Some photos for ya

I asked Brandon what I should do yesterday. I had a little cabin fever. He gave me some suggestions - drive to the coast, take some pictures. Okay. I did it.

  1. Those are some great pics...but, forgive me for my stupidity, if you were on the coast where is all the water?

    I think the first b/w cloud shot is the best. And I think the Appalachians should, and ought to, becken, specially since that where you'll need to aim when the Canary Islands tsunami comes calling.

  3. Kim - Yes, I realize there are no water pics, sorry. I seem to feel most comfortable snapping the shots when I am in the car.

    Dad - I will keep in mind the Appalachian escape route.

  4. I love these! I love the camera cropping and think they'd be sweet framed in a series. When's the next county fair or local art exhibit to enter??? These remind me of Hockney's photos he took of the countryside of England from the roadside.

    Loved your photos. There's a movie at the film fest here you would love: Ten Skies
    Filmmaker James Benning says,
    "All ten skies were filmed from my backyard in Southern California: skies formed from weather systems, mountain land currents, wildfires, pollution, and the wind; skies as a function of landscape: the sound giving clues about the land below. Each sky is a detail selected from the whole; sometimes filled with drama, sometimes a metaphor for peace...The whole thing is very dramatic, and it's just cloud movement. All the shots end up with a dynamic quality. I never saw that before, I never had the courage. It took me fifty years to look at the sky like that! I call it 'found paintings.' I think of my landscape works now as anti-war artworks--they're about the antithesis of war, the kind of beauty we're destroying..."
    Neat, huh?
