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

The late sixties so many vans parked in my yard and on the road, to concerts, Vt. trips. Give me life on the road memories sparked by this old van. Dropping off forms at Homes First a portrait for November First. One of two images that day.

November 12th a one image day but I like the image. Rain continues to shorten my photo strolls.

November 10th dodging showers I had a good walk.

Angles of food, umbrella the geometric patterns caught my eye as this friendly shopper walked by me. May I take you photo? Yes she turned and I missed the angle I had seen as she approached.
