The world is flooding and yes my front door is no better!

Yes I am looking out of my room door. In a small courtyard, 4 walls do make a pool.

The drain system is very poor and whoops, the rain got very heavy.

At the door step! (the white object is a splash guard so I can have the door open)

As the storm started up again in the night. The courtyard does drain and in an hour or so the water had receded.

Both this unit was very close to having a swimming pool inside.

So yes, I have been looking around for a new place fro a few weeks and this just made QUITE OBVIOUS, I need to get out quick.

Some more Lightening shots all from my doorway!

20170424: Remembering Ghost Towns & Road Trips.

Some times it takes a long distance view, to understand the world around you. The Sierra Mountains from Nevada.

A ghost town, seldom visited in the mass crowds of well know places.

But offering a wonderful view for the camera to capture.

20170422: What to do to Increase Creative Abilities…

The other day I was asked a question, “What can I do to increase my Creative abilities?”

A little while later, someone else asked a similar question, “My creativity is at ZERO. What can I do about it?”

This list is the answer.

In 59 years of life I have never run out of Creative Juice, sure I can be stumped as to what to do. Or the pen sitting not moving in my hands. The keyboard motionless & quiet under my hands….

But I always follow these rules and have found and answer!

Cameras, canvases, paper, inventions, problems in business, every time words, paintings, drawing, photographs & even silly posters are all born from these simple rules!

Enjoy and have fun doing that Creative whatever You Like to Do!

20170413: Opps, too much fun again Flowers….

OK, so like there are way too many beautiful women in this town.

But only one speaks English to me & still smiles while doing so.

Monica, the waitress, owners younger daughter, wants to go to USA. So she speaks nicely to me most days & is quite cute as well.

Moneeca is the Spanish pronouncing of her name & my spelling. Dyslexic I prefer to see a word in the pronounced version for me to say it right… So I created this spelling of her name. She knows I use it & has not slapped me, and of course vocalized makes not any difference to anyone.

With the TRUMPed starting WAR, WW3 for all concerned… USA is a Fascism country and she knows that the dream of going there has falling in the trashcan.

I kind of wanted to offer some Peace to the world and being way to old & tired of the game women play, to care about giving flowers to women but seeing Moneeca who would have been chased around town by a much younger me, on a near daily basis…

this poster got made last night…

Not sure she will get to see it. Would not want to embarrass her in front of friends, Family, neighbors.

But heck I had fun with this design!

20170407: Still got my thumb out… World gets crazier …

Get me out of here, those humans insanity2016_ZFB

Yeah, TRUMPed wants WAR, to prove his tiny brass balls are still hanging.

AND I WANT OFF THIS CRAZY HUMAN INFESTED PLANET!

20170330: Joshua Tree funnies

So many times over the years, I have listened to people who do not open their eyes and walk in nature… “Oh nature never does 90 degree angles in anything.” 2 examples of 90 degrees in nature, naturally happening in ONE photograph….

I know the other day I did the “Wild & Crazy” light painting, here is one of my more subtle light painting moments.

All in Joshua Tree National Park.

20170327: When a light painter has too much fun!

20170321 JT flower SCCC Van Photo-7601

Yeah, a trip into the desert, 4 different colors of lights and about 7 different lights to make this all happen. Yes, when I hit the shutter trigger, I then used a laser beam light on the back rocks for a 5th light source.

Just having way too much fun with my normal way too much equipment carrying habits.
