Autrey Sisters 1960s

More fun with photos!

Nude Grasshopper Descending a Cactus Leaf

Four long, exhausting days in, I'm finally closing in on converting everything from my old Dell to my new HP Workstation.  My 2003 Dell was still working fine, but with Windows no longer supporting XP, I was forced to upgrade.  There is something about technology that really sucks up money!  Now, however, with new software from Alien Skin and Apophysis, and a faster system,  I thought I'd have some fun!  The inspiration for the top photo composite is Marcel Duchamp's  "Nude Descending a Staircase."  The original photo is below.

Better Bears

Juggling bears, bears who play games, bears bearing balloons - these are all better bears than the ones in Miley Cyrus's cringe-worthy X rated dance at the 2013 MTV-VMAs.  The last image of the bear with balloons and the capital letter B is from the fabulous book The Taylor Twins in Alphabet World available on Blurb here:  http://www.blurb.com/b/2981021-the-taylor-twins-in-alphabet-world

The Future Includes the Past

Do You Know Who You're Voting For?

A poem on the benefits of voting with your eyes wide open

You can't see the truth
When your eyes are closed to reason
Or when the fog has blurred your view
When you open your eyes
And can see clearly
Then you'll know
You can see the truth
When you look for it

Tired of Love

The woman is from a pen & ink drawing done on a ferry going to Paros, Greece in 2010; the man is a life guard drawn in Costa Rica in 2003; the red glass vase was one of several given to me for my 60th birthday and the ocean view is a photo taken in Solana Beach, California in 2011.  I'm not tired of love but the title seemed to work for this composite.

The Day After

Pelican Flying Over North Beach

It was beautiful at the beach yesterday.  No wind.  Clear sunny sky.  Big waves.  Heaven!

Rainy Sunday

It's raining today but I'm warm inside thinking about family and our trip to Texas in 1958
