Zig Zag needed a major overhaul. I didn't like how my original turned out at all. The name was cool and his powers are a favorite of mine, but everything else was disappointing. The Ultimate Spiderman Electro figure looked great for him, and since I don't consider that rendition of Electro as valid, I decided to go with it. It kinda fits his attitude too, as he doesn't really care what others think. I also tweaked his backstory. Hope you enjoy.
It's been a 'Zig Zag' year......
Wishing all my Flickr friends and contacts a peaceful Christmas and a healthy untroubled 2019.
Aerial shots often highlight the distinction between the complex chaos of nature and the ordered geometry of human construction.
Part of a series of shots taken 11 Nov.2006 as the depot filled with steam & smoke. Tripod mounted Mamiya TLR, Ilford HP5 film in Rodinal , lith printed on Bergger CX in LD-20 June 2010.
Misty morning above the River Dart near White Wood ... I just climbed up from the river ... phew! ... and the mist was rolling in from the higher moor.
The zig zag path at Glendalough, leading West (to the left) and Uphill from the Upper Lake. Higher up, this path joins one end of the Spink Walk and together form a very popular loop walk around the lake, approx.12km long. The highest point on the Spink is at 500m elevation, approx. location for this photo. When viewed full screen, hikers can be seen on the path.
Michael and Albert (AJ) Patnode - Artist Statement
Father and son collaboration
Our photographic art is a kinetic motion study, from the results of interacting with my son A.J and his toys.
He was born severely handicapped much like a quadriplegic. On December 17,1998. Our family’s goal has always been to help A.J. use his mind, even though he has minimal use of his body.
A.J. likes to watch lights and movement. One of the few things he can do for himself is to operate a switch that sets in motion lights and various shiny, colorful streamers and toys that swirl above his bed.
One day I took a picture of A.J. with his toys flying out from the big mobile near his bed like swings on a carnival ride. I liked the way the swirling objects and colors looked in the photo.
I wanted to study the motion more and photograph the whirling objects in an artful way, I wanted my son A.J. to be a part of it. After all, he’s the one who inspires me. When A.J. and I work together on our motion artwork, A.J. starts his streamers and objects twirling, I take the photographs.
Activating a tiny switch might not seem like much to some, but it’s all A.J. can do. He controls the direction the mobile will spin, as well as when it starts and stops. The shutter speeds are long, and sometimes, I move the camera and other times I hold it still.
I begin our creation with a Nikon digital camera. Then I use my computer with Photoshop to alter the images into what I feel might be an artistic way. Working with Photoshop, I find the best parts from several images and combine them into the final composite photograph. I consider the finished work to be fine art. The computer is just the vehicle that helps my expressions grow.
I take the photographs and A.J. adds the magic. It’s something this father and son do together. After I’ve taken a few shots, I show him the photos in the back of the camera. When the images are completed, I show him from a laptop. He just looks. He can’t tell me whether or not he likes the images, but he’s always ready to work with me again.
It offers me my only glance into A.J.’s secret world. We’ve built a large collection of images and I hope the motion and color move you as much as they do me.
A.J. inspires me to work harder to understand my life in the areas of art, photography, people, spirituality, and so much more. He truly sets my mind in motion and helps me find the beauty in everyday things.

A BNSF unit grain train starts to bit into the tough grade north of Corson, SD. This train is running on a ex Great North branch out of Sioux Falls and heading for the mainline at Garretson. I believe this may have come off the ex Milwaukee Road trackage that leads to Mitchell. This was the MILW main to Rapid City. If true, this train would be traveling southeast to Canton where it would hang a hard left and go north west to Sioux Falls on tracks shared with the Dakota & Iowa before continuing north east to Garratson. After that I don't know which wat it went!
Standing over South Dawson Street on the Hillsborough Street Bridge in downtown Raleigh. It's somewhat hard to see but my favorite aspect of this photograph is the Amtrak train cutting right through the middle of the frame.
