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. |

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.
