The frustrated artist in me needs fulfilling. Its affecting my family life too to some extent .
Wish me luck !

I came to a crossroads in '08 in regards to what I'm doing with my art and those skills I possess. I have a job, but its definitely not what I want to be doing ..so I'm looking at other possibilities .
I tend to work best when I'm in a job where I'm the only one there doing it. Not that I'm afraid to ask for help but there is far too much drama and cliques going on for my tastes. Time to think about going solo in the next year or two if I can build a decent product or customer base , both preferentially.
Here is to the end of this year and a hardy hello to 2009 . Best wishes for a bright New Year to all those whom have watched my gallery, to the community for keeping my eyes open to current trendz , and my boy Glenn and his fiance .
Bottoms up from left to right!
Gentlemen, THE QUEEN !

My Camera...the missed photo opportunities were ...fahgettaboutit!

Skylines, landscapes, majestic shots of full mountain ranges and stand alone buttes or peaks, then wildlife shots galore .


*Bangs head against the wall..once, twice, three...four ...times.

I am an idiot .

The helmet is made by an outfit called OSE out of switzerland and when all the hardware is re attatched it should look pretty sci-fi/ horror .
Every other welders helmet out there looks like it was copied from a transformers cartoon, square, angular and zippo in the imagination /ergonomics scale .
This is the most I've done in ...forever. I may soon be unemployed so if that happens, gonna take the time to do shit that I want to do . Its true what they say, if you have to work, do something you like. I like my work, its the people that irritate the fuck out of me. No respect for personal space, property or work area. Its time like this lately that being PC is such a joke. It would be so much easier to get the point across by giving asshole "A" much deserved elbow to the head and then slamming said idiot into a wall wilst holding his trachea and yelling DON't FUCKING DO THAT ASSHOLE< I"M WORKING HERE! ..but then that may hurt his feelings...goddamn, eh ?
Thats my rant and mini-update .
Chow !

LIttle Wonders

let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don't you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember how it feels

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

let it slide,
let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine
until you feel it all around you
and i don't mind
if it's me you need to turn to
we?ll get by,
it's the heart that really matters in the end

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

all of my regret
will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now

in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away but these small hours
these small hours, still remain,
still remain
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these little wonders still remain

Thats icing on any cake in my mind. What better way to be seen than to have your work printed and distributed ? A small step, perhaps turning into larger ones. The picture in question is entitled 'Sunrise over the Steeples 4 " seen in my gallery and part of a series I dedicated to a friend of mine last fall ...wow .

I have 10 days off from work to relax and do whatever I desire, and that will probably include updating some pix, getting a handle on some projects I have wanted to do for some time and hanging with friends and family.

So to you all I raise a glass of Irish Cream and wish you all the best in this Holiday Season and a better New Year in 2008!

Take care all ,

They give treats to all the kids at various old homes, stores and churches, bonfires light the path around the town and at the end of the evening, there is a fireworks show. The spirits even stop and stare ..I swear !

Welcome to small town Canada, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, where the sounds of fireworks will echo off the mountians that are only a couple of kms from the town of Forte Steele. This is halloween !

I'm finding lately though that I'm going back to my photography roots, primarily because of where I live and the subject matter available. My Gallery is full of nature based shots and ...cars.
Growing up in small towns I found that old cars, 'rods and muscle cars were symbols of hard work, speed and good times . Cruising takes on a whole new dimension in the seats of these classics.
The nature shots...its a part of where I live . I love what this small corner of the world has to offer recreationally, visually, and spiritually . Its my home , here in the Canadian Rockies. Every day I see something new, as far as sunrises, sunsets, moonrise or moonset, the flora and fauna. Paradise, maybe not, but its a world that suits me fine. I grew up on a ranch in the interior of B.C. , so that let me see a side of life few ever get to or dream about. I've seen what the big cities have, and its a pale horse indeed. Life is short and full of all sorts of rewards, and misadventures, and to appreciate those, the midadventures included means that you have to slow down and look all around you, not just straight ahead. Life comes at you at all angles. By no means am I rich monetarily, but I am richer in ways that mean more in the long run. DA has been an eye opener and I hope that those who watch will see my own works evolve . Perhaps someday I will be able to do my art full time . The ideas are there, the people I want to involve in those plans are near. Just a bit O' time , aye , then lads n lassies, the real work begins and ..who knows . Magic? Happens all the time.

I have more shots in the works. I went for a drive tonight ..the tunes cranked up and camera ready to go. I hit the highway with Mason William's "Classical Gas" queued up as I drove along the edge of one of the lakes around here . Its almost Fall here, the leaves are turning and there is that smell in the air that one associates with that particular season. I found a roadside turnout and ...you will see the results shortly. On this evening I saw several Whitetail buck deer, their antlers in velvet, and their coats turning a nutty brown . Unfortuneately I was travelling at a good clip and couldn't slow down in time..but there will be other times .

Terminal Eyes
Al Stewart
Cut glass porcupine sailing on the Serpentine
Fingers on the skyline pulling down the black blinds
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
Rivulet of dark wine moving in a straight line
Sumdging out the stop signs, running down the life lines
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
Shadows on the ceiling, coffee cup congealing
Tarot cards revealing, a solitary feeling
Terminal eyes, but I think it's alright
Silver studded jet plane screaming through the migraine
Cutting through the cellophane, wrappers of your tired brain
Terminal eyes - put out the light
Terminal eyes
Only the lonely Arabian skies
Terminal eyes
Calling you home from your restless disguise
Hands of the windmill moving to a standstill
Rain on the windowsill, ashes on the phone bill
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
Rain drop fire flies sparkle on the shop blinds
Echoes of the summertime flicker in the street-signs
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
Shadows on the ceiling, coffee cup congealing
Eyes that look unseeing, hands that look unfeeling
Terminal eyes, I think it's alright
Silver-studded sea plane breaking through the migraine
Cutting through the cellophane, enveloping your tired brain
Terminal eyes, put out the light
Terminal eyes
Only the lonely Arabian skies
Terminal eyes
Calling you home from your restless disguise
Terminal eyes
Only the lonely Arabian skies
Terminal eyes
Calling you home from your restless disguise


hmmmmmmm

Unfortneately I don't have a studio to persue my airbrushing, but my camera goes everywhere with me on trips > I plan of taking a ton of shots this weekend so we'llsee what happens here on Monday .
Have a great weekend folks !

A new Year is yet again upon us and I have to sit down and think about the one that just passed. It was a big year for me and mine, we moved from the big city to a town I call home , rediscovered a love of art, sports and my wife and embarked upon a new career .
Its strange that it feels as though I never left, perhaps its because in some metaphysical sense, I never did . My heart and soul have always been here, waiting to reconnect with my soul mates and friends ...I am immersed here in my mountains, and feel alive again . I have wildlife that regularly walks though my back yard to sample the few leaves left upon our mountain ask and a sad juniper we transplanted .
I await now for the return of my wife and daughter who went to visit my bro' in law , and the promised return of a soul mate in this coming summer ...when I can drop the top of my Tracker, cruise about in the warm summer evenings and stir some memories with the Eagles, " Hotel California" .
It hasn't been an easy life , but now with a bit of luck I have been able to enjoy a few things that were out of reach b4, new skills, new material comforts and a sense of security.
2007 will be special , perhaps to no one but me as at heart I'm a bit of a sentimental fool .

New art, perhaps soon. I really need a studio of sorts to do my airbrushing in.
