I can feel my spine turning back into steel. I can feel being able to do it on my own again. Maybe it's the upcoming trip to NYC, getting back with my best friends, and getting that nerve it takes to just do whatever and bitch out anyone who tells I me can't. Because I'm stupidly just doing it.
I had a pretty shitty week. On Monday, I thought it was Thursday. Tuesday, same thing. Wednesday, I thought it was Friday and Thursday, I thought it was Saturday.
I knew it was Monday because I had to do "Bench Monday". I knew it was Tuesday because I had to do "Face Down Tuesday"....and these were the highlights of my day. That and Monday night "All Tech Considered" on NPR makes me happy.
My resentment for all things "NOT OK" must be exuding from my pores. Work people started to avoid me like the plague except for fun work friends. One has it in her head that she's going to smack me in the ass...you know...because it's football season. If you yell, "GO TEAM!" after said smack, it's not sexual harassment. I find this hysterical, so now I'm trying not to bend over when she's in a room with me. I need to smack her first....but not in front of children. So this makes the game more complicated.
Still holding my tongue on second job BRAIN EXPLODING! But I guess I was able to send the signal without having to speak. John and I just threw darts. I almost hit a few people, but a shot of tequila and a beer later, I was able to focus. Semi-close game. He was all zen, I was all like, "No, I must concentrate my anger, stay focused on it, and do something about it...like throw sharp objects."
Anyway, I was driving home in bumper to bumper traffic on side streets. WEIRD and annoying. I saw sky writing, so on my 9th detour, I stopped into filmmakers and was like "DUDE! SKY WRITING!! GRAB ALL EQUIPMENT!!" That made the guy at the equipment desk happy, and it made my day a million times better.
haha juust for fun...we did this a couple weeks ago. we all contributed to the ideas so i'm not taking all the credit!
"lessons learned"-matt and kim. love this song.!

"Someday you're gonna look back on this moment of your life as such a sweet time of grieving. You'll see that you were in mourning and your heart was broken, but your life was changing..."
it's effin' hard work.
really fun, but incredibly tricky.
this one really bothers me on flickr's white background. much easier on the eyes if you press "L"
It was only ten days ago that I shot a couple of photographs on 10-10-10. So, when I saw an attractive redhead walking through the park with 10-10-10 on her shirt, I had to stop her for my 100 Strangers project.
Rhonda is a registered nurse who specializes in home care. We talked about the changes in health care over the past ten years, as well as it's future. She readily agreed to be part of the 100 Strangers project. I took several photos of her in the overcast light. As I closed in to get a tighter portrait, I neglected to stop down my aperture. It was set on ƒ2.8. As the distance from the point of focus decreases, the depth of field also decreases. The tighter shots focused on the bill of Rhonda's cap, not on her eyes as I intended.
We parted and as I was chimping the shots I realized this. The manual focus lens on my F2 would have saved me, but it was at home, on my F2. I found and approached Rhonda again. She graciously agreed to a few more shots, but the light was not the same, and the serendipity was gone. I decided to go with my first captures for the project.
Later, using GIMP, I softened the bill of Rhonda's cap in the close-up I chose. Although the image is still out of focus, at least it is not in focus in the wrong place. After photographing women at that fragile age between youth and medicare, while using tack sharp focus that shows every wrinkle and pore, I began to wonder if a little less focus might be preferable. I'm not certain which direction is best, and I toss the question to the feet of the same women in that age bracket.
Rhonda, I hope you are happy with the images. Thank you for the reshoot, and for being stranger number 115. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the flickr group page.

