Blogger. Interrupted.

This image comes to you via a porta potti midway along the San Juan Skyway in Colorado. Beauty is everywhere. It is up to us to find it.

Now why a guy like me carries a camera...everywhere-including into the restroom, is probably a bit of an obsession with beauty-always waiting on some unexpected moment. Waiting on that ordinary something that I've seen a thousand times before, that under the right light, the right shadow, the right mood-becomes magical.

Of course there is often a lot of waiting and expectation, hoping for inspiration. And for every shot I like, there are a thousand that I don't.

Speaking of waiting, especially with this blog, if you've noticed, it is barely coming to you at all.

As with all good stories, especially those delayed, I can explain.

I've had major computer issues. Add to this problems with Verizon and with my wifi card. My computer is on its last legs...if I can just get it to last through the end of the month.....and then this one, this loyal companion, I think is about done...

School, work, and additional head injury related medical tests dominate my calendar. I have had to make six round trips to Seattle since May. That's nearly a 1000 miles a trek. The delays getting over the passes and just getting out of Idaho have been significant.

September should be a bit slower as I rush to get work in to school that was due Spring Quarter. Then October begins another round of hospitals and doctors.

In November I am presenting at the APHA convention in Philly.

Then home for snow season.

I am going to post an image a day from these last few months. To make up for being so bad.

Also the hats are done...and as soon as I find out who won, I will send ya an email.

Thanks for sticking it out with me...
