What a Day...

It has been a while since i have written anything on here...Thanksgiving.  What does it men to you?  I miss my daughter, i miss my old life that i had even if it was not good, i still miss it.  I miss my old friends that i have left over the years all over the county.

It has been a hard day for me today...

This happens to our relationships sometimes and no matter what we do, nothing can bring the color and warmth back into it. So, sadly, it stays cold and gray never to return to its former glory and then dies away...

A Distant Future Memory...

Through my photography i express myself. I am able to find my creative and artsy center and also my technological side. For me it is personal and i look at the world in a different way.

When people and my friends, close friends notice and make comments about my work, i get filled with emotion. Good emotions and more yearning to strive to make better photography. But i also get filled with a sadness from them as well.

All i wanted from om other half, when i had her, was for her to accept this new me and to realize the passion that i had from my creations. All i got was mocking and scorn or money comments. I just wanted her to say that i was a good photographer and that my work was good, not that it was good when she wanted and needed me to do a photo for her.

In that aspect, acceptance was what i wanted from her and that my photography, my art, my passion, could and did not have a price that she could hold in her hands. The boat on the lake that i so love and the God created sunset in the sky is a future that we could have had. A glimpse of a future that will not be for us to have for she could not see the beauty and art in my passion... Only the bottom dollar.

David Bowie - Thursdays child

I can so totally relate to this song and i always have been able to. "the song's about a guy living with a girl he doesn't love, same point from the girl, they're trying to work it out but things remain the same."

DSC00934: Sunset Rattlesnake 1.0

4th Of July!! Lake Sam Rayburn Texas: Rattlesnake Island!!!

Another in the Sunset Series.

Later on in the evening, more boats have gone...

I love how the bodies are in silhouette against the water and the deep tones i achieved using a "Center Weighted" metering mode for this photo. It lets you know that the night is just about upon the people left on the island and the wonderment of what is to come later...

Looking Into The Distance...

I have not written here in a while. Life still goes on and i am like a leaf being blown down the road and into the water.

Looking West off into the distance standing in the middle of HWY 255 on the southern end of Lake Sam Rayburn. I wonder where it will end or where it begins...

I am just caught in confusion and strange emotions today and i do not like it. The reality of me moving home after 8 years of being away and the loss of my job and my family in the divorce is really bothering me this evening. I miss my friends in St Louis and the activities that i did there with them...

I really miss my daughter Chelsea. That is the worst part of the divorce and moving away from there. I did not know how much of an impact that it was going to have on me...

I have yet another life to live now. Starting over and beginning to live another life in the continuing saga that has been my time so far...
