Well, it’s not the first time that I have worked with an artist and photographed the work… but now I’m doing quite a bit of work with an artist… Here’s a very cool Wolf Charm… It’s hand tooled and painted on leather…. You can see more of the art at lionfirestudio.com it’s truly amazing to see

As with any new adventure, there are things, places, and most of all people that left with the last adventure….. The good news is with the magic of today you are able to keep in touch with the special people in your life…. This photo was taken by a fantastic photographer named Steven Underhill…. He’s an SF based photographer…. who from time to times lets me work on some of his photos…. this one I did a little touch to it… It’s an actor from NY…..  You can google Steven’s name if you need any photo work….. not to repeat myself…. he’s a fantastic photographer…. and a good friend… well it looks like I just repeated myself….

Well, yesterday we went out and took a look around….. to do some test shots for my first Waterfall…. we found Looking Glass Falls just off the road and quite impressive it was… it was not a good time to take a photo but we did stop and enjoy the sight … I did take a shot with my x100 fuji just to get an idea…. really the wrong time of day, but it’s still impressive….

Well, it’s a good thing that I really like rainy days…….

I don’t know about you…..but I always wonder……what’s behind this old door…..

As we move through time…and move to new places…. there is always time to remember the things from our past, good times, good friends…. here is a simple photograph…..Happy Birthday Natalie….

There are times when you see something…… which makes you suddenly remember something…. it’s usually some small event in your life… that under normal times would not ever flashback into your mind… I was helping a friend do some work at a house and in the back area, I found this…. So what’s the backstory you ask….. Well, one summer a long time ago I got one of these can crushers…. and mounted it in our garage…. of course when my Father saw it he said why did you get this…. and of course, I was quick to answer with a smug smart ass tone to my voice that this would make smashing my cans quicker… to which my father said you only allowed to drink a 6 pack of coke a week…. and your foot was more than enough to take care of the job….you wasted your money and most likely won’t even use it……. as it turned out… he was right…. sort of looks like this has not been used much lately either…..

Life slows down when you go for a walk, now I’m not talking a power walk…I’m talking take some time,  as they say…..look around smell the roses…. and it’s amazing what you might see….. I found out where the “King” has been hanging out…..yep over a hardware store somewhere in NC mountains…….

Sometimes the things that catch your eye to some may seem a little strange… for me I have always liked gravel roads…. when I was younger I use to ride dirt bikes…and for me there was nothing better to pitch your bike sideways as you powered around a corner… just the thrill of it…. and it was always fun to see what might be around the next turn…..Well looks like that has not changed much for me…

On this day The Beatles were awarded their first silver disc, for sales of more than 250,000 copies of their single Please Please Me…
