Barn in June

beautiful, landscape, photography, poem, poetry, scenery, summer 1 Minute 
such a beautiful
      june morning!
sunshine burning
      an image in
   my ancient eyes.

across her fields,
      a falling barn
      squats beside
expanding woods.

      summer heat
baked barn siding
   many years ago.

   we wander past
      and see a ruin,
reminding me of
   my own ruin,

   still falling,
   still failing,
   still happy
      to be alive.

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.
