A new year or just another day?

Whatever you do, make the most out of it.
Hope this is not needed, but here it is.

Love you all Todd

Oh and this is best viewed if you click on the full screen button in the center
you avoid the slipslide zoom feature that way ( I did not do it)
and remember esc gets you back to reality.

New years resolution - to promote my art

This is a first step it is a test it is only a test I have no idea how well it will work but maybe...

Eyecandy - new photos - no words - yet

This is a portfolio of shots taken with my new camera.
Enjoy.

Testing again this is not as easy as it looks

Hi This is the same document but hopefully with links to my website
and magcloud where it can be ordered. New documents will come anon

Keeping the momentium going -this is link to flickr

Have kept myself busy taking photos of various bird visitors.
In honor of the season they seem to be making a pilgrimage the the Buddha in our yard.
Promise to get Very Simple Guides going again soon, but at least I am posting

click on the title of this post to go to photos on flickr

It has been a while

these things are easy to neglect
I will work to get some new pages up soon buf ro now will share a couple of recent photos
unfortunately the pictures the new camera takes are often larger than the file size this blogger allows. more soon I hope

for better or worse the finalists for the grant

The theme will be water as source of life
and an instrument of healing.
or some such high falutin verbiage
I wish I could include more but the rules
are
the rulez.

final bunch of new collection

in no particular order here they are.

part 2 some are similar but all made first cut.

here is the next bunch trying to find balance and theme
a few more tomorrow. Thanks

taking suggestions another attempt at finding photos for the grant.

a lot of these are of water in one form or another...
but not this one.

I think the theme will be something to do with water

Thanks for your comments

I, of course, am still confused.
I need to work on it some more but have been reducing words
enlarging fonts,
and am considering using other photos.

More will be revealed.

The final bunch

I have to remember this is a totally different medium
the ones I select will be shown large on a
screen four at a time (in a row)
for a very shot time - in the first round(s)
at some point they will read the description of the first one in each set.

Some of these, like the one above, have text below the image.
I don't know if this makes a difference
or if it is good or bad.
but it may be a sign of too much text.
In the one below I think I will remove the belief in yourself line.

below - too cute?

a number of people have pointed this one out
as one they like when reading the book
- from projection. But it is wordy compaired to the others

Another bunch of candidates note: my comments (if any) refer to photo below them.

First, thank you, and
do not feel you need produce a coherent response.
These photos as always can be enlarged by clicking on them

This one, though a snapshot
and taken with a lesser camera, is working its way up the list
though it may have too many words.

the one below is probably too wordy
can take out some text

Not a "pretty" picture - but message is direct

this one may not work so well out of context.

though I love this one
and it really applies I think it may be
too complicated and would detract from initial
viewing which is going to be very fast.

This one comes from one of the final
more up-beat sections of a book
if included it will come towards the end
