Some thoughts from my niece Sarah from yesterday, Saturday May 6th, also known as day 126. I’ve know we have been away for awhile, dealing with health challenges, but with the rebirth of spring we seem to be on the mend. So we intend to re-restart this blog again this week ..read more

Happy Valentines Day to you all. I’ve created an ecard for you to enjoy ..read more

I spent the last two weeks thinking, planning and trying to create a post about what I can see vs. what the rest of you can see of my images. We spent a couple of hours trying photoshop an image to represent what I see. Well, nothing we tried was able to capture what I see. So we are putting this on hold until we can find another way to make the image I’m looking for. But I wanted to post something, so here it is. A meme we found from a few months ago that never got posted. It still has some relevance, but nothing to do with my original blog intent. Enjoy I’ll try again and get back to you ..read more

I’m writing this blog post for my Twitter followers. This, and my other blogs, were set up to automatically post on Twitter. However due to the actions of the new owner of Twitter, I will no longer be posting there. I hope to keep my Twitter followers as blog followers as I restart this blog after my long illness. I’m also considering alternatives to Twitter such as Instagram, but haven’t finalized that. I’ll make an announcement here when I’ve decided what I’m going to do ..read more

Aha! You thought I was gone. But I’m back. Those of you who have followed my illness know where I’ve been. The rest of you can read about it here. For the last few months I’ve been thinking about what I want to do with my photography. A recent article by Chris Gampat about low vision photography (LVP) inspired me to give it a try.  People often wonder how one can do photography while blind. So first let’s define what what we mean by low vision photography. Low vision isn’t exactly blind. Many of us learned photography while we still had some vision. This is why the phrase low vision is mo ..read more

This is not how I intended to restart my blog! However something important happened today. Queen Elizabeth II has died at the age of 96, after 70+ years of reign. From Getty Images As a final tribute, we sing: God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen ..read more

 Near the Avery brewery in Boulder county is an open space named Twin Lakes. Along the eastern side of the one of the reservoirs is an old irrigation ditch. We thought the flowing water and the dense vegetation made for an interesting photograph.  This image was made sometime this last summer. We plan to head back and capture the same scene with snow and bare trees sometime this winter. This image was made with a Mamiya 7 and Kodak Portra film ..read more

2021 has been a challenging year. But we survived the Superior/Louisville fire here in Colorado. And my health is on the mend. So here is hoping that 2022 will be better than 2021. Wishing all of you the best for 2022. And hoping to get back to regular posting ..read more

“Do you know where you’re going to? Do you like the life the world is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know?” Mahogany (1975 film) This is my favorite song quote from the 1975 Diana Ross film Mahogany. It says a lot about my current situation. As you can see I’m still using a walker. And as it turns out, I will soon be having surgery on my right knee; a total knee replacement. Hopefully my recent fall on my left knee will not require additional surgery. Sorry that I missed my August posting, I’ve been very distracted due to my continuing health issues. I also have an update o ..read more
