We made dinner.

As usual, I was sidetracked form the actual event I was shooting and saw this little man looking out onto the lake.

Floral designer Tom Wineman
Mary Hoats using a branch to drip white latex paint on raw canvas. Action painting (like Pollock) in an abstract art class.  So fun to watch these older women let out their aggressions on the canvas.  It was so exciting.

I'm also working on a new website that is not blogified. So it will be up when I get somewhat finished. But I'm keeping this blog for ongoing stuff

Kenny Loggins performed at Chautauqua

I don't really like the idea of performances in general.  They are too extensively planned and calculated and not real. But people need their entertainment, so I guess it has to be. 

I like finding photos that show moments that are not at the height of the action.   I like when the person is just being. Maybe thinking about their dog on stage. Or inhaling, thinking of what to say next.  When things look quiet.

Just things I saw along the way...

The third photo is from a few weeks ago. Its at lecture by Garry Trudeau (Doonesbury creator). View from the crows nest in the Amphitheater.

  This elderly man was sitting right next to me in a lecture hall on some steps.  He was in pain because of the seating situation and I thought it looked beautiful not in focus, with the weight on the physical expression.
