Wishing all of you a Happy and Safe 4th. of July !

   I must admit the Fire Work photo's are not 2020 but a bit older. However the rest are from June 2021. I try to show

   work from the previous month.

  That way the blog and me stays fresh and new.

  Please enjoy the work . 

So all the way back in April I had a little accident with a Wheelbarrow . 

It was loaded with old cut logs and I was pushing it down a small slop. There's a bar that goes in front of the wheel 

that dug into the ground or the edge of the driveway. The right handle catapulted me up into the air and I found

myself looking up at the trees laying on the ground. I tell myself to get up and I do, I shake my right hand with a exclamation of DON'T DO THAT !

So time moves forward two days and that's when the hand photo's where taken ( Below ). They where meant to record the date and what my hand looked like. Thats when I went to a Urgent Care and had three x-rays done. 

They told me there where no broken bones so for some reason I thought the only problem was time and all would be 

fine. Wow what a laugh. 

Just holding a camera was painful. I'm speaking of just seconds let alone minutes was a pain that would last for hours.

So at this time/ moment I'm not even picking up a camera. 

For me that's strange because for decades I've been taking pic's everyday ...

So last week I went to a hand specialist and after three more x-rays He hands me a wrist brace. Saying I should wear it as much as possible. Then tells me to get a MRI and then to set up another appointment to see him.

So that's where I'm at at this time.

I'll try to keep you updated.

   Be safe, don't harm your self ...

PS

Thought this was already uploaded. I had clicked publish and to my surprise it wasn't .

Antway I have a Dr. appointment on 7/621 @ 10:00AM wish me luck.

After the last year I thought I should add some images that show a Happier time. 

On my Facebook site they appear in a different order,  but seeing them now they could be put in just about any order . There are a few that should be close to one another. Yet each photo seems to have its own story🙏🌞

Enjoy

Spring is now, Summer is soon !

So it’s MAY and things here in Connecticut are mostly green. 

With that the pollen count is up and we all know what that means for some . I wish the best to those that have that problem.

In early MAY I thought the strap to my camera was around my wrist better than it was.  I  broke my only digital lens that I have. Things have been pretty tight sorry. Anyway the lens was pretty sweet 18-70mm 3.5-4F-stop.

So luckily I was able to grab one of my OLD analog lens and continue working with that.

So those of you that know a little about me, know that I’m pretty much a old school type of photographer.

I don’t crop unless I’m told to or it’s necessary. But with the advent of digital and money I went with a zoom lens.

So I have been using the same camera and lens for the past seven + years I have been shooting with the same lens and camera. Ya I know boo-hoo. Yet my point is when you shoot that often, that much you really get use to that one tool.That way of seeing / thinking.

It's a real head thing. I got soo use to it ,that my way of seeing flowed  to point of seeing and thinking that way.

Then BOOM; now All I’m using is a 35mm : 1.4f lens. Jump back seven years to fix lens thoughts, seeing and movement; step forward, step back

and all.

Forgive me I’m just trying to explain some of the changes that I’m going through. 

I don’t know if anyone finds this interesting or not.  Comments are welcomed.   

So if you see a change in my work you’ll now know way.

I am working on a new camera and lens. But with the pandemic and all. That's a whole other story.
