Tonight as I lay in bed, I contemplated the changes life has brought me over the past year. It has been a very good year indeed, 2007! For a time tonight I lay in bed and the moon was shining though the window, and as I lay there, I stroked the silky beautiful hair of my wife, Sherry Malone. I am almost frightened by how much I love her. I miss her when I am at work, and I am an absolute wreck when she goes away on a weekend jaunt with our boys that I cannot attend due to work.
Something very strange happened when I met Sherry for the first time back in 2005. The minute I met her, I knew she was my destiny. I knew she was the most perfect person for me...and that I was the perfect man for her. We have had a few tough spots, just like anyone does bringing two families together, but I know we will make it and thrive. Oh how I just love, adore and respect this woman laying next to me. Thank you Lord Jesus for bringing her into my life. I pray that I am everything she and our boys need! My love for her is whole and simple. Much like this rose.

From the first roll shot with a new and very basic Leica M-A, which will eventually replace the M7 for 35mm film work. It was a bit unnerving shooting a Leica without an in-camera meter, but in reality the exposures were more accurate than with the M7 - probably because my guesses were calibrated periodically with a Sekonic ambient light meter.
Shot with the Zeiss 50mm C-Sonnar on 400TX (Tri-X), and processed for EI1600 in XTOL stock.
I like the simplicity of this one, there is no photoshopping or anything in this one, just cropped slightly in iPhoto
It amazes me sometimes how beautiful simplicity can be. A plain white facade with a few features of color is all you need. It is not of my faith, but this particular church holds a special place in our hearts and has for a long time. It isn't the building or the architecture. It is the man behind the pulpit who gives the building life and meaning. These days, in his light, we are all better versions of ourselves.

Sometimes the most beautiful things in life are the simplest.
This picture was taken at the same day and at the same location as I took the other picture: Left Alone.
There are so many little flowers in ther forest. You just have to wait for the perfect light.
Taken with another manual lens of my grandfather. A Pentacon 100mm 2.8. Beautiful lens!!!

Vous devinez ce que c'est?
Sortie photo avec un ami dimanche. Une maison abandonnée trouvée dans un rang de campagne.
Je la dédie à Denis, il sait très bien pourquoi :-)
NAPG theme for February - Simplicity. Morgan County, Alabama - 2015. Farm scene. Mineral bucket in the snow.
my wife asked me,
where have you been the last three hours ?
I created a picture.
Wow, she said, looks like a Mackintosh.
I didn't think of Charles Rennie ... I was just in a flow ...
I said, pretending to be indignant
and smiled at her ...

have left the grid several times, that's the only way good things happen ...
grid versus texture versus pattern ...
;-) ...
Because I mentioned Ch.R.Mc ...
I could have also mentioned Oswald Mathias Ungers ...
Mackintosh was contradictory in a contradictory time of upheaval ... he admired the style, Wiki thinks, because of its restraint and economy of means rather than ostentatious accumulation; its simple forms and natural materials rather than elaboration and artifice; and its use of texture and light and shadow rather than pattern and ornament. In the old western style, furniture was seen as ornament that displayed the wealth of its owner; the value of the piece was established according to the length of time spent creating it. In the Japanese arts furniture and design focused on the quality of the space, which was meant to evoke a calming and organic feeling to the interior.
At the same time a new philosophy concerned with creating functional and practical design was emerging throughout Europe: modernism. The central aim in modernism was to develop a purity of expression with designs explicitly responsive to intended building use. Ornament and traditional styles were demoted. Although Mackintosh has been counted as a pioneer of modernism, his work always retained a decorative sensibility and features ornament. Mackintosh took his inspiration from his Scottish upbringing and blended them with the flourish of
Art Nouveau
and the simplicity of Japanese forms.
While working in architecture, Charles Rennie Mackintosh developed his own style: a contrast between strong right angles and floral-inspired decorative motifs with subtle curves (for example, the Mackintosh Rose motif), along with some references to traditional Scottish architecture. The project that helped make his international reputation was the Glasgow School of Art (1897–1909). During the early stages of the Glasgow School of Art Mackintosh also completed the Queen's Cross Church project in Maryhill, Glasgow. It is the only built Mackintosh church design and is now the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society headquarters. As with his contemporary
Frank Lloyd Wright,
Mackintosh's architectural designs often included extensive specifications for the detailing, decoration, and furnishing of his buildings. The majority, if not all, of this detailing and significant contributions to his architectural drawings were designed and detailed by his wife Margaret Macdonald whom Charles had met when they both attended the Glasgow School of Art. Their work was shown at the eighth
Vienna Secession Exhibition
in 1900.

Sometimes it takes a very visits to a scene before you start seeing new compositions. Today I revisited a local jetty after seeing some interesting clouds, and suddenly I saw the simplicity of this image in my head and found it appealing.
