Scenes from the Jan 29, 2017 (Madison WI) Community Forum at the Monona Terrace. Estimates of 2,000-3000 in attendance.
You know you're a redneck when you attend a baby shower that is also a barbecue and swimming party and includes for entertainment the shooting of a bowling ball from a homemade cannon.

I know........really strange image. I wanted to photograph this old shed, but I could not find a way to make it more interesting. I decided to do something that I would not usually do, which is put myself in the picture. But, I am not that interesting either. So, I took an old sheet and ripped it up. You can see what I decided to do with it.
This shed is on an old country road and there is nowhere to park. So, I had to drive past it to a lot at the state park (Boonesborough State Park). I walked back to the shed and set up the shot. I had to hurry because my camera was set up in the road and every 60 seconds a car would pass by. After I got the picture, a car was coming so I had to rush and grab my camera. Here is this crazy person darting across the road wrapped in rags running in front of a speeding car.The people in the car drove up the road and then had to turn around to come back and see what I was up to. By that time I had removed the rags and was walking back to my car. As they passed by, I noticed the passenger was on his cell phone. They drove past me to a drive way just down from where I was and turned around to make another pass to get a look at me. All I could do was laugh. I could just imagine the passenger on his cell phone saying " We just passed some crazy nut all wrapped up in rags doin' who-knows-what!!" Insert your best southern accent.
My wife thinks I look like a terrorist and hates this picture......hence the title.
In the catacomb's. I know, right???!! My friends said, after seeing these photos, that only I would show them the photos of skulls first before showing them any photos of emerald fields. They would have been disappointed in me.
St. Michan’s is situated on Church Street behind Dublin’s Four Courts and near the old city fruit and vegetable markets. St. Michan’s Church is the oldest parish church on the north side of the River Liffey. Originally founded in 1095, the present church dates from 1685 and was renovated in 1825. Internally, the church retains its original galleried interior and organ.
Underneath St. Michan’s church are five long burial vaults accessed through stout iron doors in the graveyard. The exact date of construction is unknown though in their present form they may well date from the rebuilding of the church in 1685. The constant dry atmosphere has caused the mummification of the bodies and the preservation of the coffins. Since Victorian time visitors have descended the vault steps to see the mummies. Bram Stoker, creator of the Dracula stories is believed to have visited the vaults in the company of his family. The early visitors to the vaults were responsible for many of the myths and legends surrounding the bodies, though modern scientific investigations have cast doubts on many of these stories.
The vaults contain the remains of many of Dublin’s most influential 17th, 18th and 19th century families, including the legendary Sheares brothers and highly decorated coffins of the Earl’s of Leitrim.
Playing around with natural lighting again.
This is once again in front of the window, mid-afternoon, but before the sun is actually coming in. I like the more natural coloring, but don't like the fact the background is now a drab brown instead of pure black.

Kris knows (I shared all this with him when I taught him how to stitch) that the Ghilyak, or Nivkhi, of Sakhalin, like the Ainu of North Japan, used embroidery in their magic. Stitches were used to diagram spells and make intentions tangible. They were also used to bind or to pin down...people, animals, wealth, desires. Some witches used embroidery to scry, seeing the future in what their hands stitched automatically.
Trapped in the Pacific Ocean, with a serious stomach ulcer, no wind, and contrary currents, Kris focussed his determnation to make it all the way home to Australia into this piece. It is more than just a tapestry, it was his hope and desire made into a physical object, a fetish. Eleggua's necklace, because he is the Orisha of pathways, roads, and voyages. Emu feathers from Australia. The milky way was visible in the night sky as he sailed. The interlaced symbol of eternity has been the symbol of our relationship since we met 20 years ago. The little worry doll became the receptacle of his pain and suffering, carrying it away. This one we keep...it is too charged to let into the world.

