For Palm Sunday: Inspired by Alyssa Chiarello
No Palms for Palm Sunday, but something to think about during our time of social distancing……..I recently read the Alyssa Chiarello article “5 Photo Books for the Quarantine Life“, as recommended by Jim Grey. Social Distancing does not mean that you never go out unless your goal is to go crazy!
And so I have been inspired by Alyssa to go out and document what life has become under these quarantine conditions. And as she suggests, look back at those photos in a few years and see what is different. I decided to start with photos of my current state of being, AND the often called for Masks…….These are leftover from my days as a geochemist when I was processing rock samples for analysis. Seems like they’ve found a new use.
It is also important to remember that “stay-at-home” does not mean that you lock yourself up at home. It means maintain proper social distancing when you do have to go out. The need to go out includes getting some fresh air at the local parks, or taking a safe ride in the country.

Retrospective: Wyoming Thunderhead
On our Snowy Range Journey we saw this beautiful thunderhead to the east of us. Had to pull off and make the image. And since I had both of my Mamiya-7’s I have Portra 160 and SFX-200:
Inspired By: Nathan McCreery
I finally grasped Film as a Journey at a 2016 B&W Photography Workshop in Condon, Montana with the Photographer’s Formulary Crew, and Nathan McCreery as the instructor. Corrected some lazy mistakes I was making, but learned new things too!. And I was finally convinced to use a spot meter! (Well, OK I still often use the camera meter).
Nathan will be the Artist in Residence , September 2020 at the Big Horn National Forest, Montana………..
Tech Info: Mamiya 6X7, Kodak T-Max 400, film developer Formulary’s FA-1027, exposure (spotmeter) f/22 for 2 seconds.
Check out Craig Sheaks on Film as a Journey that can transform you……And another perspective on the Film Photographic Journey.

My Favorite ‘Road’ in Rocky Mountain National Park. And a favorite spot for making photos:

Frugal Film Project: February 2020
My February Frugal Film shoot started out with an Urban Renewal Theme, but ended up with portraits from my Valentine’s Day Bouquet. The Image above will be posted on the Frugal Film Project Site. The Features image, as shown below are not the same roses and show a slightly different perspective.
Themes proposed for the first two months this year included Texture (January) and Structure (February). I missed texture for the first month because I had already planned my own theme using my fisheye lens. So I invite you now to enjoy the texture of the flower petals and the structure of the roses themselves.
Some of the roses were beginning to fade, so I have started a new series highlighting the Roses as they dry…….and below a little Inner Monet…..somewhat out of focus.
My Gardening Update
The Crocuses have made their appearance and My Gardening Season has begun………
Irises, Daffodils, Tulips and Oriental Poppies are sprouting……….
As I have started working on my 2020 Garden, I’ve remembered to Update my Flowers and Gardening from 2019, Featuring the Mayo Clinic Cactus Garden. And Let’s take a final look back at the Lovely Flanders Poppies from 2019:
This Flander’s Poppy is now hangng on my Family Room Wall.
Retrospective: The Snowy Range, Wyoming
I have posted two earlier episodes, but have never explained what ‘Retrospective’ is about. I have a Photo Diary Blog. It shows what I am out and about doing, camera in hand. There’s a lot posted over there that my followers here will probably never see. So I am pulling out a ‘Best Of’ from that blog and calling it my Retrospective.
Planning a Twitter Film Photographer’s Meet up in south central Wyoming later this summer.
