Making some changes and consolidating a lot of my Web sites… This site will go away in a bit… Start watching:
While searching around downtown for unique locations, I stumbled upon this spot. This old building is very dark, dreary, run down, collapsed in places, and yet in intrigues me. I love taking photos with beauty placed in what some would call “not so beautiful” locations. I think beauty can be found in a number of places if we choose to look deep enough.
Lorie and I went out for a shoot and wanted to use this location. She wore a long black dress that draped so softly across her body one would question why she would even step inside this place! We took a number of shots, but this shot is the only one that has made it from the camera to the computer and now to the Web.

Well, a friend and I went driving up through Arkansas Saturday afternoon. We went to Mena, AR and visited the Queen Willamena State Park. I believe I have been there as a young child as I remember the little train, but this was really my first memorable experience up there. It was very beautiful and the overlooks were quite impressive. I guess I now know where to go to get my “Arizona mountains fix”… It’s probably as close as I can get in such a short driving distance.
The photo above shows low cloud cover crawling across the highway. We got between 2400 and 2500 feet on this trip and it was very stormy this day. But, we got above the rain and then a majority of the nasty clouds were below us, or as this photo shows, on our level.
Until next time…
Well, as some of you may know, I participated in a “Come to Jesus Meeting” a week or so ago. What an experience!
So, I attended the meeting, heard some things that I know to be true but didn’t think they were that bad. Yes, they need to be dealt with, but are the issues that were brought up a deal breaker? Obviously so! I say “obviously” because the deal with the meeting originator has been broken… But, such is life…
I have been thinking a lot about my thoughts on relationships lately and why I seem to bounce to and fro. I have realized that I currently have a lot of fears when it comes to relationships. These fears cause me to have doubts about the person I am engaged in the relationship with. Fear causes me to not be able to commit for any “relationship industry standard” length of time. I seem to run from the relationship when it gets too rough… I always tell myself “Well, you weren’t married to this person so there’s really no harm in you leaving the relationship” and “There’s more fish in the sea”… Which, there may not be and I also realize that I have passed up and messed up a lot of situations that probably would have been very rewarding if I had stayed… But, I can’t live in the past now, can I?!
Now that I am finally putting a finger on some specifics in my life and the way I perceive things, I hope that I can target those areas and make some much needed changes. During this process, I will be stretched a lot and have to not let things eat at me so bad. I’ll have a lot of things I will need to let go of… A lot of fears, worries, stresses, and frustrations that I will have to put behind me and just take life as it comes…
Until next time…
