Photography, Color and Gratitude-

 

Lack of Color
Like with many of you, the demands of life are great. I spend too much time at work - late nights and weekends. Chores take more time from family and family takes time from hobbies. I still find time to travel, homebrew, study and enjoy my beer. However, Hiking, biking and the camera are no longer on any agenda. Before "Digital", in the days of "Film", I lived near bay, ocean, mountain, farm and woods. This provided a great opportunity to enhance my interest in color through amateur nature photography. Now the world of digital photography has provided an outstanding display of color. The level of graphic-photographic display in video, magazine and other art is truly amazing today.

Sometimes a lack of color best conveys the connotation.

Balance -  I continue to seek more color in Life -

Natural is Supernatural!
Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.
And look into space; you shall see Him walking in the cloud, outstretching His arms in the lightning and descending in rain.
You shall see Him smiling in flowers, then rising and waving His hands in the trees.

 Verse from The Prophet - Kahil Gibran 1923.    Photo from movie - Joe Verses the Volcano 1990 Warner Bros.

My photographic adventures for the past twenty years has been limited (very limited), to documenting and cataloging my family and travels.
