Jumping over the men and hitting the balloon. These exercises are done before the performance of Kalaripayattu.
As the third in the green stream series, I saw this small section of Rock Creek and decided that I needed to get in tight to catch this shot. Needless to say, I got wet for this shot but then if it's a mountain stream, I am usually in it. I HAD to maneuver to the right spot in order to compose this shot. I'll be the one with the wet jeans. I will say that my longer zoom was handy in this particular spot.
eDDie got a wild hare (Loveland tularemia, probably) to go specifically to Rock Creek above Allenspark to hunt wildflowers and he called me up. I have been up there several times and knew the area and the route. I am sure that he was not ready for the experience. He was astounded by the number of campers that could pack into this narrow gully by the nasty road/trail. I have not been up here since the flood but it looks like it got badly hit. The Forest Service kindly marked our parking space with a "closed for revegetation" sign. Handy! I bailed his Blazer like a flash, well at my flash speed. I was ready to shoot with my long lens. The normal zoom would have been a lot better plan. I was already busy shooting when eDDie came by on his way after wildflowers, great stuck with my stream shots and ended up with enough for a series.
Actually, Rock Creek flows more quickly down and through Ferncliff instead of toward Allenspark. There are a large number of possibilities up this creek (pronounced crick in the Rockies) and for me, it lead to the one-legged man in the trouser factory syndrome but this was easier to keep the campers from the frame. I decided, without input, to start a green stream series from the lot that I snapped. As I opened the captures, I usually feel that I left shots behind no matter where I visit, eDDie's or my venues.
After I started editing my original shots of Rock Creek, I thought of the bounty of camper cars parked up the trickle. I decided I might return with my normal zoom during the week for a massive plunder of captures.
I have been too busy to do much stitching lately so I'm getting back into the swing of things by batch making cards using machine embroidery.
These are the results
My third attempt at sketching a pile of books to learn how to construct volumes. Proportions are still off, but the angles are more accurate than in the second attempt.
The books are:
Anna Ahmatova Poetry Volume 2
Memoirs of Nadezhda Mandelshtam
John E Bowlt's "Moscow and St. Petersburg in Russian's Silver age"
I'd love to learn more about poetry, specially the poetry of Russian Silver Age. I should start by reading through all the poetry, history and memoirs books I own.
Aleph drops in on his men during some morning exercises. It's good to be prepared at all times, never know when the next contract will arrive.
Left over Night Creeper shot!!
Story about a class of IMPACT (Intensive Motivational Program of Alternative Correctional Treatment) inmates in Louisiana. It's a program for first-time offenders for certain crimes that allows them to avoid incarceration in the general population and upon completion do probation. I made 6-7 trips to the prison in Gonzales, La. to follow one group from their first day there until graduation day over several months in 1989.
Keith Lawrence and I worked on this one for several months before it was published in the Sunday Magazine.

Since the sports facilities and gyms are still closed and I do not have many ideas for new galleries, taking new photos is therefore always a good opportunity to do some sports. Posing alone can be quite exhausting, adding some stretching and strengthening and you have a good hour of workout. So this is quite an ordinary gallery, nevertheless I think the pictures are nice. The bright leotard over the black zentai looks great with the hard, cold light.
Hope you'll like it too :-)
Stay safe and healthy!

I sometimes like to practice the photographic eye with minimalistic street photography, trying to capture aspects of spring (or any other season), when looking down at the ciy's pavement. © Tom Kisjes

I want to do my exercises but it's winter and the weather is terrible so it's cold and rainy outside. Therefore I'm not going out jogging along the river like I usually do, but prefer to stay inside and do my workout at home. Let's start with some jogging on the spot to warm up...
Our beloved Igor went to join the saints in heaven on 12/30. He had been diagnosed with cancer in Feb. so we were thankful that we had him as long as we did. There are a few more book photos of him in Dec. - I'm so glad I have many photographs of this good natured affectionate cat. We will miss him.
An interesting exercise in looking back at high school experiences from a distance of many years...and how the art world can be manipulative.
