    … images every day this week … I spent quite a bit of time this weekend with YouTube tutorials by Terry L White on changes and upgrades in Photoshop CC 2019. Lots of new revisions that simplify and improve techniques I use in making composites, so all the images I send out this week will be composites of varying complexity. The primary objective is to produce a beautiful image and have it look natural as though you did nothing to it. All of these creations are available for purchase if you really like them, and I am doing them in the native size of the cameras I use to capture the photos that I use in them, so you can buy BIG if you so choose.

    I love clouds and habitually shoot clouds that speak to me. I took this shot of the clouds from our back deck a couple of weeks ago and the Heron I shot at Watson Lake about a month ago. It evokes freedom, flight, aloneness, the vastness of the sky and universe, but also a oneness with the heron as it travels unseen pathways as do we all. We are connected, yet alone to make our own decisions and choose our own paths to travel.

    I hope you enjoy this piece of art and that it talks to you too … and we’ll see where we go tomorrow … I have no idea as of now, but something is brewing in my mind.

    A huge accomplishment … late afternoon I finished a total review of the portfolio and more than ten thousand photos were deleted! Good riddance, and what is left is a portfolio containing pretty exceptional photos. I didn’t reduce the size of the portfolio as much as I would have liked and that is because the early years saw raw images in the 5 to 10 MP range whereas my new camera bodies have raw images 35 to 46 MP, so the size will increase regardless, but at least I got rid of a lot of photos that didn’t talk to me. I got my speed up to a review of about 800 photos per hour so they only had about 4 seconds to make me say yea or nay! Fun and I’m glad I finally did the comprehensive review.

    Have a beautiful day and always, always, leave your mind and heart open to the beauty that surrounds us each and every day … keep breathing and smile … we are blessed!

    … Long did I walk in the night and look at the stars,
    questioning my soul, and endeavoring to deliver myself
    out of the hands of the brass images of the earth.

    …And after a while a great calm came upon me, and
    though I know not why, I stretched forth my arms,
    as if to embrace one I loved, and something within
    me said, “It is enough.”

    — Max Ehrmann

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
