Because everything we say and do is the length and shadow of our own souls, our influence is determined by the quality of our being.
Dale Turner
So where have I been? Just being and thinking about life as I approach a signficant birthday. Keeping busy with work and learning harp. Not as much photography as I might have liked, but I'm getting ready to leave for Michigan to spend time with my family and to go to Canada to spend my birthday with friends. I hope to get some inspiration for a new series of photographs.
This black and white photo was done while watching the sun pound onto our patio during a 100 degree plus day. It returned me to the beginnings...and speaking of beginnings, been listening to Miles Davis as I contemplated life....one of my favorites...
