Experience grinds the Lens though which we perceive reality

That sounds great doesn’t it ?
But also so very true. Sit three photographers in front of the same subject and you’ll get three different images. You see it a lot in artists group portrait sessions. Half a dozen artists sitting around one naked model,one will produce a perfect rendering of the person in front of [...]

Bohemians, vagabonds, romantics and artisans . . . Part three, add misfits and rebels to that list . . .

“Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits. The rebels.
The troublemakers. The round
pegs in the square holes – the
ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules and
they have no respect for
the status quo. You can praise
them, disagree with them,
quote them, disbelieve them,
glorify or vilify them.

Well it’s been a while . . .

Well it’s been a while since I posted on here, just now and then I find it’s good just to stand back a little, just to get a better view of what’s coming over the brow of the next hill, I generally I find its the dawn of a bright new day.

Bohemians, vagabonds, romantics and artisans . . .

situations and circumstances that are unique to ourselves, we are then

exists in great b/w [...]

The qoute below is something I read this week and thought I’d share it with you dear reader, I’ve included a link [...]

Blue skys, nothing but blue skys

quite easy to feel positive about life, the world and everyone in it.
That positive feeling is the driving force that gets things done, DIY

needs doing.
Converting that positive energy into a useful [...]

I have to admit to stealing this from elsewhere, but I think the message is worth sharing.
I stole this by the way from cup of joe photo.com Joe no longer blogs which is a real shame he’s a real nice guy and an excellent  photographer, if you get chance check out his burning man photos they are surreal .
but til [...]

Sometimes, just sometimes …

The Park Bench

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read
Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree.
Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown,
For the world was intent on dragging [...]

Old romantic at heart.

My about me page on my website is entitled ” Bohemian at heart ” which ain’t a bad description, but another word that springs to mind lately is romantic, I quite like the sound of that ” old romantic at heart “, this came to mind this week after a chance hearing of R Kelly’ [...]
