Gulli's tire swing
January '08
Well here is my first photo. It's out of focus, but is does have the richness, color and character that captures our old barn. The tire swing is suspended in the bull pen, home of Gulliver the bull. He uses it for entertainment, by batting it with his horns and to scratch his back. Most of the other photos were horrible. The camera could not handle the low morning light and I am not yet up to speed. I shot another roll this past Saturday, but lost the whole roll, when I thought the film had re-wound (it hadn't). Nothing like re-learning all the mistakes I made as a teenage photographer. Experience and knowledge are important, but there is also the day-to-day doingness of an activity which leads to ease, familiarity and eventually, in the case of photography, artistry.

Patients predict a wave of illness after record January thaw
January '08
Each one of my older
clients today remarked that there would be a lot of
illness after the record warm weather we were
experiencing today. I'm not sure what the Chinese
would say about the weather disrupting our internal
energy balance, but I'm sure they had something to
say. Keep your ecchinacia handy!
