WELCOME !
Please send me your questions and comments.
Although time is tight I will try and answer soon.
Hope whats coming up from down the road gets more enjoyable.
Yes that is me !
For some reason; some how I tore my Meniscus. It is that cartilage in your knee that absorbs shock in your joint.
It was one of those feelings that when I felt it I knew that strange feeling WAS A BAD THING ! No pun intended.
Sure enough after a X-Ray and a MRI I was set for the OR. room.
I went through two months of PT witch I am VERY thankful for . To this day I have days that are better than others . Times when my knee feels good and others when theres a sharp pain on the side of my knee. The pain gets pretty sharp and painful. This has really put a damper on the things that I freely do. I now find myself thinking weather or not I should do something or not or may be doing it in a new way. I did a Job recently where I was really bitting my tongue and all of those other words and phases that we should not say at lest not here. :) because I was climbing up and down a ladder.
I/WE really do need to exercise every day one way or another. The problem is to DO IT or maybe the real answer is still JUST DO IT . Be it what ever it is we really do need to exercise or one way or another we pay for not doing it.
I wish all a better day and some how more time to do the things that we need to and should do. Plus some extra time to do those things that we really would like to, that makes a difference.
Be careful .
I have been gone sooooooo long.
WOW, it's strange I started doing a blog and then I seemed to just stop for reasons I do not know why.
A lot has happen probably the biggest thing was that I was helping someone look for something and well I tore my right rotator cuff. It did not hurt at first but I knew I had done something to myself. Latter after the surgery when I was standing in the
bathroom looking at myself saying to it ( my Right shoulder that is, lol ) WHAT THE !!!!!! What are you !!!!
Man I have had certain pain,fights, falls, a fracture bone ( broken arm ) but this, this was a totality a new classification of pain for me .
The pain killers where suppose be the relief that I needed but all they brought on was strange sleep and bad black thoughts. So those where put away quickly.
At that time and for the next 8 months I was told not to pick up my DSLR a grand total of 4.5 lb.s . LOL, how am I suppose to do that; I'm a Photographer anyway I was able to use my iPhone and a small Cannon JPEG camera to carry me through this time.
Any way time marches on and the visits to Physical therapy came and went and now I am looking to be more careful before I pick up anything too heavy or try to stop something.
Missed a shows or two and missed submitting for shows and a few other things. As they say that's the way it goes.
So here a few of the things I've been doing recently.
I was in the ART WALK SHOW 2014 and the show was coming to a close for the year I asked TOWN HALL if they might like the work for the show to be stay up a bit longer . The next day I was asked if they could go for another month with it.
So thankful ! Thankful for all of the people that sign my guess book too.
My availability is able to be reserved upon your calendar . Please contact me to make arrangements so we can do some work.
Now : there is work to be seen at -->
If you are any where near the Ridgefield Guild of Artist I have two prints there. One in the front room and one in the back room.
The show is called Ridgefield Guild of Artist Juried Member Show .
The person that Juried the show is SUSAN HARDESTY: DIRECTOR OF EXHIBITIONS AND ART COLLECTIONS AT NORWALK COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
Real sweet lady did a great job ! And it was not just because she picked two of my prints.
Please go see the show it is a good collection of work paintings and all it is up till MAY 12th. 2013.
*** Also I have a one man show over at the North Salem Library other wise known as RUTH KELLER MEMORIAL LIBRARY.
You can find it at 276 Titicus Road, North Salem, N.Y. 10560
It is a small show of 9 prints. So please if you can go for a drive enjoy the fresh air an see my little show. Hope you like it.

Starting a New Project . ( GLOVES )
GLOVES •••>
This picture was chosen for a juried art show in 2012 for the Ridgefield Guild of Artists.
I am starting a new project titled "Gloves".
To get the project started, I am looking for used worn out gloves that are ready to be replaced for new ones.
Once I get a pair of gloves that I like I plan to photograph them and then do a picture or pictures of the ex-owner.
The reason that I say pictures is that I would ( like ) to do a studio picture and a picture of the person out at a job
site. [ The person would have use of two out takes for themselves that they could use in print or even say a web site ]
Think of the contrast of two of the pictures and yet the third would be connected too because of it being the same
person. The person them selves would be showing two sides of themselves, one as a hard working worker at
a work site showing the gloves and then the clean person away from the work site the person of the community
and yet the pictures would have the third picture of the glove as a third point that connected to them.
Here are some pictures of Gloves that I have already but they are all found gloves; gloves that where found on the side of the road.
They do not tell a full story. Some of the images follow .
It would be interesting to find out what others think about
the idea. Especially the people that would be donating the gloves.
Please, if you read this leave a comment if you would.
