As an educator, and an educator about to retire in June, I am confused as to what life will next bring and what I will do with my time that remains on my clock.   I love photographing, love some of my older images that finally are now workable with some of the new changes to Lightroom and other plugins.  Perhaps there are some superstars that I am yet to work on from so many years ago and at least  I will spend some of this time attempting to create art and beauty. 

I will say on this blog of sorts, that I am hopeful that I will be able to travel and take images until I can no longer travel and take images.   The best outlet, at least for me, is being outdoors in nature or in an interesting city or place.  I need to have a view outside of my window that is appealing as well.  I also need to live in a place where peace is more desired than conflict.  

Little things, like standing in a cornfield photographing and then turning to see people going off to Church and young kids looking at me (the "English") with curiosity.  Or maybe I am just channeling my George Tice.   One has to wonder.   

Amish ChildrenI was photographing corn and these folks went by me. I quickly had an image of some George Tice photos and with my camera still on the tripod got one image. Still one of my favorite photographs of all time.
