Artistic/creative efforts in photography and painting. To see the world in new ways, to “capture” its beauty, joy, multi-faceted nature.
Nature Photos
These photos are ones I have taken over the years. As I was preparing this section (Nov, 2022) I asked our daughter, Jena Ann (Shapiro) Huston, who is an amazing photographer, if she would look at and comment. You will see her comments below on several of them.
Jena: Wow, poppers,I feel so honored that you sought out my advice. The pictures are beautiful, you also have a beautiful eye. I looked at each picture in depth, and below is my commentary on each. Love, love you so much! Fun project! Thank you for including me. Love, Jena
Jena: Shadow of the trees behind the window shades, with the stained glass in the corner – beautiful in a haunting way. Love the stained glass how it is similar to what you are seeing outside from inside.
BALI: Pictures of Rites of Passage, the Barong, Faces Across Generations
Returning
In fear we trust
in trust we fear
Gulping, gasping
for air….
flailing, as if trying to swim, stay afloat,
but fear sinking back
underwater,
Sh-t! Hardly poised and courageous
Breathe…remember, Lao-Tzu said
the Tao is also in the excrement
