In some ways this image reflects the moon image that I created just before this was posted. Maybe this is a bit of a visual poem with a nod towards the moon.

I used my Camera Obscura and captured the Full Moon hours before the Total Eclipse occurred. I went outside at 3:30 am to capture the event, but there was a fog and so I went back to sleep. The image is stark, but it portraits the vastness of space between the Earth and the Moon….’Camera Obscura’ Series 

March is upon us and Spring is 18 days away. Yes!!…Light through the shear curtains is a metaphor for brighter days to arrive. The world is in a tail spin and I only hope it stops spinning and we can all respect each other in the best possible ways! Peace….’Theatrical’ Series

I want to finish off the last day of February with a Camera Obscura of our orange umbrella and a bird house on the fence. This composition reflects, to me, the nearness of Spring. The umbrella to give shade on sunny days and the bird house to help foster offspring. On March 20th Spring arrives. Looking forward to that day!…’Camera Obscura’ Series

Greetings to the thousands of viewers who visit my  site each month, thank you. I thought I would throw a curve ball and introduce my YouTube channel called, Chatting Away. There are two short videos. The first video #1 I’m not to crazy about as it was my first try, but the second video #2 is a theme that I will build on. If you would like type, chatting away #2, in YouTube search. Have a sweet day…. John

There is a harsh winter in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere. To my viewers who are cold, cold, cold, the only thing I could think of is to video the fire in my insert. Somehow maybe it can help? Stay safe!
