The skies on the 12th of January provided a grand pallet.

The sky provides me with images and dreams.

But it is people drive my creative soul. Jan. 14th at Safeway.  I was struck by this young women what a marvelous look.

While at the market I also made a quick portrait of one of the Pharmacy staff. This nurse gives pain free injections and is a pleasure to talk with.

Downtown Olympia Christmas shopping and fooling around. Sort of silly but aren’t we all a bit silly.

I met this man on a misty morning stroll. He was parking where I was walking as he got out of the car I asked can I sit in your car to tie my shoes? Laughing he said sure it is hard to get down there isn’t it.  He is making neighborhood maps I have a map of my neighborhood. We met on November 28th last year.

The storm door light table. I have used windows and doors to view my transparencies and negatives. Tracing, outlines all of us artists make what we need to create.

Life continues to layer into abstract creations today from downtown Olympia.  Layered Life a portfolio I have been shooting for nearly thirty years some with a subject in Victorian cloths layered against modern buildings.

 

Be well my friends. peace

March 2nd Mexican Art at Traditions Cafe. These eyes of mine continue to improve steadier opens up my lens selection. Here Nikon 85 mm 1/100 F1.8 ISO 100. 

March 3rd outside my door 1/250 Nikon Micro at F-8 ISO 100 from about 5 inches away. A much lighter prime lens yet shake is still a big problem. The camera to subject distance  magnifies the visual shake.

Simon March 3rd Safeway parking lot. I saw him in the market we nodded to each other knowingly. I caught him outside introduced myself, he laughed when i asked to shoot him. “You have character, history and are the kind of person I am drawn to photograph.” We both laughed two images and a few minutes of talking, laughing a highlight to my day.
