Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

Albeit supremely risky this is one of my favorite ways to produce abstract photographs.

I started my "Johnny Guitar" set with the idea that it would be a 365-set and I'd try to produce an abstract photo a day for a year, but I'm having so much fun with it that I abandoned the 365 concept and decided to keep it open-ended and see how long I can keep making abstracts of my guitar.

THE KINKS LYRICS
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version: Coca-Cola]
See-oh-el-aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Like a roarin’ postcard from the fifties – that’s the sound of the HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS. Three voices, an overdriven sixstring, a big bad black doghouse bass and a pumping and swinging set of drums – that’ s what is called High Octane Hillbilly Rock’n Roll at its best, a patchwork of rough Rockabilly, fast Country and a little bit of Swing performed by Goldi Grasshopper, Crazyeye and Mr. Madsn. So put your cat clothes on, you rockin’ cats and enjoy the HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS!
Deutsch:
Die HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS – High Octane Hillbilly Rock’n Roll at its best! Der Boss eines berühmten Rockabilly Labels sagte über den Sound von Goldi Grasshopper, Crazyeye und Mr. Madsn: Irgendwie erinnert das, was die Jungs mit der Gitarre, dem Kontrabass und den Drums da zaubern, an einen schweren V8 Motor - mal schnell, mal dreckig, mal laut – aber immer mit viel Gefühl für Rhythmus und Melodie. Rock’n Roll von den HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS, das ist ein Mix aus rauem Rockabilly, schnellem Country und einem Schuss Swing, der das Adrenalin dahin treibt, wo es hingehört. So wie es bei gutem Rock’n Roll sein soll. Der Sound der HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS – High Octane Hillbilly Rock’n Roll!

Lifetime Dream # 37 of my list of 155: I will own a Cobalt acoustic guitar, made by Carvin, with a natural wood finish and a rosette design around the sound hole. It will have a hard shell case with it, which will be embossed on the outside. I will include special fret board inlay designs symbolizing my production company. It will be tuned and aligned perfectly, giving off beautiful acoustic guitar waves. I will use this guitar primarily for un-plugged performances.
Completed On: March 23, 2007
World, meet Alberta. Alberta, meet the world. This is one of the most beautiful guitars that I own, but in the craftsmanship of the instrument, the design of the guitar, and in the quality of the sound that she gives off. A couple interesting stories about Alberta:
This was my first “real” guitar that I bought when I began to live the path of achieving dreams. I had bought a few low-end guitars, but I really had my eyes set on this guitar. I believed that I would get her in the Spring of 2007; I had no idea how, I just kept believing and seeing that I would (From “the Secret”). I found a path that would afford her, but that was taken away by taxes owed to the U.S. Government (thanks to tax mess-ups from a previous employer). Still I blindly believed, and I achieved this dream through divine interventions.
When I got her I was just amazed- over whelmed at the quality and craftsmanship, yet I hid her from my family for they do not understand my passion for music and instruments, Two and a half months later, I was playing Alberta at my sister’s wake. I had a lot of moments with just she and I… and the guitar. Right then and there I just decided I’d never hide behind the fear of what others, including my family, might thing. Thank God for that decision… I’d like to believe that somehow my sister heard me playing that night. In some way, I like to believe she was there… and that she took loved the quality of sound out of Alberta’s body!

LOLA
THE KINKS LYRICS
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version: Coca-Cola]
See-oh-el-aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

I hope everyone has a safe and happy one! I'm ringing in the new year by taking on the task of learning...really learning...to play my new guitar! Isn't she beautiful?! Acoustic-Electric Fender Sonoran in surf green. I love this color, and I love this guitar. It sounds absolutely amazing! My goal: To learn to pay well enough to be able to play with the band some. Here's hoping I can. I already know one blues rift now that G taught me and I'm proud of myself for that!
2012 has been an amazing, wonderful, unexpected year. I have laughed harder than I've ever laughed before, cried harder than I ever thought possible, and loved and been loved more than I could have ever wanted. It's been a hard year, but it's also been one of the best years of my life. I have found friends, love, and become close with my family...what more could I ask for? I've experienced so many things, eaten soooo much food, gone places I've always wanted to go, stayed home more than I thought I would enjoy and loved every minute of it, learned to sleep past 7:00 in the morning (helloooooooo 9:00!), stayed up until after 2:00 in the morning, gone out and watched shows, watched bands, played gigs, sang to my hearts content, and...more than anything...ENJOYED LIFE! I have plans and hopes for 2013 and I hope they come true. But no matter what, I have no doubt it will be a good year. No matter what life may throw at me, no matter where I may end up, I know my family, my friends, and my love will be right there along with me. 2012 was hard, but it was one of the best years of my life. So, here's to 2013!!!!!
Much love to all of you!
