I hit twenty active years on dA last January. I was 54 when I decided upon "pearwood".

I lay down in the back yard and pointed the camera straight up. We rather like our little place. It's not perfect, it always needs work, but it will do.

It struck me that an important first step in finding such approximations is learning to be happy where one is right now, recognizing the faults and limitations but choosing to be happy in spite of them. Call it a restless contentment.

Pictober 18 - Utopia

Utopia - an ideally perfect place, especially in its social, political, and moral aspects - exists only in approximation.
Black and white photograph looking straight up at the trees and sky.

A collection of old classmates (-: mostly male :-) came out to cheer her on. A good time was had by all.

Pictober 17 - Axis

After taking my photograph of the ghosts of The Flower Head Folks (which you will see later), I turned the camera around for a photograph of the ghosts of Anastasia's Fan Club, seated under the long axis of the long room at Faircraft Brauhaus.
Black and white pinhole photograph with what seems to be a crowd of ghosts due to the long exposure.

Pictober 16 - Inaudible

Unheard conversations at Silver Lake Brewing Project in Perry, New York.

Lanse and I stopped there after hiking at Letchworth.
Black and white pinhole photograph with the camera sitting directly on the bar. A beer goblet is visible at center. People are visible faintly at other tables inside and outside. The far windows are reflected on the bar surface.

Heh. Except that at the rate this aging body moves, I would be staying in hostels every night for most of a year. At the very least.

I would go hike the Appalachian Trail and stay in hostels every night.
