UGH !!!

I brought 2 - 1.5 TB portable harddrives to back up all my photo files from my laptop and 3 smaller portable drives. the plan is to finish one large drive , copy that to the other large drive and then burn DVDs for a 3rd back-up. the problem is everytime I start sorting files to save or delete I come across a file or two that I want to edit.

Christ ! I'm never going to finish this project ;0( .

On to the next project

Now that I'm finished working on files from Martha's Vineyards it's time to move on to the next project.at least until winter and I'm snowed in looking for something to do. so with autumn knocking on the door I'll be heading to the Adirondacks , Vermont and the White Mountains of NH if I don't get myself killed first.

Never say good-bye

The last day of Alison Shaw's September workshop was spent at the West Tisbury Farmers Market.Below are photos from that last get together. Taking photos of people has never been something that came to mind for me , looking back now on all the workshops I have attended over the years it has turned out to be a regret.I guess better late then never.

These are only a few of the wonderful people that I captured with my camera .Other's like Donna B , Ann , Donna Foster , Ellen , Kathy , Ginny , Mary , Arthur and Jen will never be forgotten.

Thoughts rattling around in my head

I can remember the nuns leading me by the ear , but for the life of me I can't remember anyone ever having to lead me by the hand.

It's easy to gain the love and admiration of a child.One just has to get down low so that they can look you in the eyes on their own two feet.

Playing catch with your dad is like tossing dreams back and forth.Some you'll catch and some you'll drop and maybe after a while some will come true.

Laying back watching the stars I can't understand how anyone could not believe in an almighty. God may of left us to fend for ourselves , but she's there .

Know your heart , know yourself and set a compass bearing harmonic to both.

Every time you look to the stars you are seeing something new.

Every photographer has their own rules they use to achieve success , success for me comes from breaking everyone of them.

Mathematics is the purist language of all . Whether they realize it or not scientist are learning to talk in the same language God speaks.

It is with photography that I'm able to talk with God in a way that we both understand each other.

Baseball is life itself , no matter where you are the goal is always the same . To get home safe and sound .

William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
