I might have mentioned we have a new granddaughter coming soon! Sidney turns 5 this Friday and within a couple of weeks will be joined by his sister Vivien Grace. Sidney and his Mom came down to Salem for lunch Saturday which turned out to be the perfect moment to turn over the quilts… Two […]
Well we’re ALL trying to “live in the moment”…to “lessen our screen time”…to enjoy our lives as we live them…yes? Yes. That precludes writing about these moments, but I continue to gather the images as if I WERE writing about them, and now I’m way behind. So how about trying to catch up with just […]
The media is filled this morning…eclipse photos of great telescopic/cellphone beauty…ecstatic exclamations…large groups all experiencing together this moment of science and imagination…great fun. I didn’t think I’d write about it since my pictures are blurry and unremarkable in every way…but…why not. Maybe many of us though decided to experience this phenomenon in our own backyards…to […]

Monday is Sidney day every week. We head to Portland to hang out with a very nice young man, soon to be 2, but Monday is a day most galleries are closed. ONE gallery that IS open that we’ve come to like is Duplex Gallery. One reason we like to go is the very nice […]
We started our Mondays with Sidney about a year ago. Each day is a gem, and with a person of Sidney’s age you have to live pretty much in the moment. “Living in the moment” for some of us involves image making…of course. In reviewing the images from today though I was struck by how […]
We just came home from two splendid weeks away at the beach house, (no media, no blogging), and one whole week Sidney was there too… We noticed he is a guy on the move…. But there were quiet moments…a quick Elmo video while breakfast was cooking… LOTS of reading, including this one from 1974 […]
