"There are two kinds of light - the glow that illumines, and the glare that obscures." -James Thurber









I am newly fascinated with Bulb Photography. I think the way the light moves across the photo is both beautiful and inspiring to an artist like myself. These are my first attempts at Bulb Photography while traveling on the highway.

Always Rushing By part 2

Always Rushing By


I was listening
To time passing
Slipping quietly
Past falling feet
And coffee cups
Candles and kisses
Sheets of paper
Shuffled fingers
Dripping slyly
Fleeing shyly
Minutes
Move
Away
-Grim Farmer

"A lake carries you into recesses of feeling otherwise impenetrable." -Wordsworth

In spring of youth it was my lot
To haunt of the wide world a spot
The which I could not love the less-
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that towered around.

But when the Night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot, as upon all,
And the mystic wind went by
Murmuring in melody-
Then- ah then I would awake
To the terror of the lone lake.

Yet that terror was not fright,
But a tremulous delight-
A feeling not the jewelled mine
Could teach or bribe me to define-
Nor Love- although the Love were thine.

Death was in that poisonous wave,
And in its gulf a fitting grave
For him who thence could solace bring
To his lone imagining-
Whose solitary soul could make
An Eden of that dim lake.
Edgar Allan Poe
