I wonder who the last person was to climb up/down that ladder... and why they did.

paul! this is very good. great composition and tonal range, very well executed. have you started editing your photos in photoshop or equivalent? and i also appreciated the supplementary text of course.

Thank you. Sadly, I am still using MS Picture It! to perform my editing. But, that in turn is forcing me to learn more about the camera itself - and that's good. Still, some simple tasks - like resizing - are problematic.

It ought to be possible to produce something meaningful - maybe even beautiful - with fairly primitive technology. I detest the cycle of consumption that causes us to abandon things ever more rapidly - in the hope of having the "newest," "best," and "latest," product in a most wasteful way.

On-line and off-line, things feel very heavy at this moment. Things are quiet; and something is in the air.

yes, everyone is broke and tired of winter... trying to hunker down and ride it out as the icy, gray days fade into spring. creative energies have been low; everyones contemplating means to refuel.
