I awoke last night to the sound of thunder

How far off I sat and wondered

Started humming a song from 1962

Ain't it funny how the night moves

When you just don't seem to have as much to lose

Strange how the night moves

With autumn closing in

[ Bob Seger - Night Moves ]

Happy Sliders Sunday everybody!

And enjoy the autumn! ;-)

I have tried to meet up with the captain of this rust bucket several nights in a row, but as the trawler's name implies he's movin' at night. Wonder what songs he's hummin' from 1962.......

Bob Seger's "Night Moves"

Enjoy!

She moves around my ivy and stays hidden most of the time but she let me see her today...

Originally by Bob Seger but given a new angsty angle by James Hetfield and Metallica on their Garage Incorporated cover album (s).

A little convoluted maybe with a guitar pick and miniature JD’s but I had them around as my first attempt was ‘Whiskey in the Jar’.

But your thoughts will soon be wanderin'

The way they always do

When you're ridin' 16 hours

There's nothin' much to do

And you don't feel much like ridin'

You just wish the trip was through

Here I am, on the road again

There I am, up on the stage

There I go playin' the star again

There I go, turn the page

Later in the evenin'

As you lie awake in bed

With the echoes of the amplifiers

Ringin' in your head

You smoke the day's last cigarette

Rememberin' what she said

What she said

There’ll be times when I’ll rise

There’ll be times when I’ll fall

There’ll be times when its best to say nothing at all

Knowing you’re right

Letting it be

I’ll be around

If you’ll wait for me

Playing the oldies at the Silver Diner....

Just take those old records off the shelf.....

Hey Jude, don’t make it bad....

See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen.....

happy mid-summer

(PsychedelicSunday)

Seems like yesterday but it was long ago.

We were young and strong.

We were running against the wind.

Well those drifters days are past me now

I've got so much more to think about

Deadlines and commitments

What to leave in, what to leave out

Mainstreet

By Bob Seger

I remember standing on the corner at midnight

Trying to get my courage up

There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown

I loved to watch her do her stuff

Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep

Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat

Down on Mainstreet

In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers

I used to watch 'em through the glass

Well I'd stand outside at closing time

Just to watch her walk on past

Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet

As she made her way alone down that empty street

Down on Mainstreet

And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat

I drift back in time and I find my feet

Down on Mainstreet

Down on Mainstreet

Processed with Luminar 3 (Film Noir) look and feel.

This was the first record I ever bought.

There's a hard moon risin' on the streets tonight

There's a reckless feeling in your heart

The fire inside ...Bob Seger

HMM

Speaking for artists; those of us on flickr as well as ALL artists, musicians, performers, athletes, etc I feel the lyrics in this Bob Seger song capsulate the frustrations, demands and pressures imposed on artists as their fans become overwhelming at times. Expecting or demanding more, more and more from the artist. Each new piece and performance has to be better, more spectacular – or else the artist or performer does not live up to “their” (the fans) expectations. It becomes exhausting and frankly depressing for the artist/performer. Never quite good enough……. These words in Bob Seger’s lyrics tell a story – a story of weariness and loneliness. Listen to music that none other than the great (but now old and fading into obscurity) Bob Seger sings as he grinds out this somewhat mournful story. He tells a story of which I can relate. Of which, I suspect many of us can relate. The music gradually fades, melting into the fields and hills and valleys until there is no more. No more sound. No more words - just a fading memory of what was. No more recognition – just a distant memory of what was and obscurity.

Frankly I doubt this artwork (which I spent hours and hours putting together) will receive no more than a passing glance………or worse yet, people will immediately be looking for something better, more entertaining from me. Well folks, I’m old and coming to the end of the line. I don’t know how much more……. or better is left in me.

BTW - How many of you know that Bob Seger was (is) a Michigan boy – raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

On a long and lonesome highway

East of Omaha

You can listen to the engine

Moanin' out his one note song

You can think about the woman

Or the girl you knew the night before

But your thoughts will soon be wandering

The way they always do

When you're ridin' sixteen hours

And there's nothin' much to do

And you don't feel much like ridin',

You just wish the trip was through

Here I am

On the road again

There I am

Up on the stage

Here I go

Playin' star again

There I go

Turn the page

Well you walk into a restaurant,

Strung out from the road

And you feel the eyes upon you

As you're shakin' off the cold

You pretend it doesn't bother you

But you just want to explode

Most times you can't hear 'em talk,

Other times you can

All the same old cliches,

"Is that a woman or a man?"

And you always seem outnumbered,

You don't dare make a stand

Here I am

On the road again

There I am

Up on the stage

Here I go

Playin' star again

There I go

Turn the page

Out there in the spotlight

You're a million miles away

Every ounce of energy

You try to give away

As the sweat pours out your body

Like the music that you play

Later in the evening

As you lie awake in bed

With the echoes from the amplifiers

Ringin' in your head

You smoke the day's last cigarette,

Rememberin' what she said

Here I am

On the road again

There I am

Up on the stage

Here I go

Playin' star again

There I go

Turn the page

Here I am

On the road again

There I am

Up on the stage

Here I go

Playin' star again

There I go

Turn the page

There I go

There I go

* Just for explanation sake, this artwork encompasses 57 different Photoshop Layers, 17 Channels (including the red, green, blue and the RGB composite channel and 13 paths in the Path layers. The composition incorporates 12 different digital photographic elements in composite. Being this was an “on again, off again” project, I would guess that I have about 60-70 hours work in this “thing”. Over the course of 2-3 weeks I turned on – turned off and dimmed, brightened so many lights, I cannot count. Oh, yes – the one light fixture on the Singlefinger Speed Shop is “off” on purpose……….. the light bulb burned out months ago and Elmer Singlefinger never got around to replacing it ;)

So anyway folks:

There I go

On a long and lonesome highway east of omaha

You can listen to the engines moaning out as one note song

You think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before

But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do

When youre riding sixteen hours and theres nothing much to do

And you dont feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through

Here I am - on the road again

There I am - up on the stage

Here I go - playing star again

There I go - turn the page

So you walk into this restaurant strung out from the road

And you feel the eyes upon you, as youre shaking off the cold

You pretend it doesnt bother you, but you just want to explode

Yeah, most times you cant hear em talk, other times you can

All the same old clichs, is it woman? is it man?

