Kinkakuji:

The Golden Pavilion, or Kinkaku, is a three-story building on the grounds of the Rokuon-ji temple complex. The top two stories of the pavilion are covered with pure gold leaf. The pavilion functions as a shariden, housing relics of the Buddha (Buddha’s Ashes). The top floor is built in traditional Chinese cha’an style, also known as zenshu-butsuden-zukuri; and the middle floor in the style of warrior aristocrats, or buke-zukuri. The ground floor is rendered in shinden-zukuri style, reminiscent of the residential style of the Heian imperial aristocracy. The building is often linked or contrasted with Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion Temple), and Shōkoku-ji, which are also located in Kyoto.

The Golden Pavilion is set in a magnificent Japanese strolling garden (kaiyū-shiki). The pond in front of it is called Kyōko-chi (Mirror Pond). There are many islands and stones on the pond that represent the Buddhist creation story.[citation needed]

This is the Astoria-Megler Bridge in Astoria. The night we drove down to deliver my show for hanging at Lightbox, we of course stuck around for dusk. When I was a “young” photographer I was taught that the magic hours at the beginning and end of the day were everything. To wait for that light and worship it, to not bother with any other light but magic hour light. Now they are often distant thoughts, not because I don’t still enjoy a great sunrise or sunset (definitely more sunsets than sunrises mind you), but because I have learned to pay more attention to all the other hours of the day. I joked once with a photographer friend that I was going to put together a book all of photography I have done during the middle of the day under harsh light. I may, I may not, I have a lot of other ideas on the same burner.

But I think twilight and dusk have settled in as my favorite light. It is soothing, meditative, and reliable. Just right for me, especially at the end of a hectic day, such as that day, or this one.

And of course, I always enjoy a good bridge.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY !!!

Five years old bringin comedy.
Everytime I look at you I think man a little me, just like me.
If the world attacks and you slide off track,
you can cry isn’t shame in it.
Remember one fact I got your back.

I hear the cyrstal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew

Just the two of us
Building them’ castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I

Just two of us by Will Smith & Bill Withers.

( thank you Tess for saving the screen shot for me and thank you all my friends for your wonderful visit and support. )

Not another techno power…:

One of the best things about working at the fair besides the really expensive food is walking around and taking photos, but what’s not fun is carrying around all my camera equipment. So I come to work without a tripod. Tonight I got off work early, so I got a chance to walk around more than usual. Seemed like it was photographers night? Too bad I didn’t bring my tripod, so I had to use the floor again for my typical techno power fisheye capture. Hope you like it, I thought the lines and colors were a tad different. .

Sorry for not getting back to a lot of you, but its been a while since I worked normal hours..

I love the elegant old wooden barns of the midwest. They are fast disappearing.
