I've been considering color photography more lately since the opening of a great show at the Cincinnati Art Museum.

Seriously, could I be all over the board any more? And do I care?

I have a notion that anything can be pictured,

that content is not that relevant.

What I need is a sense of urgency.

It's ironic. When you go to college and get away from your high school classmates, you think "None of these people at the university know me. They don't know my past, my problems, my failures, my mistakes. I can be anyone I want to be now." And then 34 years later, when you meet up with those same high school classmates, you think "All of these people know me. They know my past, my problems, my failures, my mistakes. And I don't have to be someone I'm not."

Last night was fun.

Okay, so she's not outside, but it WAS taken in May.

Sometimes the pieces all fit together and life is very very good. Sometimes I don't care if the pieces fit together and life is still very very good.

Why can't I upload photos today?

2009-09-07T09:05:00.002-04:00

It's all been done before. Every picture has been taken. So I have to stop worrying about being original and just keep shooting what I respond to.

Lily had an accident on her scooter. I knew it was bad, because she usually NEVER cries. She just picks herself up, dusts herself off and gets right back on. This time she didn't get back on for 2 weeks.

I really use a lot of duo-toning. I wonder if it's a crutch. Just seems to make the images richer than black and white. Hmmm...

It doesn't matter how you get there does it?

2009-03-23T14:59:00.001-04:00

It's all about the image, right?

A day completely out of the ordinary. And I'm realizing there has been no good reason to stay in my routine. I think I'll go out shooting later. Wow.

Now that I've looked at this a while, I really did WAY too much burning of the midtones on Lily's face.
