Found Art 3 weeks ago

There was a movement in the 1920s – 1930s which sought to find art in the common everyday occurances. Some of which included collages of materials found on the street.

As a photographer, I sometimes seek out common sights in the home or around the home.

Here is one from my ‘fridge. Not intentional juxtaposition: just happened.

Pain 1 month ago

My uncle was married to his wife for over fifty years: that is staying power.

He was lucky to die before the Altzheimers took her memory.

She couldn’t even recognize her children. She did talk to dead people – but that wasn’t much of a consolation to my cousins.

Tough Old Coots 1 month ago

My parents generation endured the depression and the world in gratitude followed up with World War II.

No wonder they think we are wimps.

They are tough old coots.

Why do we take photographs? 1 month ago

A friend of mine once said that the answer, the true answer, to any question lives at the end of the “five whys”. What she meant was that for any question you have to dig down an additional four layers to uncover the truth.

Q: Why do we take photographs?
Why 1: To capture a moment.
Why 2: To remember something special.
Why 3: Because we want to remember.
Why 4: Because we love the person or the scene.
Why 5: Because we are finite.

It certainly could be other “why’s” depending upon the person but the 5th why is never the same as the first why.

For me: it is the realization that we are finite and that I love the people or the scene that I photograph that forces me to keep a camera handy.

What are your five whys?

I was going over my list and realized I haven’t really done this yet so today i took random pictures around my house. It was kind of fun. Nothing spectacular but meaningful to me none the less. I have to remember to put my camera in my purse for this to be marked complete!
