There's a tree up the road a ways that Georgia O'Keeffe made famous by painting it...this is that tree. The Lawrence Tree.
I haven't been around here much. Call it doldrums or being in a slump or just plain jaded... there's also all this pollen and dust floating around that really gets to me this time of year, but that's not really any excuse.
I did jury a photo competition for Lightbox Photo Gallery last month and that was big fun. It was for the 10th annual toy camera show, and the photos submitted were really good! The show opening is this weekend in Astoria and it will be a good one!
The sheer talent that toy camera users have is over the top. It truly is about the person behind the lens and not the gear.
I've also been drilling some holes to make pinhole cameras out of cameras I have that don't work. A Dacora Digna is in the works. It could be a Dig Pin or a Pin Dig....
Have a great summer...it's just around the bend and thanks always for stopping by. I'll put a fresh kettle of tea on for you!
On the road to Hanksville, Utah. A road I never get tired of driving.
1,565 miles, 5 tanks of gas, three states, countless turn arounds to
make a photo, three herds of bison, four wild turkeys, two Cardinals,
three Roadrunners, two tacos from a gas station (they were good) only one
bag of Cheetos, a book store and a junk shop and a visit with Dad. I'm
back home and tired but developing rolls of film anyway
From the great plains area of Oklahoma...near the 100th meridian.
It's the kind of road where you see more cows and livestock than people...perfection in my book!
My kind of place....somewhere in North Texas on the way to Wichita Falls.
Yes, it's Marfa, Texas. A place full of artists and some friends and old derelict phone cases and tin trailers. A photographer's happy kind of place...well for me it is.
