Resting Deep

Posted on May 6, 2013 by commart

An Exhausted Writer’s Retreat – Sunset, Blinds, Hunter Hill, May 1, 2013

Posted on May 1, 2013 by commart

On the old Oppenheim Arts & Letters, I had noted several times in its “19th Century” modern section the horror of having applied serious creative writing chops and energy to “chatyping” — that’s what I call all of this — at … Continue reading →

Snapshot, Dusk, Hunter Hill, March 18, 2013

Posted on March 18, 2013 by commart

I had thought this an easy winter — few bitter days, not much snow: pleasant for sorting things. Instead: monstrous. Isolated. Going through certain motions, cycles, moods, adjustments. Waiting out the end of snow season.

“Straw Girl” Is My “Wilson”, Hunter Hill, March 2009

Posted on March 8, 2013 by commart

I’ve published this straw blonde babe before — “Change of Seasons — Change of Plans” — (the seasons have changed, of course, I’m not so sure about the plans), and perhaps we’ll see her again come the orange and black … Continue reading →

Back to the Studio!

Posted on March 3, 2013 by commart

Two blogs or one for creative expression? I had hoped that Communicating Arts, my DBA. would have its own more business-like face and that this blog would be more intimate. But that would take discipline. Nonetheless, I may give the other … Continue reading →

Will Try to Slow It Down (Maybe)

Posted on March 3, 2013 by commart

This latest flurious posterbating comes of rediscovering old shots on the way to recompiling a collection that started as a block of 20,000 files and for backup was divided both by year and subject into a dozen separate Lightroom catalogs. … Continue reading →

Watch Me Work!

Posted on February 27, 2013 by commart

Before rebuilding my computer, I had to back up about a terabyte’s worth of drives.  The reassembled box features 2.5 Terabytes of drive — now that is a modern guy’s idea of a “clean slate”! — and given my circumstance … Continue reading →

Bad Snapshots

Posted on February 5, 2013 by commart

God only knows I didn’t set out to share with the world first-thing-in-the-morning snapshots from my kitchen window. God, however, has a wicked sense of humor. I wonder: have I spent too much time on Facebook? Playing guitar? Reading? Watching … Continue reading →

I’ve Had Three Days

Posted on February 2, 2013 by commart

I’ve had three days, and I think that’s long enough to get over myself (and whatever it is that’s been bothering me and whose details I shall not divulge). I am a free man! Hot danish and Pete’s coffee — … Continue reading →

Sandstone Girl and Snow

Posted on January 28, 2013 by commart

Chillin’, And You Would Be Too at Minus Nine Celsius

Posted on January 22, 2013 by commart

Very cool news: the studio brought in a little bit of web work, and I’m going to munch through those hours in just a little bit. In the preceding post, you saw Dean’s picture of me taking a picture (now … Continue reading →
