Definition of "Watching Your Back" to new heights!
See this...it's funny and horrible at the same time. Thankful she it okay! Wow! Listen to the bear!https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mY1HvWyJNdM
This video is suppose not to be real. It's too much like me being so engrosed in framing pictures when I turn around here is a doe and two fawns watching. Enjoy anyway!
KEEPING UP ON YARD WORK. LOVE GETTING OUT BUT I’M FALLING TIRED. YESTERDAY I DRAGGED YARD ALL DAY, THEN NIGHT STARTED LIGHTNING AFTER I GOT ALL CLEANED UP. BOY IT WAS ELECTRIC ANGRY! BEFORE YOU COULD EVEN SEE IT. I WAS SCARED SO IT WAS SOME TIME TIL I WENT OUT. I DIDN’T GET MUCH. THE WEATHER SERVICE WAS REPORTING A SERIOUS STORM, HAIL, 100MPH WINDS. SO LONG AFTER THE FUN OF BEING IN A DOWNPOUR IN THE CAR I CAME BACK AND CLEANED UP FROM THAT (I WAS NOT OUTSIDE WITH MY CAMERA -HA) IT WAS 3AM AND I HAD TO EAT. REST FOR TWO HOURS OR SO AND TRIED TO PHOTO THINGS IN BACKYARD AT DAWN. NOT TOO MUCH. SO THEN BOTH MY BATTERYS WENT FLAT AND I WAS CHARGING THOSE AND TRYING TO WORK ON MY PHOTO INDEXING. I’M GETTING ALONG. TO SAY, I WOULD LIKE THE INTERNET SO I COULD WATCH THE PROGESS OF A STORM ON LAPTOP. MY BACK IS GOING TO BREAK.
This was a warp testing “Donkey Xing”, I worked and it turned into something. I picked a really hard warp test and didn’t expect to come up with anything This was done a month ago. Then there was the storm. I want to have a new background but not yet. Some flowers, even it they are fresh bloomed do not look good in pictures. I was looking over my stuff. I got some, learned a thing and deleted a lot, and I am glad I get rid of trash. So far so good. I started focusing differently and held my breath that it worked. It did. But you would be surprised at some that don’t show anything, I must check my that my tripod is really tight.
I need to warp more for this journal. It’s a quandary, if I see on a better screen, it looks finer, if not I need to warp - I guess. In my travels I’ve seen a dead deer with maggots, a poor dead catfish, either a winter kill or spring catch, and plenty of life. Esp. shoots. New beetles, a slug curled in a leaf. I had to drop the photo because I was picking my Mom’s Lily of the Valley for a picture - it couldn’t wait. When I got back he had moved. I tried the fly and chain pic but don’t have the right equipment. The eves are clean (what a job) but the screens are not and not up yet and I don’t know when the helicopters are coming (tree seeds). I changed the background to another older pic, but don’t see it yet.
6/6/16 I’ve been working on house. I had energy and the days were really nice to finally be outside with the wind blowing by me and nothing but A B C to put in place. I really did get roof parts cleaner. I really didn’t think it would work, but my little idea removed the spots where falling leaves collect in fall before they blow off or I get them off. I really can’t keep up with the rain, some do collect. The roof looks better, not shabby. I hope the shingles do not start loosing grit. I did this year get all the way across the front scrubs and got them trimmed and the other tied. I’m done early! Just painting and inside garage cleaning. My neighbor’s power washer that I got for next to nothing at a garage sale would not work. It has been balking for two years. I thought it was shot but went to the company and found out I was not connecting the hose tight enough…because I couldn’t get it off the first time!!! So this time my mind told me to try loosing the other end of the hose by the house first and letting out the pressure…this seemed to work - I then got the other end off that was attached to the washer! Now I have the washer back and I am happy. I can get the floor of the garage cleaner.. I work hard but the house does end up looking okay year by year.
Taking pictures - it’s wearing me out.
This background - I need a new one!
