I bought an Apple watch today. My salesman, Devine, let me shoot his hand and tattoo. He was kind and knowledgeable.
Now I have to learn how to use it.
Category: Still Life
Field of Flowers
Flower arrangers glow like their flowers. How can I make a still life, living out my Van Gogh fantasy if I don’t go to flower stores. And once there, I am always challenged by whether I should take a shot of the flowers or one of the women who lovingly construct the arrangements.
As I walked up to deliver his photo, Kevin walked out of the store and welcomed me, “Mr. Duck, the photographer.” I’m honored he remembered me.
I bought this flower and forgot to ask its name – Damn. The flower lady told me to clip it everyday and it will open. We will SEE.
I can never resist having sunflowers around. Always makes me think of Van Gogh. Sharon got me the vase, featured here for an I Love You Gift. Don’t forget that everyday is Valentines Day.
Almost Salad
When the hot, humid, uncertain weather forces indoor activities, cook, watch a movi, and make a still life of the ingredients first. Broccoli Rabe has a personality of its own. So do garlic, onions, fresh corn and a legacy tomato.
Eat Latkes
You should light the lights and eat the latkes. Play a little dreidel and sing a few songs. Don’t have to do it every night. Just never forget your history. Hanukah may not be a real holiday, but it’s a good story.
Protea-Pincushion
So, what do I have around to shoot, I ask myself? Just a flower. Makes me smile.
Edward Weston Not
So, as much as I try, I remain a man with a camera. No new ideas for the art. New ideas for me. To the others who want to see pizazz, I say go elsewhere.
Goya Boycott
Goya, portrait painter to the Spanish Court. He knew nothing about beans. If he did, he would fart uncontrollably knowing his name is being used to create a financial fortune for a man who thinks Trump should be reelected.
Don’t Shoot Blue
HAZARDOUS TO HEALTH
DO NOT INGEST CLOROX or RUBBING ALCOHOL or BEAMS of LIGHT
That idiot TRUMP can get US killed in so many ways that have not even been contemplated. He lies cheats and steals and fools from the South and impoverished zones who hate intelligence and feelings for others believe him. I almost wish that some of his follows would take his advice and try these cures. After all, some of them believe that GOD will save them.
Many of them dress differently so you can identify them and avoid them and their thoughts. They don’t do vaccines. Others were red hats which suggest that America was great at some unidentifiable time.
Duckman Fights CLL and Corona
I fight the battle of Corona and CLL from all fronts. Keeping my mind active as a photog, my body strong by walking and biking and my system enriched. Who do the voodoo that you do so well. We all be human, mortal people, whose life spans happen when they happen. Keep the pills coming and the vodka chilled.
