Bodie


More artsy stuff---- or not.

Huh?????

Yet another attempt at artsy/fartsy. I like to imagine that this is one of those photographs that one may see in Focus magazine and think to themselves,"how did he do that?", "what was his motivation?", "who cares and what if they did?" Photography by Heidi Christeson. Digital darkroom by J. Charles Heinlein

Long Story

Some 27 years ago I came upon a setting like this in Magnolia Gardens (Charleston, SC). I thought to myself, "what a great picture this would make." Alas, I had no camera. While recently vacationing in Charleston I came upon the same scene much to my delight. This time I had a camera.

Turmoil on Tallac

OK, last one of these for awhile. The problem here is that they are fun to do in that one really has to focus regarding color and light. My plan, however, is to go up into the mountains soon and get a new crop of landscapes and maybe later some artsy/fartsy images of my wife. It is time to try new things. As I'm sure my friend Maurice would advise: just go out and do it and have fun in the process!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The End Approaches

This was just down the valley from "The Hall of the Mountain King", so I thought it appropriate to have almost the same sky.

For a short time only


My wife would kill me for putting this on the blog. I, however, love the image and the lady in it. Take it from me, I am, without doubt, the luckiest man in the world. There should be a day set aside for all men and significant others who feel the way I do. It would be a celebration of all the special women in existence. Believe me when I say, I celebrate every day. Note the smile on my face and my black and white ear.

A bit of Whimsey











I'm sitting here listening to a radio station of my creation playing all the "standards." Who can do it better than Mel Torme, Michael Finestein, Nat Cole and Sarah Vaughn? So I got whimsical, found old images of flowers, and had some fun.
