Photography
When I was a student at Arizona State University, I studied with Neil Miller. He had studied with and worked for Ansel Adams.
I worked at University City High School in San Diego for about 10 years. I ran the Media Lab and, among other things, I taught my students black and white photography. My first student went on to become one of New York City's finest baby and children photographers. Her name is Donna Padowitz. She took the black and white picture of Kim and I in the post about Kim.
A few years ago I took a workshop with Jay Maisel and I met a wonderful photographer named Joe Schuyler. Joe told me about PODart online gallery, so when I got home I sent them some images (always call your photographs "images" -- they are not "pictures," "pics," or "photos"), they liked them and you can see mine and Joe's in the Landscape & Still Life Photography gallery.

The Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all...
One is Evil. It is anger, fear, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

These two are amazing!
That is awesome. They are using the whole instrument - the drumming as well as the strumming. And the RESTS!!!! Wow, the power of the rest.
Cool.
Slayde and Becky, thanks for stopping by -- yes they are amazing and awesome. Allison told me about them. She saw them recently in Montreal.
bravo bravo...apasionado
gracias
Thanks for posting this. I'm particularly amazed by the girl's strumming. I really enjoy your blog - your photos are great. It's amazing that you studied with Jay Maisel. My parents had a series of photography books when I was a kid and there were several examples of his work in there. I used to stare at them long and long.
Hi Uncle, yes they are so truly deeply madly IN it. I envy that.
underblawger, thanks for the kind remarks and thanks too for coming to see me. I learned a few really good lessons from Maisel, but I didn't enjoy the experience. He is not a teacher first. And I also look long and long at his work.
