well…..due to a severe lack of inspiration and enthusiasm, i figured i’d just post a couple more pics and call it good. it does look like i can recover some writing and stuff from the website, so there’s hope that this blog might actually become engaging on some level….in the meantime, a
couple more pictures from the vault…..
From 1904, a picture of my great grandfather’s cattle…..no, I did not take the picture
And…..
A distorted picture taken by an old Argus camera
e
a couple pictures to start off the week. We’ll see what really happens. You may notice i’m new at this whole thing….not so much the concept of blogs and websites but more the “how to” of it all. i’m jumping from same-o same-o dial-up into this new universe of Apple and wi-fi. The I-Pad part is the steepest learning curve, just figuring the moving of files from here to there, the posting and updating etc. But hey, learn or die…right?
once i get used to the platform, my intent is to bring out a bunch of writing, photography and maybe even some old website material from the early 2000’s, when my nephew Tom and I first cranked up luxbndr.com……wouldn’t that be special?
So…..it looks like I can attach photos once I hit a wifi spot….two pictures attached to indicate my form of exercise (wood splitting) and my fascination with form and light ( snowdrifted table)
Enjoy?!

Today I decided to break out the old Jim Lahey book “My Bread” and try out the Olive Bread recipe…… it turned out magnificent!! (okay I’m not humble here, sorry)….but really it’s kind of simple if you follow Lahey’s recipe….and it really does help if you WEIGH ingredients instead of measuring them by cups/teaspoons and such….I highly recommend this book and encourage you to use scales! You’ll be happy with the results…..and so will everyone else!
ciao!
So…….the concept behind this blog is not a series of “I-Say Essays” …. Egotistical drivel disguised as commentary…but more a sharing of what’s out there in terms of thought, politics, essay, cooking, music, photography, art….. Yes, I will have my photographs, words writ large and yes, the sieve that strains the data into this blog will be ME……that cannot be avoided. But “it’s not about me”. It’s about the way light strikes each of us and an attempt to show the many gleaming shards of light that fall upon the rod and cone of the eye……and each eye is struck by rays of light that do not fall upon any other eye…..to me, that is significant….we are all seeing something different….yet somehow we ” agree” on what is reality…..mostly.
If there is such a thing as a “mission statement” or “artist’s statement” under this blog then that’s it
….
Starting off, though, with the expected…..photos of that which interests……
