  • December 5, 2023 – Seeing art each day:

    Our “The Great Outdoors” community is blessed with an array of weather conditions that produce special clouds for the base of creative photo art .

  • December 4, 2023 – A blessing our weather conditions have given to TGO:

    TGO is geographically blessed with an array of weather conditions that produce our cumulus clouds. They reflect, casting light and shadows in our lakes and canals, creating beautiful pieces of art that change moment by moment. The art is just there, not a once in a life time beautiful view, but a ho-hum beautiful view we can see almost anytime, like this one with a gator just adding a point of interest.

  • December 3, 2023 – Enjoy seeing how others live. I call that street photography.

    I want to see other’s life styles when I set out to do “Street Photography”.  I, also, want to be sure I do not present a judgement of what I see.  My joy is in seeing how others live.

    This photo is near the Fashion Institute of Technology, a college connecting technology to the fashion industry, in Manhattan, NYC. The top image is as me and my camera saw it. 

    In the second image I added a store front awning I photographed on another street in Manhattan.  The two photographs together made me laugh. That is why I enjoy photographing the streets of NYC.

    Notice the guy on our left looking the other way. “I see nothing” he says!
    AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE -Be yourself butt enjoy seeing how others live. Ha ha excuse my spelling error.

  • December 1, 2023 – A room with a view!

    Hope you figured out yesterdays surprise – It is not a blond haired lady, but a man’s ponytail. I did not notice it until I went to post that photo. Today’s photo is from a room that could be advertised as “A room with a view of Central Park”.

    New York City – 2023
    AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Try to think about what you want each photo say before you snap it – but if you don’t – worry not, because you can figure out what it says when you share it with family and friends.

  • November 30, 2023 – This was to be about looking for “Street Photos” of focusing subjects – But surprise —

    Continuing the theme of capturing “street photos” of people focusing on what they are doing – I loved capturing the two studying their phones but SURPRISE – what about the blond haired lady sittng to their left – OOPS! – look harder – When you focus harder you will see realility!

    AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Whithout focus you may see what is not really there – and that is only half the fun – with focus you see realility and abstreact realility. You get two for one.

  • November 29, 2023 – Dave Cesari’s Bluebirds from yesterday. But first, a photo featuring my daughter!

    AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Look out your window – See andy birds – Dave does and he creates photo art? – See any skyscrapers with sun or snow making them a piece of art. What ever you see – enjoy it because art is great to see – without it there is only darkness!