And you always seem outnumbered, you dont dare make a stand

Make your stand

Here I am - on the road again

There I am - up on the stage

Here I go - playing star again

There I go - turn the page

Oo-ooh, out there in the spotlight, youre a million miles away

Every ounce of energy you try to give away

As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play, yeah

Later in the evening, you lie awake in bed

With the echoes of the amplifiers ringing in your head

You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said

What she said

He-ey

Yeah

And here I am - on the road again

There I am - up on a stage

Here I go - playing star again

There I go - turn the page

There I go - turn that page

There I go, yeah, yeah

There I go, yeah, yeah

There I go, yeah

There I go, yeah

There I go, oo-oo-ooh

There I go

And Im gone

I inherited all of my athletic abilities from my father. He was a star athlete in multiple sports when he was young (football, basketball, baseball, waterskiing, track) and later in life he transitioned into playing softball for a few teams. I can remember going to watch him when I was a tiny little thing and how thrilling I found sitting on the bench in the dugout with his teammates while I watched him play. He loaned me his glove in law school when I was playing for our school team in the law school softball tournament in Virginia. This glove has made a lot of tremendous catches (including a game-winning diving catch that shattered my dad's finger and sent him to the hospital). And it's perfectly worn. He keeps it on a shelf in his library now. A reminder of his glory days, I think.

March 2016 Arches National Park four night Milky Way night sky workshop is now full

In early March 2016, I will lead / host a four night Milky Way night sky workshop.

During that workshop I will take my group to Arches National Park, Professor Valley, Canyonlands, Monument Valley and down to Kayenta, AZ. After shooting the Milky Way, we'll shoot sunrise and many other sites in the best morning light.

I'm already thinking about that incredible drive from Moab, UT down to Monument Valley, AZ and on down to Kayenta. As we drive beyond The Mittens area in Monument Valley, we''ll see the ancient volcano Agathla Peak, just north of Kayenta.

Looking around here these days there's nothing around but Winter's bleariness, so I dredged this little gem up from the archives... Taken this past Christmas day!!

It was a damn cold evening but the sunset was wonderful. While shooting the sunset I've had a song in my mind. An old song by Bob Seger. Does anyone remember Fire Lake

Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy...Bob Seger, Night Moves

I think about Seger's old song whenever I'm out late in the day and taking pictures of corn.

You'll never even get me out on the floor

In 10 minutes I'll be late for the door

I like that old time rock and roll

Bob Seger - Old Time Rock & Roll

Who's gonna ride that chrome three wheeler

Who's gonna make that first mistake

Who wants to wear those gypsy leathers

All the way to Fire Lake...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While on a fishing trip to Collins Lake last week, we had to leave the park to get cell reception to make a phone call...and as we did so, we got hit with a tornado warning...

Thought those things didn't happen in sunny California?...

“One of the huge mistakes people make is that they try to force an interest on themselves. You don't choose your passions; your passions choose you.”

I am so glad this passion for capturing the beauty in this world chose me. The image used on the cover of this Rock and Roll legend's new album is mine!!! It was such a huge honor to work with the record company and Bob Seger on this project! Bob also browsed though my entire portfolio to hand pick more images that appear inside the album and CD booklet!

Being recognized in such huge ways this past year, has been quite humbling. It has provided me the drive and desire, to only work harder at this craft I love so much. It has pushed me to want to see more, learn more, do more and be the best I can possibly be. Thank you to all of you for supporting me along this portion of my journey. Wishing you all the best in 2015! Happy New Year!

Well those drifter days are past me now

I've got so much more to think about

Deadlines and commitments

What to leave in, whar to leave out

Against the wind

Bom fim de semana pra todos, vou ali e volto...

Spotted while out in Eastern Market.

Despite the appearance on your first glance, this is NOT an abandoned building, but rather the historic Michigan Theater Building. Opening in 1926 it was once one of the two most ornate theaters in the entire city. After it closed it became the Michigan Palace ( from 1972 to 1976 ) , where rock groups early in their careers played ( Kiss recorded part of Alive here, and Aerosmith, Rush, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Thin Lizzy, REO Speedwagon, and a whole host of others played here on their early tours ) . This door is located near where the stage was - and may or may not have been en entrance used by the performers. It is currently a building filled with different businesses, and the former stage is now part of the most beautiful parking garages you will ever see.

.

Le rezan al dios del viento

"¡Alabado seas, mi señor!"

Rogando que sus soplidos

Se lleven todo lo malo

Lejos de sus vidas

Esperando que un torbellino

De buenos deseos

Les haga surcar las olas

Hacia el onírico e insonsable

Océano del misticismo

Mientras, nosotros nos tragamos

El humo de sus incendios

La arena de todos los desiertos

Caminando siempre contra el viento...
