Yes That's Right JOHN DENVER

One of the things that motivated me as an artist...yes I do believe I am now an artist....it has taken me years to get comfortable with using this term to describe what I do...I feel my vision, ability to communicate a message through my images have finely gotten to a point where I can and do say something.

My love of music goes back to a small kid...mostly I enjoyed just listening but about 6 or 7 years ago I finally broke down and bought a guitar...all because of the music and message of John Denver.

Here is an excerpt from a very recent article on CMT News, written by Chet Flippo........our society needs MORE JOHN DENVER!


'But music can and does affect a nation's mood. Not everyone liked John Denver's generally sunny songs, but his championing of nature and the earth made a genuine impact. And people still listen to and sing his songs. He made a difference, is what I'm saying. This week's disposable hell-raiser song does not. I got nothing against hell-raising. I just don't know that it's something you do all the time when everything's going to hell all around you. "

Here is a link to the full article!

Been Busy...but

I've been swamped and just not posted in awhile. I'll try and do much better.

This has nothing to do with photography but as photography is an art part of what inspired me to find my art in photography was/is my passion for great music, mostly country...all kinds of country...I like the old stuff...the new stuff...the rocky kind of stuff....

Here is just a great song...I've not been a big fan of Glen Campbell in years. If you research him you will find not only is he just an amazing guitar player but he has had huge influence on music for decades......sit back and enjoy a great singer songwriter.

More pics to come over the next week or two!
