Colors in the dark… part 3… but maybe I should have called these: ‘lights in the darkness’…

Is that an alien planet in a starless solar system? No, that wouldn’t be possible. A ‘solar’ system, by definition, has at least one star in it. Is that the ghost of Donald tRump’s brain? No, that wouldn’t be possible. … Continue reading

Colors in the dark… part 2…

Okay, it is time to explain what I am doing here. These photo experiments are an extension of those ‘wiggly light’ photos I was taking when I visited my mom in the Bay Area for Christmas. I was taking pictures … Continue reading

Colors in the dark… part 1…

I was trying some experimental photography tonight. But I am not going to try to explain it to you right now. But I will tomorrow, when I share some more of these photos. I know, I can’t wait either. I … Continue reading

Fun with the sun… (or); Instead of just showing you the rest of those photos of the sunset over the San Francisco Bay that I took when I went with my mom into the hills above Berkeley during Christmas vacation, what if I intersperse them with copies upon which I worked some digital magic… part 2…

Sorry, but that digital filter never gets old. Also, ‘groovy rainbow’ sort of sums up the Bay Area, what with its history of the hippy and counterculture movements. Here is the original photo… Okay, let’s see now… That is a … Continue reading

What if… part 3…

What if snakes were short and fat? Would they have to roll around like tumbleweeds??? Or would they just slither along very slowly in an awkward scrunching motion??? These are the things that I wonder about.

Who doesn’t like a nice green and purple alien sunset? Even if it was really quite boringly terrestrial. You don’t often see the stars that clearly while the sun is still setting… Not in your universe, maybe! Smoke on the … Continue reading

What if… part 1…

What if giraffes didn’t have long necks? I mean, they didn’t always have long necks. That is just the way evolution works… uh, sorry, religious fanatics. This idea, like most of my ideas, came about thanks to the crack squirrels … Continue reading

So, my younger daughter, Mollie, had an organ removed… and all you got was these lousy and almost completely unrelated photos from my phone…

Okay, the title is a total lie. These first few photos aren’t completely unrelated to Mollie’s surgery. I took them of a big, thorny tree outside the medical center while the surgery was being done, on Coronado Island here in … Continue reading
