think I had aspirations of writing the stories that my friends were motivating me to write in blog form, although, I did have expectations to write creatively more frequently; if possible, everyday.  Maybe it was shortsighted of me to think that I would only be [...]

Comin Home without a Camera

Friday morning I grabbed my convertible traveling backpack, the kind that allows you to stow the straps so you can carry it like a normal bag, opened the zipper, and started piling in the black clothes.  It has been a long time since I had to move so quickly to pack, well that’s not true, [...]
