What once was a home. .


“Home is one's birthplace, ratified by memory.”










Abandoned houses hold a fascination of their own. The stories they would tell if they could. . .

"Man is a dog's idea of what God should be."


Once upon a time there was a dog and a man

Who frolicked and played

Lending a helping hand

Watching each other's backs

Never straying too far from one another

. . . and then they were gone.

It takes a special kind of . . .

Stupid
To pass through the back alley with a backhoe, bucket down, early in the morning when the ice/snow has frozen over from the overnight temperature nosedive. My town's tax dollars at it's best.

Self entitlement
to pull a u turn just before a light, to which yours was red. You made everyone wait because it wasn't a u-turn, it was a four point effing asshole self entitled 180 turn.

Lazy
Not to bring your cart back to it's holding pen at the grocery store but rather leave it right in front of the driver's door of the car beside you. May the doors of every car held together by duct tape within a 100 mile range park really close beside you.

Sad
To bring your world down to one 'subject'. To not explore outside your box. Creativity stilted. You become a mere one colour and one gets tired to looking at the same shade all the time.

Nerve
To continually take and not give. Or is this ego I wonder?

Empathy
And some just don't have it. Despite the effort. Again is this ego I wonder?

Lack
Of self esteem to constantly seek attention. Why? Why does one need it so? Not the kind of attention that sustains and allows one to learn either. The shallow meaningless kind, the fluff. Sorry but I refuse to buy cheap seats to your show.

Person
Not to reach out and throat punch many people that fit the above categories. Yes, I agree, I should be commended. ;-)

Happiness and GAS in Photography terms

Sometimes you come across a written piece that pulls, tugs and feels like it was written for you exclusively.
This is such a piece. Written by a very talented photographer but it can apply to all of us on many levels.
He's a refreshing change from the competitive cutthroat business that is photography. He calls a spade a spade however, admitting he can have a thin skin at times.
He's just such a real deal.

Oh yeah. . . Me.
