Hi-dee-ho Friends!

“Relentless Time” by Manwathiell

Funny how a man-made thing like time can run your life. We’re conceived by it and we live by it and we die by it. There’s never enough time—it’s like money…if you have enough you probably don’t need it and if you don’t have enough you’re probably spending a lot of time trying to earn it.

My life is run by time—as is probably yours. Seventy hours a week I spend driving a truck hauling beets—not complaining, mind you as the time is running out on that job anyway. Only 3-3 ½ months to go then ??? We’ve had good weather and made some progress—there are many many more loads and miles to go before the end.

I want to thank everybody for the comments, favorites and features lately I’ve not been terribly active due to the long nights and long hours I work. I miss the camaraderie and interaction with my friends here. Such is life though—one has to work. I do really appreciate each and every comment, favorite and feature

I’m sure you’ve noticed that the writing I’ve been submitting has been a little on the dark side—a little nightmarish and a little different. I write what I feel and when I’ve found a piece of art that fits how I feel inspiration hits. I repressed this for years and will not do so anymore—it’s not fair to me and it makes me hurt inside even more than I already do. I will only post some of the more tame stuff though Andrew Gettler has been kind enough to allow me the use of some of his pieces, but I don’t want you folks to think that horror and macabre is all he has in his gallery—it’s not, have a look

Daragh has allowed me the use of one of his mixed media pieces for a poem that came as I looked at his amazing art. Please have a look at his gallery—you won’t be disappointed

I haven’t been posting many pictures because, well, I’ve seen what my stuff looks like on this laptop and I tell ya—I’m not impressed I don’t know if they really look that crappy or if it’s just this laptop No one has told me that my pics look muddy and dark but that’s what I see when I view them on a laptop (I’m casting a critical eye on whether I will buy a laptop or not). I just won’t post anything I’m not happy with anymore. I have been out doing some shooting, but as I said, I won’t post them until I get home and look at them on my PC with the old style CRT monitor. These LCD’s aren’t what they are cracked up to be.

One more reason I haven’t been posting many pictures is that I’ve lost a lot of confidence in my ability and I feel a lot inadequate. I’m quite frustrated as I know all I need to do is learn more but there is no time (hence the header picture ‘Relentless Time ). I’m also more and more getting away from doing a lot of editing and trying instead to just take great pictures in the first place using filters so I don’t have to edit much.

If you made it down this far you might as well check out the features I posted along with this Thanks!
