Aperture and Fog

I find it fascinating that when the eye focuses on something near,

the background becomes just a blur. The farther away it focuses,

the more the rest of the "image" or "view" also comes into focus,
although the foreground then starts to blur.

I never really noticed depth of focus with my own eyes until I saw it through a lens.

Missed Mediums

       A Recent India Ink and Watercolor: Oh, I have missed these mediums.

        Lately I have been really taken with the works of Don Hong Oai and Rodney Smith (his photographs taken in B & W in particular). You can click on their names to see some of their prints.

        Simplicity and two moments merged into one is how I would explain Mr. Oai's pictures. I want to take that and Smith's ability to combine elegance with unexpected childness (not childishness:) and explore them in India Ink with watercolour in a monochromatic scale. 

Nightscape and Littlefoot

My niece adores Dinosaurs, and so did I when I was young. 

I'm sure that "Land Before Time" may have been the starting point for both of us,

and we may have looked for the green valley too.

Dream big and don't worry when roadblocks come.

They are very often steps in a staircase we can't see.

When light dances on water I see music move.

Relativity

Tomorrow is my 
Moment 
kept in a cage 
that can
only be released with
Hope.

Goodly Whole

Look and find,
Listen to hear,
Leap no fear,
and
Leave in light.
