Brandon conjures a sense of poise and grace,that inspires.His eye is as sharp as his blade,both burn with his inner, creative fire.He's also great to just sit around and shoot the shit with.

Brandon is a for real good man. I've enjoyed our PM's and I'm proud to call him friend.

I wandered in the forest one day, many paths I did see, this one would not play, but did pause for me.
about me
Embracing a muse is delightful, exquisite heart aches and love spilling forth like a volcano making a new island. I've been to southern Sumatra, looked out at where Krakatoa was, and there grows anak krakatoa, child of Krakatoa. In a few hundred or few thousand years it will become big enough to start all over again.
I am a visionary professional photographer. I used to say "part time professional" since I have a day job that pays the mortgage. But a friend looked at my work and said I should drop the part time piece and add visionary. OK, I'm up for that. Truth is, though, sometimes I take snap shots, sometimes I get art, sometimes I get good photographs.
I've been working with photographic images off and on for many years, apprenticing for many hours with a 4x5 Linhof, a Hasselblad and a darkroom. Following a hiatus longer than I wanted, I've now found the digital camera and darkroom has opened a new and wonderful place to work and play in. I am available to do portraits, cover events, or do portfolio work of people or animals on location most weekends and some evenings in the Jefferson City and Columbia Missouri area.

Re: Building a chicken coop!
(in DIY - do it yourself)
I've built two coops where everything except three items were free or recycled. Nails, staples, and chicken wire I bought new, the shed to keep them dry in one case I made out of pallets with grungy plywood on top and ancient roofing shingles ove...

Writing
(blog entry)
When I talked to my mother on mother's day, practically the first thing she said to me was wanting to know when I would start writing again, specifically writing about growing up overseas. I told her I would as soon as she got back into it also. ...

I talk some about what earth-centric means, and perhaps about how little we actually know about ancient religions.

I've posted a picture of the tree here. It is still hanging in there, :-)

When I talked to my mother on mother's day, practically the first thing she said to me was wanting to know when I would start writing again, specifically writing about growing up overseas. I told her I would as soon as she got back into it also.
I said I really wasn't all the interested in writing about my wonderful adventures in Indonesia and Thailand. The main reason is because when I tell people about any of those most interesting times, they are generally not interested. I've foun...

It seems congress is intent on passing a bill that will allow anyone who grabs an image off the internet to claim it as their own and sell it if they have made a "good faith" effort to find out who the copyright holder is. The current law basically says that if you publish an image, and that includes posting it on the internet, say here on tribe, you own the copyright and that is proof. You can go after a company that snags your image and uses it in advertising. You might not win very much...

So while I was up there on top of the workshop trimming the tree and tossing the branches (as in 8-9 inches in diameter) off, I managed to get a hernia, my first, and hopefully my last. Just got home from the hospital, outpatient laproscopy and mesh repair. Just a bit on the woozy side, :-) But things feel like they have been fixed.
This image is 6 frames from my el-ceapo Canon A710IS merged and then reduced 50% and saved at a very very low JPG quality so I could get it under 500KB. Th...
