CUP OF ROSES

Part of the Story of My Life is that I like

Photography as an art form. Years ago 

I attended a photographic art exhibit in Poland,

somewhere near Warsaw -- and I promise to

refresh my memory, so I can remember

the name of the town. -- One of the exhibiting

artists was a young man, whose

photographs stirred the audience; there was

a talk about him and his dried roses

 -- they were unusually beautiful.

My friend and I approached the artist

and exchanged a few words with him.

And that was that.

Except, that 34 years later I still remember

those photographs of dried roses.

STORMY FLORIDA SKY AND MYRTLE BLOSSOMS

Yesterday was July 15, 2010, and the Myrtle blossoms

looked impressively luminous against the dark, stormy sky.

MAGIC

As a teen photographer I wanted to perform a magic trick

using my montage skills, and this is a detail of my art.

As a magician, I 've been performing for many audiences,

and after more than thirty years of practice, I can tell you

that nothing can beat Dreams.  Athough Apparitions can

be very strong and puzzling too, they often can be

explained with an image that the camera produces;

But as far as the Dream goes, especially the Vivid

Dream, no magic trick can translate it. Nothing can.

Period.
