“… the first prerequisite in photography is a keen, insightful eye… there is no substitute for regular, rigorous practice. This I have not done for 30 years.

Practice is what this blog is about… many of the forthcoming photographs will be of limited interest or "artistic" merit, but they will hopefully be the start of a new, strong foundation and the honing of clearer photographic vision.”

June 29 – More of the Same

I labour under the assumption that you may tire of the endless shots of skies, fields and sunsets which I tend to post – although I hope that is not entirely true. I live my life almost entirely here on Ruth's Ridge these days. Occasionally, I head into town on an errand or two, to see friends or children, to visit my parents, to tend to the upkeep of the cottage but, otherwise, this is where I am. As the old saw goes, "Wherever you are, be there." I try to live that statement.

Save for this week's arrival of mosquitoes, I love the fields and the little that goes on in and above them: the birds, the sunrises and sunsets, the majestic cloud formations, the wind.

And, so, the saga continues.