6/9/16 How much more spraying or cutting or rolling over or traffic can I stand. I need a place for myself and I don’t mean a hole in the wall with a TV. I don’t have a good income. I need more money by doing what I can do, not what I try to do and wrack my body up by doing it. I would be trying to work on a background today, but I have something coming up and I can’t commit…it would be into the hours of the morning and I would miss sleep. For photography advice I have, go out when it is favorable to be getting something. You never know. Most of the time you get your shots as you think you would, but sometimes you get the greatest shots when you are on your way out for the day. They just happen. I’ve stopped mostly trying to find a close-up shot with my eye and just look thru the lens at things. Also, remember to take food and drink and hand cleaner. I have lists made up. Don’t forget the little mosquitos, a hat, sun protection, and footwear.
This looks better but I'm not that sad!
FIRST DRAFT BACKGROUND - SOMETHING DIFFERENT - MAYBE BETTER TO COME WHEN I GET THE CHANCE TO WORK ON IT. SURPRISED I GOT AS FAR AS I DID. I HAVE ALL THESE PICTURES IN LAYERS. THESE THINGS START OUT OKAY, BUT AS YOU TRY AND GET RID OF ALL THE STRAIGHT JACKET. ONE THING CANCELS ANOTHER, BUT I’M UP FOR IT! IT ALWAYS LOOKS BETTER ON MY COMPUTER AS I SAID, DIFFERENT MONITORS! I’M TAKING A LOT OF PICTURES AND IT BREAKS MY BACK. BEFORE I WENT TO WORK I GOT SOME OF THE CARPET AND RUGS CLEANED A BIT IN THE HOUSE. THAT WAS BOTHERING ME. I KNOW THESE BACKGROUNDS DISTRACT FROM THE PICTURES I PUT IN, AND YOU CAN'T READ TEXT UNLESS YOU HIGHLIGHT IT, BUT I LIKE AS I SHIFT AND SHAPE TO HAVE THE EYE ALWAYS FALL ON SOMETHING CUTE AND SOOTHING, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. I KIND OF LIKE THAT, BUT IT DOES OVERTHROW THE PICTURES AT TIMES. PART OF WHAT I HAVE TO WORK ON?
This is 2nd draft. I'm going to try and work on more. Very busy, hope I can mow the yard!
QUANDARY, BACKGROUND LOOKS C LOSE TO OKAY ON A WIDE SCREEN DESKTOP. (LEFT EDGE PORTION IS REPEATED ON THE RIGHT EDGE. THIS ADDS MORE TO IT.) ON THE SMALLER LIBRARY SCREENS AND A SMALLER DESKTOP WIDE SCREEN, THE LEFT EDGE IS NOT REPEATED ON THE RIGHT. IF YOU COULD CHANGE THE RESOLUTION ON THESE SMALLER SCREENS, I’M NOT UP WITH THAT, DON’T KNOW ENOUGH. SO ON THE SMALLER SCREEN VIEW I WOULD WANT TO EDIT AND ADD A BIT MORE, AND IF I DID, PEOPLE VIEWING WITH BIG WIDE SCREENS WOULD SEE A BACKGROUND THAT WAS TOO BUSY. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I GUESS YOU CAN ALTER YOUR SCREEN ZOOM, BUT I THINK YOU WOULD NEED A "LANDSCAPE" OPTION TO PREVENT TILES. I DON'T KNOW.
