Once again, not much to say




I had to take some photos...getting stir crazy and disconnected. I have had two recent instances where I have offered or tried to take photos for/with others and been turned down. Clearly there are several messages. What is important to me clearly isn't always important or valued by others. The next message is that while we all have many identities, what people are interested in here is the "dean" identity, what ever that is. I have learned that no one knows what or cares what the photographer thing means for me or what it might mean for them. The last message is that if I am going to take photos or want to take photos, I need to do it for myself. That is fine...just a reality check/reality moment/reminder for me.

So I am struggling on this road. Here are some efforts. If they don't measure up, perhaps I can get a job with Jason...

If nothing else, they are colorful. I have come to appreciate painted furniture, something that once I would have never ever said. But I was convinced. Blue chair, cayenne wall, and flowers. There is potential to this scenario.

Chicago












Not much to say, really, but did have a good conference/time in Chicago at the HLC. Weather was great, and while I learned a lot, I did get to see quite a bit of the city. I think the photos are pretty easy to figure out. Not high art or perhaps even art, but perhaps good snapshots.