The Keyhole Garden in May of 2019
My keyhole garden turned 1 year-old the other day, here’s a few things I learned along the way
Of all of my projects over the past couple of years, the keyhole garden has been one of my favorites. Not only was it fun, easy and fairly cheap to build, but it’s been way more productive than I ever imagined.
The keyhole garden turned one year old a few days ago and the spring / early summer plant transition is in process. As this is my second time around, I’m adjusting a few things based on what I learned last year.
If you’re thinking of starting a keyhole garden or similar raised garden bed, or if you’ve tried in the past but things didn’t go well, here’s a few lessons I learned that might help you:
Lesson 1 : If it’s a new bed, don’t skimp on soil
Keyhole gardens are designed to take bad dirt and turn it into fertile soil by composting organic matter both in the middle of and under the bed. But unless you want to wait a full season, for that to happen, you’re best off using a loamy, weed free, compost soil blend.
Where I live the soil is primarily decomposed sandstone. It drains well when loose, but has little nutritional value and is hard as concrete when dry and compacted (which is most of the time).
Knowing that, I opted to bring in a soil mix that was primarily compost and manure. My neighbor built the same type of garden but used fill from another section of his yard.
We both had a pretty good late spring / early summer harvest, but under the heat of the late-summer San Diego sun, his bed turned to one with a giant stone slab on top that no water or plant could penetrate. His plants fried but mine thrived sponging up moisture and nutrients from a good loamy soil.
Lesson 2 : Make sure there’s access all the way around the bed
This is an obvious one, but I forgot it anyway. The keyhole garden is circular to allow you easy access to any part of the bed without a big reach.
If you don’t have clear access all the way around (because, say, you let a bunch of butterfly iris’ grow in the back since they looked nice from the dining room window), you won’t be able to maintain the stuff you can’t reach. That will grow and spill over into other places until you can’t reach them either. Before you know it, a third of the bed is a jungle scene from Jumanji.
Avoid the potential battles with man-eating vegetables by making sure you’ve got a path all the way around your keyhole bed.
Lesson 3 : Mulch, mulch, mulch
A keyhole garden has really good drainage, which–most of the time–is a good thing. But that great drainage also means the top inch or so of your soil can get hot, dry and roasty, or frozen solid rather quickly.
Either way, anything young or shallow rooted in the bed will get fried. A good layer of fine mulch (nothing with big chunks of bark or wood), solves this and gives you a nice bunch of organic matter to turn back into the bed later.
Personally, I’m gifted with a gigantic podocarpus whose main hobby seems to be proving that it’s possible to drop a 30 gallon trash bin’s worth of tiny leaves every week, so I’ve got plenty of mulch onsite. But any sifted compost, shredded coco, etc. will work.
Lesson 4 : Feed and turn your compost bin
The compost bin in the center of the keyhole garden is the nutrient engine for the bed, but once the garden is growing, it’s easy to forget that it’s central to the garden (literally).
Make sure you feed it regularly with vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells, and plant debris from your garden.
And turn it every couple of weeks too. Yes, it’s icky, but doesn’t smell and turning the bin’s contents with a shovel or garden fork will move uncomposted organic material to the center where your worm friends can turn it into rich, nutritious worm castings that seep back into the garden.
When you do turn it, note how many worms are in your soil. Mine looks like it’s 90% worm and 10% compost. Soil that is very much alive!
Lesson 5 : Plant shorter varieties
My final word of advice is to pick smaller or dwarf varieties to plant in your keyhole garden.
Because it’s designed so the gardener doesn’t have to stoop or bend (much) when tending it, it’s a little higher than your average raised bed. If you’re growing trailing or bushy plants, it’s great. Very convenient.
But, if you plant things like big indeterminate tomatoes or tall corn, you’re going to find the combination of the bed and plant height will make it so you need a cherry picker and safety net to harvest them (learned that lesson the hard way).
=*=
Well, that rounds out the big lessons I learned during my first year with the keyhole garden. I am still really impressed with how simple and productive it is with little-to-no effort on my part.
My new goal is to keep it in continuous production year round by doing a better job of planning plant transitions. Last year I didn’t do that and the bed had a week of down time between clearing out all the spent summer plants and replacing them with fall and winter. This year I’m hoping to just keep rolling through all four seasons with no gaps. I’ll let you know how successful I am.

I was lucky enough to attend iCON conference in Prague where Mike was a keynote speaker. We met in person there for the first time. It was awesome! I had the occasion to see with my eyes the Master at work and I learned more in those days than in 2 years
