Prosperity

















































This polaroid seems like a fitting one for the times we are living in. Prosperity, think about that word for a while. What defines Prosperity for you?

American Smile






































We will never forget what happen on that day, I am happy we can turn the page with a smile.  I hope you enjoy your weekend America.  I"ll leave you with a quote from one of our founding  fathers.


"If we desire to insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War."


-George Washington, 
 December 1793

Mask






































Never been posted as a single image but part of a Polaroid Collage posted on 1.28.2008. Got a few more poalroids, just have to find the time to scan them in for ya.  I"ll have another one for you by the end of the week. Where would photography be without Polaroid?  Ponder that question while your taking your digital images and layering  little cutesy masks on them to make it look like they just fell from the southside of heaven. I'm sorry, where I come from people don't glow neon gumbo and their hair is not as soft as those flowered sheets waving in the wind out back at grandma Mildred's house.  But hey we all put them on but sometimes we have others put them on for us....

Flavor


Sorry for missing Thursday's blog post I was a bit under the weather.  I blame it on Tombstone's frozen pizza.  Man it put a hurting on me but all is well. Sorry Tombstone you will not be allowed in this house no mo! On to the world of Polaroid.  This Polaroid Collage was actually made in 2010. You can't hear me but I'm clapping right now.  The scanner just doesn't show all the color in this one but hey got to make due with what I got.  Enjoy the Flavor and remember Rapidview has more Polaroid Flavors than Tombstone pizza could ever have...now that is saying something

Beyond The Gate

It has been a challenge for me to post lately. Just look at my archive and you will see a steady decline. Often I wonder if there has been a decline in my work also?  Maybe this is because I'm finding it harder and harder to find time to create.  Part of that is because I'm riddled with A.D.D just ask my wife she will tell you.  No telling how many Polaroid collages I have made but the simple question is.  Do you see a progression or recession? Every artist wants to know if he/she is moving forward.  I hope my timeline doesn't reflect today's congress that is for sure!  There are ups and downs with every artist but I'm learning to cherish and be thankful for the times that I do get to create and also realizing that it doesn't always have to be about Art.....Creating can be about lasting relationships with others, bringing joy to someone that doesn't expect you to, making a dinner for your family. Bottom line we all create something not because we want to but because WE HAVE to.....

beauty breathe




Well we are back and I almost forgotten how to blog.  That is beside the point.  I'll try to blog new works as best I can.  Lots of stuff to share with you guys.  So much has been going on since my last post, don't really know where to start.  We will just start with this Polaroid made last year(2009).  Everybody needs to breathe a little beauty, the only problem is we all have chains that weigh us down.  Lets be thankful for the things we do have and the things that bring us together.  And let us break the chains so our beauty can breathe.......

Selling Products

Today the DOW is down another 388 points. The problem has been going on for sometime. The heart of the problem is GREED. Last week will go down in history. Where it ends and how it ends no one knows. How did we get so far away from our core values here in America? Values that made America great, values that made people travel around the world just to live in this great Nation. You think Change is what we need in Washington? We need to get back to the VALUES that made this country great. You can find them on a piece of paper called the Constitution...........

Pain Advances


Polaroid Collage created on August 20, 2008.

Do you think Pain advances mankind? I would have to say it does. Both good and bad. Think about the lost of a love one. And the pain you go through when they are no longer around. That pain makes you stronger, makes you appreciate the time and lessons that you learned from that loved one! Its something we all go through with a number of situations. It changes our outlook on life and on society. This world, this America would not be the same without Pain. Nor am I...........

How many of you guys like Ben Stein? I just read an article by him published by the New York Times. I would love to post the article on my blog, but afraid I might get sued by NYT. Anyway, its about how we are getting chained to the devices and technology of our times. And how its making us un-connected with ourselves and with others.... A really great article. Worth you time reading.............. Connected,Yes, but Hermetically Sealed

Falling

Well, its set let the general-election begin. Why does it feel like this election will go on forever? Maybe because it has gone on forever! Buckle up because its going to be a Wild one. Something tells me we will be seeing a lot of the Good, Bad And The Ugly. Sorry thats not fair to compare this election to such a Great Movie. America your telling me that this is the best you can offer? That these two candidate will lead the free world in the right direction. Something is just not right, and I can't put my hand on it. America is falling and the bottom is no where in site.........
