AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE –Think of mysterious things – then laugh at your thoughts!

April 9, 2024 – Reading Norse Mytholog often put me to sleep after a hard days work near a famous Viking port.

Many years ago in Norse Mythology, during the first signs of spring, the Sun, Sister of the moon, Shone from the south, With her hand Over the rim of heaven sent a signal for the long ships to begin the seafaring season – Yesterday, in TGO the Vikings sent TGO a message to begin the RVfaring season. Thus, I have explained our solor eclipse.

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Enjoy your camera – there are so many kinds of photography to use it on.

March 28, 2024 – Finding photos on old disk I dug out of the attic!

It is fun finding my old photos – they show me doing stuff (street photography) – before my involvement in the TGO photo Club:

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – I can’t say enough about how inportant doing “Street Photography” of your life is to you and your family.

March 25, 2024 – Another place andother time:

One good reason to be a photographer is to give the opportunity to smile as you look back over your life in another place and another time – The JBARG ranch in Texas 2006. One of my brand new baby Belted Galloway calves and my friend the Roadrunner on the back porch.

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – make photos each day, then 15 years later spend an hour in quiet meditation and enjoy them.

March 22, 2024 – I continue to entertain myself with Photo AI (Artificial Intelligence for Photographers) – Oh my!

An AI view, from the Nature Trail, of TGO’s controled fire wise burn yesterday. – 22 animals I think?

JEB – 03 22 2024

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Maybe this AI stuff will be fun for you too!

AND NOW A THOUGHT OF MINE:

Being a photographer offers at least 5 elements of happiness – that is why I recommend photography to all seniors! 1. It helps us study the beauty of the art in what our eyes see (nature, people, & architecture). 2. Post processing gives unlimited opportunity to learn & apply the rules of art that we did not build into our photo when we snapped it. 3. Photography helps us socialize because we have a tangible product we use to trigger discussions with others (not just in person but digitally around the world via all those satellites rocketed up from Kennedy Space Center) 4. The physical demands of a photo shoot can be tailored to match our physical capabilities throughout life – even from a wheel chair if that happens. 5. Finally, if we ever verge on boredom, whip out the digital device and engage for an hour with the nature, people, & architecture of past times – boredom is gone!

I snapped this photo from the road near my home on Drummond Island a year or so ago.

Yesterday, I used a Beta version of a photo AI program to help me make this photo – I think it looks like a real shot of life on Drummond. – Oh my!

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Get ready for the future. – Some day in the future, I may take my argument to AI and see how it writes a story to convince you to become a photographer.
