A conversation with forms of disintegration

October 26, 2010

Billions of leaves now lie on my little parcel of the planet. Each whispers a different message about color, form, texture, pattern, volume, shape, and line. Each changes by the hour as they disintegrate; no longer able to fulfill their role in photosynthesis. How do I choose just one leaf to visually converse with? Does it matter […]

Moonrise over fish fry

October 25, 2010

Friday: Drive to Sendik’s for the traditional fried fish. Full moon peeks over trees; rooftops; disappears; reappears. Turn right on Port Washington Road. There behind Culver’s it all comes together. Don’t stop. Drive on for the fish as I may see an even better view. Nope. That was the photograph. Buy the fish and seven […]

Dancing through time — Friday — flower appears.

Justice discovered when picking Sophia up from school

October 12, 2010

(click images for larger view) Once back at Sophia’s house we shot a few hoops before moving on to WII gaming inside. I must say that I prefer real balls, racquets, frisbees and bowling pins to their electronic facsimiles. Leica M8, 28 mm Summicron
