This shot is in memory of my Uncle Tom. He passed away Tuesday night of cancer. He touched many lives and he will be greatly missed. He visited me at my store almost every day until his body wouldn’t let him. I can’t believe he is gone. I was by his side when he took his last breath. One of his passions in life was shooting. Guns, collecting pennies, and old tractors were very important hobbies to him. He begged me and my brother to shoot up some rounds that he had loaded, and we were more than happy to fulfill his wish. He was able to complete most of what he wanted to accomplish before passing away, and I was able to help him complete some of his wishes. Here’s to you Tom. I miss you very much. :(

Used a bit of everything here. A coffeeshop action - and two texture layers by les brumes.
Shot on a very rainy day on Islay.
That face in the sand is one so familiar
And though the waves may wash it away, engraved in my heart it is...
GREATEST MEMORIES OF THIS SHOT!!
"you lifted the veil when you admitted you had no memory of that day - it was so special and your lack of recall so monstrous...”

not around much at the moment...dealing with family issues...a diagnosis of vascular dementia and Alzheimers for my Mum...(although not unexpected)...mild/early stages...but...still hard/sad to absorb...so...a lot of planning...sorting...juggling of family life...putting things in place lies ahead...one step at a time...we can do this...
Dementia...Alzheimers... something we all need to face and talk about...sorry...probably a bit depressing...but this shouldn't be hidden away...it affects so many families...
I think the best thing I ever did with my life was stand up and say I've got Alzheimer's.

This is a well used easel, homemade and soon to go to children who hopefully will love it as much as my son did. The first time my son painted there was more paint on him than on the paper. It was so difficult to take a picture of him because I was shaking with laughter. He had insisted that the brush, which was full of paint, should be the handle. Try as I did to change that, he was adamant. Perhaps he just needed a finer tipped brush, perhaps he liked the oooozy tactile feel of the paint. It was very endearing and a memory I hope will never fade.
One of those special memories, on top of being 80 plus year old ! I grew up with the corvette, remembering the 1969 verses 1968. or even what was different ! colors, lines here and there chrome , side pipes removable roof panels1,2, piece, small block / big block ! wheel size and width, best of all the mind works and what an experience, as for resemblance differences ! standard / automatic , as even compared, the new even are easier torahs and wax, a smile in every corner, and fun to be had, even car shows ! Enjoy the view ! 55 five years ago, BTW mine first 1971, still own ! now the Nikon D810 another story !
Mum made this rug using clothes I had outgrown. The blue is school uniform, the green a tracksuit, the stripes a t-shirt etc... Actually for a while the t-shirt was worn by Big Ted, before he upgraded to a SuperTed costume (also made by mum).
The only thing not worn by me is the unbelievably awful and uncomfortable 1970s bright pink NYLON bedsheets!!

I didn't expect the negatives from Day 49 to reappear quite so soon, but this weeks diptych theme seemed a good time to use them.
Three 1920s negatives photographed on glass with natural backlight - one inverted in FotoFlexer to show the black and white image. The moto is from the package the negatives came in.
From Reuben Margolins studio. This parts drawer reminded me of my American grandfathers basement workshop, he was a teacher, photographer and carpenter. My clearest memories of him were from that workshop.
I rarely get emotional over my work, but these recent paintings have really moved me. Inspired by childhood photographs of my little brother and I recently sent to me by my mother. A time gone by - a lifetime ago - a brother that I miss. These paintings are loose and fragmented like my memories. 5x5 Oil on paper.
