The Life and Times
This would be the random thoughts, often meandering and incomplete, of Dan Abernathy. This is "my space dot something." A place to keep everyone up on what's going on in my life and how my mind is working, or what state of chaos and confusion that I am in. Here are my thoughts, rants, introductions, new images and projects I am working on and anything else that I want to place here. Here there are no rules! This will be like opening up the mind of Dan Abernathy and looking in, for some entertaining, and wonderment. For others fear and bewilderment. I will also be sharing excerpts from Trolling For Coyotes, a book that has nothing to do with coyotes, just me.

Be advised; I am a atrocious speller and for this I apologies, but I am also to old to really care, or try to learn how to be better. I rely on spell check and friends to proof my spelling, If you find something smile let me know, I'll be smiling when I hear it. Thanks dan.

Complex Simplicity

Things are always more complicated than they seem ... and they're also always far simpler. It all depends on what level we look at. Examine events on too microscopic a scale, get distracted by day-to-day ephemera, try to do too many tasks at once, turn everything into a crisis --- and life becomes impossibly complex. Or focus on what's really important --- and life is suddenly simple. Most of what we worry about is unworthy of us. Some situations, individually or in conjunction, are critical. Keep watch for them. Relax & be alert.

The time between winter and spring is confusing to say the least. The countryside is trying to turn green but is constantly bombarded with the end of winter. This is an obvious statement when we see a batch of grass that has been watered, but the sprinkler was left on. The result, though damaging to the trees is  grand place to play with a camera.






A new collection of single words, turned into something else.
Habits

Why do your habits kill me,

And mine set me free?

Even though winter should be over, here in this snow bank of Wyoming it is not. We are still waking in the morning to skiffs of snow. I have some new photographs that I shot last winter I wanted to share. For those that lived it, this is a reminder of what we went through. For those that did not here is the beauty of the winter, or not.

As I was looking through the images I shot in 1994 while in Nicaragua it really brought back the great memories of being there. The people, the scenery and the way of life touched my heart. I have not been back since, but I have always longed to. Even though times were hard the people I met shined bright. To I have posted some of the images of that fantastic trip, mostly images of the kids I met. Also I have the murals from Nicaragua posted in the Street Art gallery.

A few weeks ago I said I was going to post a gallery on street art that I shot in Denver. It's done now. While I was working on this page I remembered some images I shot in Nicaragua and Belfast that would be an addition to the gallery. I'll have them up soon. Please enjoy the art on the streets of Denver for now.

When Rock Rabbit was an art gallery one of the artist that I hung was my dear friend David Vaughan. He is my “brother from another mother” and I would also guess that he knows me better then anyone else. With that knowledge he still encourages me to push the limits and keep contribute to the chaos. Here are a couple of images that he sent me from a resent session I wanted to share. Here too are some links to his site, Personal Fiction and the Rock Rabbit Collection.


april twenty seven, two thousand eight

This month marks the fifth year that I have not had my baby sister. She was ripped from our lives and I do not think there is a day that passes where she does not pass into my mind. I loved her so much and now, though I now that she is on a different level, I miss her so. I miss the way she brought life to a room when she entered and I miss the conversations we had that lasted for hours. When I lost Robin part of me went with her and it is a wound that is not healing. My daughter Erin wrote this story about losing her aunt, I have posted it before, but I want to link it again to share. The photo of Robin is a page in my journal. The laugh says it all.


Email Dan; say it & I'll post it!
