I was out walking and found myself behind this gentleman. His posture just said “weariness” to me. A life well-lived, but circumstances that worn him down.
Just the stories we tell ourselves.
I took this image a while ago, but it has always been one that just yells LONELY
This is not a cry for company.. I was just going through my images looking for an images that conveyed the word “emotion” for a photo share group. I didn’t pick this one, but ended up with a couple that I thought evoked an emotion, rather than an image that depicted one.
I really like it when you screw up and it turns out to be fortuitous.
I was in a little hurry and got the photo paper in the printer upside down. When it came out of the printer, I knew immediately what I had done, but my response was very positive towards the resulting image. The problem with this as a regular process to create images is that the ink doesn’t dry for weeks and weeks. I finally had it dry enough so it wouldn’t smudge too much … but still had to put it inside a plastic sleeve in order to keep the ink from covering the scanner glass.
The original image was posted on a page here.
Camera: well, that’s a good question… um, a flat bed scanner
This was one of my regular walks around Capitol Lake in Olympia, WA … and the sky presented one of its more spectacular displays. I was amazed and really happy I was carrying my camera. Meanwhile, the majority of the walkers were totally oblivious to the scene.
Note: I have been in the process of relocating to Port Townsend … a hundred miles north of Olympia. It has been a very time consuming process. It has taken a toll on my ability to spend time with the camera. As a result, I have gone into the library to find some golden oldies to share. This one is from February 2016.

The sun was still trying to burn through the fog when I was walking around Capitol Lake. The title here is a play on words… since not only is summer over, but the rope swing hanging from the tree hasn’t been used for years. The lake is closed due to an invasive species of snail. It was a nice place to take the canoe out until they closed it.
