Wow, time flies, only 12 days of this month a left. The sunrise this morning was 8:28 and the sunset is happening in 40 minutes at 15:45. The day time is 7 hours and 18 minutes long and 51 minutes of it is dusk.
Lets cross our hands and hope for sunny days
What do you think about that? My thought about this is, that the days are still getting shorter until December 21st, YEP! Happy times? NOT! It’s all in your attitude I’ve been told, not true in my opinion, though it does not help if you complain about something you cannot change. Try to have a positive outlook I have been advised…and don’t to complain about this darkness, somebody has to, why not me 🙂
I’m a student of life; I see beauty in nature, people and the world around me, small details and complete view. Without the ability to actualize an idea or concept, art would not exist. My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. I do not limit myself to one medium, style, or concept.
Inspiration and ideas change. My knowledge changes and grows. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension from the past, where I’ve come from and what I’ve learned, as well as a preview of the future, where I’m going.
I do not classify myself as just a photographer, as some might think from looking at my work. I am a sculptor, a painter, a photographer, an artist.
If a viewer stops for just a moment to view and reflect on a photograph, a photo collage or a painting I have created, then I have succeeded in my work.

Yes, why not you??? I miss Kenya’s 12 hour days, but (luckily!!!) have found that I’m at home in light or dark. But, 21 Dec will come, my friend, it is advancing towards us at a steady and guaranteed pace! Hold on!!! A 🙂
Our summers are lovely, filled with light even if not always that warm, November until March are not my favorite time of the year. How long did you live in Kenya?
I was in Kenya for 12 years. It was a vast and tremendous experience, and I enjoyed it immensely. It has left its marks on me, for which I am very grateful. 🙂
For sure, that is an experience that will remain with you forever. Such a different culture
It gets light here around 6am and I drive home in darkness at 5pm. Not too terribly bad but I am ready to drive home without my headlights on!
