Love and Hate

We all struggle with love and hate. They are mirror images, hand in hand. Love will prevail.

Clouds And Feathers

I was looking for inspiration when I looked outside and noticed how beautiful the sky was. Sometimes you just have to open your eyes, and the inspiration is right in front of you. Like that Feather. I love that picture. I dont know if it was the red, or the picture perfect nature of the feather but I was instantly smitten with it. I never stage these things. Boot on a fence post, that old brown chair. I just stumble across these things. Maybe its how I look at the world, or just blind luck. Right place, right time. I often wonder if someone else is leading this journey.

Starlight revisited

I came across the set of pictures of Starlight I call The Mirror series tonight and figured these would be worth a second go over. With a little magic, we get totally different photos.

Lajitas Texas

If you ever get the chance to visit the great State of Texas, The Big Bend area should be on your list of places to go. Just about 140 miles away from us lies some of the states most beautiful and impressive landscapes. I feel truly blessed for the opportunity to go and see everything that you see below. This is Lajitas and the Big Bend Ranch State Park area. Through my eyes.

My Peeps

These are my Peeps. There are many like them, but these are mine. Without them I am nothing, with me they are nothing. (no one is going to get that reference. Im like a Family Guy episode)

Waiting for the Sun

This morning I woke up early, and couldn't go back to bed. So I got up and around, went to Starbucks then went driving around looking for somewhere to catch a sunrise. I don't plan these things out. I usually just let it happen. Which sometimes works out for me because it does give me the element of random. So I put my Doors Cd in and somehow found myself in Stanton and then Big Spring chasing a good spot for the great sunrise this morning. I couldnt settle on a spot. Next time I scout a spot before hand then go out in the dark and wait for the sun. Things like this should be planned out. I suppose you shouldnt just be stumbling around aimlessly in rural areas in the dark. I couldn't pull off the shots I wanted. But it was great. Early this morning a line of clouds was in front of the sunrise giving the effect of a glowing halo all around the edge of the clouds. It was stunning. Here's some from this morning that I did like.

Hair Peace, Bed Peace, Ice Cream Peace

I am given the duty of going to get the late night snacks. Although I was sent to get Chocolate Brownie, I strayed from the path when I saw a new flavor. Imagine Whirled Peace. Carmel Ice cream with toffee cookies and fudge peace signs. But thats not important. It had John Lennon on it, so sorry Justin. I think that all my ice cream is sayin, is give peace a chance. Another in the line of ice creams from Ben And Jerry'd named after the grate ones. Cherry Garcia, Phish Food, now get your John Lennon flavor.

As we started to scoop out our ice cream we got a surpise, some of my favorite John Lennon quotes were printed on the inside of the carton. So I promplty washed it out so I could photograph it later, how great is that little carton. I am so easy to please.

"Get out there and GET peace, THINK peace, LIVE peace, and BREATHE peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like."

Give Peace a Chance.

In the Carton 2009.

"A dream you dream alone is only a dream, a dream you dream together is a reality"

Dont make it ONLY a dream

Words By John Lennon.