IF YOU SEE THIS IN THE FULL WIDE SCREEN VIEW WITH THE RIGHT TACK- ON. YOU SEE A LOT OF VERTICAL DIVISIONS. (My health problem throughout after college to the present is getting better, but it’s not fully corrected yet. Meaning if I was all the way back, I might change my mind on this…) IF YOU WERE TO VIEW THIS BACKGROUND AS JUST A STAND ALONE IMAGE I THINK THESE VERTICAL LINES WOULD LOOK BETTER BLENDED OUT. I WAS SITTING THERE TRYING TO FIGURE. THIS IS A JOURNAL BACKGROUND AND THESE DIVISIONS IN THE BACKGROUND (TO ME) MAKE THE JOURNAL MORE TELETYPE. I HAVE NO OTHER LINKS OR INFO SCRIPT IN THIS BECAUSE I WANTED THE ART BACK. MAYBE THE LINES MAKE A MORE NEWSY BED AS YOU SCROLL DOWN. SO THAT IS WHY I LEFT IT THAT WAY. I MAY CHANGE MIND IN THE FUTURE. IF I HAVE THE TIME I THOUGHT I MIGHT TRY AND MAKE IT A STAND ALONE. SEE HOW THAT LOOKS. HOLDING YOUR HAND UP TO BLOCK A DIVISION IS NOT THE GREATEST TEST!I
HAVE BEEN BREAKING WITH PHOTOSHOP, WHO CAN NOT WITH OUTSIDE. I CAN BE THERE AND LEARN MORE PS. THE DEER FINALLY RAN ME OFF THE FIELD. I NEED A BODY GUARD AND A DOG. I’M SIDELINED NOW. ANIMALS ARE ATTACKING. LAST NIGHT AFTER DARK A POSSUM WAS STALKING ME! AREN’T THEY SUPPOSE TO BE TIMID? THE JUNE BUGS ARE NOW! WITH THE LIGHTNING BUGS. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE SUMMER FIELD SCENT AT NIGHT. I EVEN RENEWED WHEN A SKUNK CAME BY. I’M TRYING TO WORK ON PHOTO EDITING. BUT I HAD TO FAINT FINALLY GETTING MY COMPUTER WIRELESS CARD REPLACED. THAT WAS A BIG ONE. IT’S BACK AND EVERYTHING SEEMS OKAY AND NOW THE WIRELESS WORKS, OR MY KEYBOARD AND MOUSE. I DON’T HAVE THE INTERNET. SO THAT INTERVENED. I GOT SOMETHING ELSE TO DO. I CAN’T FILL OUT A FORM, I HAVE TO RESEARCH MONEY FLOW. SOMETIMES PICTURES JUST FALL TO YOU AND SOMETIMES YOU DON’T FIND AS MUCH. I DON’T GO OUT ALL THE TIME - I WORRY ABOUT THIS. I GO OUT IN FOG. BUT FOR CERTAIN THINGS YOU NEED GAS. I’VE USED UP THE AREA AROUND ME FOR LANDSCAPES AND BARNS. I FINALLY PHOTOED THE SKY AND LOOKED FOR SENSOR DUST SPOTS. I FOUND TWO ONLY. THIS IS INCREDIBLE TO ME.
Still not chance to draw. I got kind of caught up for another year. Another year of back change back means I can get further back to the way I was in college (No problem with finishing off a drawing to look normal). Better but not fixed. So my back and tish is not in line yet so these drawings may still not be 100% correct in their fininh, and I can not see it yet. The things I go thru to try and be normal. These are like ongoing practice to become more loose, but I'm tired and wrung out and I havent yet (I think) got on to a nip or twist as I go - it's not in me yet.
NEW PEOPLE IN ART
IN “MEMORIES”, IN THIS JOURNAL, WHICH I HAVE DIVIDED INTO HEADINGS: RECIPES, PHOTOS, TOPICS ETC… YOU WOULD FIND (UNDER TOPICS) MY IDEAS ABOUT ART.
AGAIN, MY FEELINGS ARE THAT TODAY IS A BIT NOT LIKE THE PAST, WHERE THERE WERE JUST ONE OR SEVERAL NAME ARTISTS THAT MADE IT TO “THE TOP.” [THAT WERE CONSIDERED HISTORIC. AND MAINLY THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE ARTISTS WERE ALL DEAD.] I JUST THINK THAT ONGOING EVOLUTION OF ALL PEOPLE HAS CHANGED THIS IN THE BABY BOOM GENERATION (MAYBE BEYOND, I DON’T KNOW ) AND IN THIS GENERATION (WORLD WIDE) THERE ARE MANY MORE PEOPLE THAT FEEL QUALIFIED TO BE PART OF THIS. I DON’T MEAN SECONDARY STANDING RIGHT UNDER THE TOP PEOPLE, I MEAN ALL STANDING EQUAL. (SOME PEOPLE MAY FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH A TOP TO BOTTOM HIERARCHY. THEY COULD HAVE THEIR OWN PART.)
