And that's the way it was.

And that's the way it was.

Maybe you heard, Walter Cronkite died this last Friday. Maybe you missed it as I did due to the endless Micheal Jackson…er..coverage. I was a huge fan of Walter Cronkite. I grew up watching him on the CBS nightly news. In the early 70s father used to teach ROTC at a near by high school. [...]


Exposed: Anticipating the Shot

Exposed: Anticipating the Shot

This post is not so much about the story behind the image above, but about the “how” behind the image. I have been thinking a bit about what it takes to see “the image” before hand. I am not talking about telepathy. What I mean is when you go into a location to shoot, or [...]

Wednesday’s Dragon metaphor for resistance seem to hit a nerve. I am glad it did. I know that many of us find all kinds of reasons not to fulfill our dreams or pursue our creative sides. I have gotten further into Pressfield’s book, the War of Art and I can honestly say it is good. [...]


Fighting the Dragon

Fighting the Dragon

There is a force that waylays us at times. It stalls us. That is putting it mildly, it is out to get us, to eat our souls. It is a force that every creative person knows but most of us never knew it’s name. We just know it is there, like some dark specter looking [...]
