Between an artist reception, printing jobs, and being without power for the last three days, I've not had much time to comment lately.
Most of you may remember this Elton John hit from many moons ago that seems to be stuck in my head right now because of this week's ice storm...any trees still standing are mighty strong indeed.
Here's one I photographed that impressed me yesterday as it basked in the late afternoon sun...

It's one a very few still standing. It looks like a lawn mower ran across the Ozarks. Nice lighting. It looks like it's begging for attention. I would stop and stare for a while if I saw that.

Good thing you had your tele on... If one of those branches fell, it could have knocked you out and broken some glass! Where are you showing your work? I would have stopped by...

Aaron - the reception was at the AR World Trade Center, where I've had work displayed for about two years now. Other artists who have shown work there in the last year were in attendance too. The Trade Center folks are super nice, and the food was delicious as always...

Nice photo, sorry about all the ice. Looks worse than we had two years ago.

Bill, I really like the late Sun reflections on the ice. I hope your reception went well.

Your ability to capture the subtle nuianances in an intimate landscape always amazes me. No different in this shot Bill. Great contrast between the ice covered limbs and the stately trunk & limbs. Well seen and done!

I really like this Bill. The light is amazing and I'll bet the detail in print is incredible. I try to keep an eye on your prints as they pass through Scott's. Hopefully I'll see this one.

Thanks guys. Hey Ed, your Maroon Bells pano B&W at Scott's is AWESOME! Looks like the work of Ansel himself...you should post it!
