Just Cause

on By

It is not enough
To live in the sky
Through endless thoughts
Of how and why

I feel my sanity slip under the weight of nature’s cosmic complexity. There is simply too much paint to deal with. Muscles twitch in old memories, screaming awake from the dead.
Dive into the pool above my head. Twist and make translucent the fraud of reality. Failure after abominating failure. It is madness. Sheer, unadulterated, completely freeing madness.

Smear and punctuate.

Big Skies and Temporary Insanity

Again I find myself
In the throes of creating
Embracing insanity
A momentary freedom

There has been a tug to delve back into nut-job photography. Casting off all inclinations of truth and simply work with available colors, tones and shapes to make something “different.” Perhaps selfishly different, or just a thing that taps into fictional story telling.
Photographer Alessandra Chaves posted her reasons for hanging on to her Nikon D750. She nails it. https://alessandrachaves.com/2025/03/28/why-i-have-not-replaced-my-nikon-d750-yet/.
I would also add that Nikon realized the power behind digital photography. Their internal software allows for multiple exposures for up to ten frames. It also will average the exposures so that it does not blow out if done correctly.
Brilliant and powerful.
Imagine stacking images in-camera using long and fast shutters along with different focal lengths.
It had been awhile. I had to get reacquainted with the 750. It is a bit clunky and simple. That is its charm.
Unlike the Z mounts, it renders a RAW final output.
Brilliant.
This old addiction. Wants me again.