(QUALIFIED (?)) YOU WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS, BUT IF YOU’RE AN ACCOUNTANT, BIKER, FACTORY WORKER, FARMER, UNABLE TO WORK, ETC YOU COULD CONTRIBUTE PICTURES OR A BODY OF WORK TO IT. NOT NECESSARILY WOULD YOU HAVE HAD TO DEVOTE EVERY WAKING MINUTE TO ART IN YOUR PAST LIFE. BUT SOMEHOW, YOU WOULD NEED TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT IT, HAVE STUDIED (ON YOUR OWN TIME OR IN COLLEGE OR COURSES) THE FINE ARTS. FELT THAT SOME OF WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN IN MAGAZINES, TELEVISION, MOVIE BACKDROPS, PAST ART HISTORY, MUSEUMS, AND THE INTERNET WAS IMPORTANT AND A PART OF ALL AND WAS A VALID HUMAN ENDEAVOR . THAT THE FINE EDGE ATTRACTED YOU, RELAXED YOU, CALLED YOU. YOU FELT ART/PHOTOGRAPHY WAS PART OF YOU, AND BENEFICIAL AND SIGNIFICANT TO THE WORLD, YOU WANTED TO TRY AND EXPRESS YOURSELF IN IT. (THIS COULD APPLY TO THE OTHER ARTS AS WELL.) BECAUSE YOU NEED A STRUCTURE OR GOVERNMENT SO ALL ARE SAFE AND FED. NOT ANYONE ON A JOY RIDE WHO WANTS TO TEAR DOWN EVERYTING WOULD BE GOOD TO GET IN. I DON’T WANT ANARCHY.
MANY PEOPLE SEE ART, WALK AWAY AND GO DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. NATURE MAKES THE ART AND SHE WILL NEVER HAVE ANY EQUAL IN IT. (MAYBE WE SHOULD PLACE HER AS TOP ARTIST!) (GET AWAY FROM YOUR VILLAGE OR CITY INTO OR BY A NATURAL TYPE OF FIELD OR WOOD AND YOU ARE SUDDENLY SURROUNDED BY FINENESS! I’M THINKING OUR PRE-HISTORIC ANCESTORS SOMETIMES HAD TO BET THEIR LIVES ON MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT THIS FINENESS THAT ALWAYS SURROUNDED THEM. FINE ART IS A PART OF US.)
SO DON’T FEEL SO ODD THAT YOU LIKE FINE ART. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE I AM BETTER THAN PEOPLE WHO DON’T LIKE ART OR THAT THEY NEVER SEE IT. THEY PROBABLY HAVE MORE OF IT INSIDE THEM. BUT I FEEL THAT I AM COMPELLED TO MAKE IT OR COPY IT. I DON’T WANT TO WALK AWAY AND DO SOMETHING ELSE. IN THE PAST ART SEEMED TO BE A POINTER TOWARDS A SAFER BETTER LIFE FOR ALL. TODAY MAYBE IT IS STILL A POINTER OR A KIND OF STATUS QUO. I DON’T KNOW. I FEEL MOST OF US LIKE IT BEING AROUND EVEN IF MOST DON’T SPEND A LOT OF TIME VIEWING IT.
