Christmas and the New Normal Version 2, thoughts from 12/15/25

by // 2 Comments

Another wet gray day it is hard to see Christmas today or this week. More like March and with that
“when will the rain stop feeling.” No one says New Normal very much lately. A recent search for a 1998 transparency yielded these images. Smiles sent to you to see through the gray malaise this season. peace joy color love.

From my Norwich days a couple of a very red Amaryllis 

Perhaps not technically my best work but I love red and perhaps a bit of influence O’Keefe figures into my mind.

Old Orchard Beach Maine as a child summer meant a trip to Portland and the beach.

Summer 2000 or there about The Florence Griswold Museum great place to breath in creative air inside and on the grounds.

The International Fly In Moosehead Lake Maine mid eighties with Bob. 

Autumn in New England most likely Ct. Bright young Maples

Back to Old Orchard a nineties trip with my daughter. It was a fun vacation for us two.

Chris Torkelson who was a great advocate for train travel, his daughter looking out the window of the owners private sleeper car.  We were headed to Brattleboro Vt. and the excursion was sold out so we rode in style.

TEDs a staple of growing up UCONN or not growing up at all. I prefer option two. Today a visit from Nathen Hale Ale Brewery.  March 1989 the previous days snow continues to melt. If I remember correctly there was more snow to come.

Ice Cream by the Carousel Watch Hill R.I. 2001

 

May we all come together to share love, kindness and peace Always

 

 

 

 

One day, yesterday landscapes of my world.

by // 2 Comments

A good morning sours a walk before lunch. Just 75 yards up the street and back it was a long walk. Sit ponder my small world. Landscapes of my life, the Cubbies on my screen. I start to take an anthropological view. I’ll post today the now breaking  … Yesterday’s images broken by another battle with Diabetes sugars soaring, crashing for a week. An unknown variable very annoying. So a before lunch reading of 55 spoils my Cinnamon apple meatballs with rice. Cooking fast while I sit drinking fruit juice stuffing my mouth with Cheeto’s. After lunch horizontal with oxygen for a couple hours. The good part of the day 3.5 hours BS again high before dinner. 

Eight Balls, Apples, Tomatoes cover most of the flat space

Light from a thin overcast casts red reflections outside the world of Eight Balls, Pumpkins and broccoli fill the negative space. 

An issue of The Sun filed with other To Do’s 

Past life’s linger on a sofa, chairs. A Christmas stocking full of spices from Nancy. 

Arnold Prince, Ken Morgan, Rees Gordon, Carl Blodgett, Warm the crowded space of a life in photographic art. 

And now back to the action. Shooting my space at the screen the Fan Cam Fades. Warm thoughts, memories there for me when I glance up. A little Kirsten, Inara, Jayden and Lilith. Kirsten’s ribbon from The McSweeney Teddy Bear Festival, Pokemon cards, Notes from Maarit. Little things are very big in a small world.

What do you think good images for A Life…?

New London a city I never was a resident of but was quite at home there. Coffee Muddy Waters Cafe Breakfast after hanging Hygienic Show, Davo and many artists I saw once a year that Jan weekend.  But I drift as this group are from Sept 2001

Ocean Beach Boardwalk

Patsy’s the corner store

This image and Patsy’s are two of five images in a twenty minute span that I would print. Sometime a wave of vision and everything is in the rectangle.
