Bright October

floral, flowers, photography, poem, poetry 1 Minute 
yesterday's flower
   at the north end
      of a sunbeam,

   some things 
   seem never 
      outdated. 

but yesterday's
      sunshine has
lost its meaning,

   relevance and 
      excitement,
colours fading now.

   as i look out the 
      window, i see 
winter approach.

a chill already
      blights the 
morning light.

I make photos to make myself feel good; I share in hope of making you feel good. I do as much as I can in the camera, but it does not always end there. Part of making an image in the 21st century is processing a captured image in the computer. This is like dodging and burning in the darkroom of yesterday. (I've done that.) I use Photoshop cc and Lightroom cc. The result is not always what I saw, maybe what I wish I saw. Sometimes, the resulting image is a creation more than a recording. Most of the time, I keep it believable and realistic. I have a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing. I have shared thousands of my poems on the internet, to a considerable audience and I'm considering making a selection of them, in a book or books.

  1. Here comes a feeling of déjà vu, yes it feels like I’ve had this talk before. Similar sensations and impressions after winter arrived and began to settle in. Feelings that I can taste and smell. The aroma and flavours of steamy apple- cinnamon and pumpkin pie. Belonging somewhere, belonging to someone, the feeling of being home. Making the best and appreciating the little things. Spring lays beneath. Wishing you a warm October. It is cold here too.