SO I FEEL MORE PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO DO FINE ART TODAY AND THEY GET REALLY MAD WHEN THEY SEE OTHERS BEING SET UP NOW TO BE THE “HISTORIC ARTISTS” OF THEIR TIME. THINK ABOUT THIS. IS THERE ANYTHING RECORDED ABOUT THE NON PICKS OF VINCENT VAN GOGH’S TIME OR THE IMPRESSIONISTS? DID THEY GET MAD AND START A REVOLT OR DID THEY JUST GO BACK AND SMOKE A BUTT AND DECIDE THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DEGRADE THEMSELVES BY BEING PART OF SOMETHING SO STANDUP AND STUPID AND UNGROUNDED? THEY DIDN’T GET MAD ENOUGH TO START MARCHING. THEY DIDN’T COMMIT SUICIDE OR HAVE SERIOUS LIFE LONG DEPRESSION BECAUSE OF IT, THEY HAD THEIR LIFE ANYWAY. WILL YOU? WILL YOU NOT FEEL DEEPLY JILTED WHEN YOU SEE OTHERS PUT UP TO BE HISTORIC? OR WILL YOU FEEL THAT THEY ARE BETTER IN ART AND SHOULD BE THE ONLY ONES IN THAT SPOT. (TOP ARTISTS IN THE PAST HAD EVERYTHING TOGETHER IN THEM, I FEEL NOW THAT EACH PERSON IS GOOD AT AND CARRIES PARTS OF WHAT ONCE WAS A WHOLE.) THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME FEEL THAT THIS THING IS DIFFERENT NOW. YOU DO BELONG IN A GROUP OF PEOPLE REPRESENTING THIS. IT IS NOT ENVY. WE NATURALLY BELONG IN IT BECAUSE NATURALLY, ONGOING EVOLUTION HAS CHANGED MORE PEOPLE INTO THE FINE ARTS. WHAT REALLY WORRIES ME IS THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT IN THE ARTS ARE DOING VERY FINE THINGS INSIDE THEIR OWN VOCATION AND DO NOT FEEL THAT THEY, OR WHAT THEY ARE DOING WILL RECEIVE THE SAME IMPORTANCE AS THE ARTS. TO THAT I CAN SAY…WE DIDN’T GET OR STAY HERE BY ART ALONE. IN FACT MOST HUMAN ENDEAVOR IN THE PAST AND PRESENT IS NOT, OR EVER WAS IN THE ARTS. ART WAS DONE ONLY WHEN THERE WAS ENOUGH FOOD IN CERTAIN STOMACHS. SOME IMPORTANCE WAS PROBABLY ATTACHED TO DEFENSE, FOOD, MEDICINE THOUGH. (WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MILLIONS OF YEARS. RECORDED HISTORY IS JUST THE LAST MINUTE OR SO.) SO MAYBE THE PYRAMID WITH ART& MUSIC ETC …AT THE TOP SHOULD BE LOOKED AT DIFFERENTLY NOW.
SO KEEP ON WITH YOUR ART ENDEAVORS OR START SOME. YOUR “HOBBY” COULD BECOME PART OF ART HISTORY. THERE IS ROOM NOW! THIS IS MY THEORY.
I’M NOT SAYING THIS IS THE WAY IT IS. ONLY MY IDEAS I’VE THOUGHT UP. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH OTHERS AND GET OTHER POINTS OF VIEW! IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES ARTISTS MAY NOT EVEN HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET OR SCANNING OR DIGITAL CAMERAS TO EVEN HAVE AN INTERNET SITE, NOT EVEN TO MENTION THEY DON’T EAT ENOUGH!!!! I DON’T KNOW.
ALSO I HAVE PUT UP SOME ( MAYBE NOT) REALLY CHERRY SUBJECT MATTER ARTWORK IN THIS JOURNAL. I DON’T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO PUT,OR HOW, OR BELONG TO ANY GROUP. I DON’T KNOW WHERE. I COULD PUT UP MORE, OR EVEN RUN LATEST PHOTOS OR DRAWINGS, BUT I’VE KEPT IT DOWN. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. SO THOSE ARE MY FEELINGS.
This video is suppose not to be real. It's too much like me being so engrosed in framing pictures when I turn around here is a doe and two fawns watching. Enjoy anyway!
