We Don't Have to Live in a Colorless World

My journey has been one of ups and downs--in this case more up than down.

Folks tend to think those who live with visual impairments live in a dark or colorless world--it doesn't always have to be that way--some shine light into our dark and dreary world.

When given the time for free expression and creativity, amazing things can happen--even if the artist can't see very well.

There are few times when I have been more proud of (and impressed by) a creation.

First Image

After much encouragement from Beth, I have made my first submission to a photography magazine--Outdoor Photography. This image, entitled "Bulls Bridge", was made a few years back in Kent, CT.
It represents the first image that I created myself, from beginning to end (or film to frame). I made the image, developed the film, and processed the print in my own darkroom. Enjoy!

Sunset Over the Bench

The first leg of the annual journey--what will be our Maine summer--is complete. Steve, Dan, and I dropped off Mary's camper at the lake. It was a quick trip--just over night--but, well worth the miles. Dan had yet to see the family memorial bench, so the first order of business was to get him over to the Breakwater path. As we turned to leave, we were blessed with an amazing sunset along the edge of the Samoset property. As Steve said, we'll be back there "next week" and I'll be sure to post more photos--until then, I share this image.
