While inspecting a property out in the country, my client took me around to the back of his house and showed me his little backyard retreat. He had fenced a section of the yard to separate it from the rest of the farm, installed a shallow in-ground pool, and put up this quaint wood arbor. I thought it was very artistically done, especially considering he is an auto mechanic.

Notice the car up on cinderblocks. The only thing missing is the pitbull chained in the yard.
Just when you think that reality shows can not get any worse, they put on a show called “Swamp People” on the History Channel. I don’t understand why the History Channel runs reality shows like this instead of shows about, well, gee, maybe some HISTORY???
Its not like we have a shortage of HISTORY.
But this show about swamp people is just chasing a couple of Cajun rednecks around the swam watching them kill things. This is not entertainment, people. This is disgusting butchering of alligators, snapping turtles, catfish and gar fish. It’s not hunting. It’s not sport. It is butchering animals in front of a camera crew. Big deal!
I watched this awful show just once to give it a chance. It is horrible and I doubt that I would ever watch it again unless tied to a chair in a torture chamber and my eyes held open with toothpicks. It won’t get another 1 minute of my time if I can help it and it actually bothers me thatanyone does watch it.
For some reason I have never been exposed to the possibility of taking a class about photography. When I was in school, that was not a subject offered. When I was in college, it was not offered and even if it was I would not have been able to squeeze in a subject that didn’t relate directly to my major anyway.
I would like to take a couple of classes to learn more about cameras and the different settings and effects. Post processing is also something that I would like to learn more about. I think I have a pretty good handle on composition, but I would be interested in learning what is taught as compared to what I have figured out for myself.
A good photography is an artist. I can really appreciate a photograph taken by a skilled photographer and would like to do more of that myself. I often see things that would make a great picture, but don’t have the camera with me or don’t have a sophisticated enough camera to get the effect that I want – like the way sunshine coming through the tree leaves make them glow.
Gotta love Nashville. I don’t think there are many other places in the world where you can see an Alan Jackson concert and an Eric Church concert on a stage set up in the middle of a downtown street. For free.
My friend from the Ski Club, Kendall Sue didn’t believe me. So I took her and my wife last night. It was a great party!
