Family Christmas 2011...

In an impromptu family Christmas we still all got to be together.

happy holidays...

The Weimer-Coppock cards are out for the holiday season. Deck the balls.

of what remains...

Few creations are more beautiful than the skeletal structure of a once living being. A microscopic egg within a mother, hold the blueprint that will become another living creature. She breaks down the foods that she eats into their simplest of molecular structures and sends it via the body's blood to her creation. Molecule by molecule the life is constructed. Once her creation has formed to fit the outside world, it departs. They are then two organisms sustained by the same mouth.
The creation grows and walks its own paths. Eventually, the very same breath of life that was breathed into its growing body will exhale and exit the body. The molecules that the animal had been sustaining for its lively hood will decompose and disperse, eventually making it back to clay of the Earth be it via another animal or directly from its location of exuent omnes. Only for another mother to reconfigure molecules the same and start the cycle again.

Everpoor.com gets a new look! Cheers for the future!

Japanese Gardens...

I find tranquility and being within the arts of Japanese. From ukiyo-e prints to the gardens that surround. Truly masters of ambiance. One of my favorite spots to sit and ponder lies with Portland's Japanese Gardens. A minute's worth picture could never do justice in the representation of the sounds, smells and thoughts that arise as a living place that has been recycling its self for many years. There is so much observe by just watching.

Flashlight Photography...

Had my first go at lighting a still life with a flashlight. Once I get the hang of this I think that very intricately contoured subjects will have dazzling effects. This particular shot was with an RZ67 cropped down to 6x6 with Ilford 50 film and lit with a ten million candle power flashlight.