I just don't know what to do with myself
I don't know what to do with myself
planning everything for two
doing everything with you
and now that we're through
I just don't know what to do
I just don't know what to do with myself
I don't know what to do with myself
movies only make me sad
parties make me feel as bad
cause I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do
like a summer rose
needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love
to beat love away
well I don't know what to do with myself
just don't know what to do with myself
planning everything for two
doing everything with you
and now that we're through
I just don't know what to do
like a summer rose
needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love
to beat love away
I just don't know what to do with myself
just don't know what to do with myself
just don't know what to do with myself
I don't know what to do with myself
But I do know that I love you...8)
What a Wonderful World (Sam Cooke)
Not meant for anyone. Just one of my more whimsical, happy-go-lucky, but vulnerable sides. I like how the black and white came out in this. The tonal ranges had a good tune. In no way is this meant to be flattering. Having had the opportunity to work for a company such as Southwest Airlines I've learned that being vulnerable is an important aspect of being social.
I don't know if anyone ever reads my descriptions, but I write them anyway, so there!!
Was out today (August 20th 2021) on a forced vacation day, from 9:30AM til' almost 4PM. 80F today but it felt like 100F. This is a very active line and I probably flicked 20 freights today. 750+ flicks. By the time I get rid of a few duplicates, and bad ones, I'm guessing it'll be about 700 +/-. 700 to straighten, fix any color issues, upload, and also ID the writers. It's lots of time and as you can imagine, it's a lot of work, but so far it's been fun. I'm trying to not rush myself to post before I'm ready. I already have the flicks, and they're timeless. So getting them posted ASAP!!!!!! is not really my concern. Duh..
Had an interesting interaction with a guy while out there. Guy with backpack had walked back and forth across the tracks a few times. The lat time I saw him he was on the other side of a set, about 100 yards away. Next thing you know he's coming closer..... Closer..... And I'm like WTF? I'm way out here minding my own business. He walks within' like 10 ft. of me and I say "How ya' doin'?" he says something, and then says "Trains?" and I say "Yep." and he says "Oh.." and walks away. I think he was feelin' me out, as there's a small population of people who's homes are shall I say, mobile. I've talked to a few of them, and have never had a bad interaction, I just don't like people walkin' up on me when I'm trying to get away from the rest of the world out by the tracks. I go out there to get away from people, not to interact.
======================
I follow some other amazing photographers on flickr, but for this I will talk about the ones who flick the freights. There are a few that I really love. Some it's because of the great locations they shoot at, and others it's the amazing little details they manage to capture. For me (right now) I don't have the luxury of walking the lines and seeing pieces static. 99.999% of my flicks the freight is rolling by at 10-50 mph and sometimes I don't really even know what I have until I get home, dump the memory cards and go through the photos. Because of this, most of my flicks are just straight on shots and documenting what I saw and where. I saw this freight here, on this date, here's what was on it, and i captured it. Buffed or scraped next week, well I have it on "film" for future generations (sounds corny, I know). There are times when a freight will stop in-front of me, and I'll walk up and get some shots of monikers, but it's rare.
Obviously in any area there are sidings where freights park for extended periods, I know a few spots, but as I get older, and older, do I really want to leave my car parked on the side of the road and walk 2 miles to capture some little details I might normally miss? I'd love to, but it's just not practical for me at this time, any many other people do it better than I could. Retirement is getting closer every day, maybe then, when my weekdays are free. :-)
======================
During the Covid lockdown, I was working from home, and I was getting out benching like 2 & 3 times a month. Back at work, I'm lucky to have the energy to get out once a month. Every time I do manage to get out, I come home and my batteries feel re-charged. It's been so f-ing hot here in SoCal though, I can't wait for cooler weather and some clouds in the sky.
As always, thanks to the writers!

Things I Know to be True, by Andrew Bovell
Things I Know to be True is a beautifully written drama centring on the lives of a family over the period of a year, poignantly presented through the seasons. It is described as a “complex and intense portrait of the mechanics of a family – and a marriage –through the eyes of four siblings struggling to define themselves beyond their parents’ love and expectations”.

Daily Dog Challenge "116. The Nose Knows -Show us those adorable noses! You can make it artsy or sweet, just feature those noses today!"
Scavenge Challenge February 2012 - "4. You may have to make your own. The subject is mud! Make it look good."
One of the driest winters on record. Can't remember the last time we had measurable rain.
BUT
According to Webster, we have:
mud (noun) - "a slimy sticky mixture of solid material with a liquid and especially water."
Peanut butter is slimy, sticky, and a mixture of solid material (peanuts) and a liquid (peanut oil).
Ta-da! Mud!
