More Fun with the iPhone Camera

Dear Friends,

Here's another quick shot w/fx from the iPhone4 and PictureMagic. It took about three shots with HDR and five seconds of processing. All together, about two minutes work to get this photo that is remarkable primarily in the ease of its capture and treatment.

A Fine Little Ditty…

 Dear Friends,

Here we have a competent rendition of a perennial favorite of every boy and girl, as performed by the good ol', dang mighty Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers of days lo many years ago.

iPhone Phun…

Dear Friends,

The following are some images taken with the dinky 5Mp iPhone camera, mucked about a bit on the fly with a free app called PictureMagic. The art on the old grocery's wall is not mine, but graciously left by some teenager with a couple of cans of spray paint. He was, no doubt, happily up well past his curfew on a recent summer's night.

Sometimes a Great Notion…

Dear Friends,

Remember the Future. Your life is a movie… your movie. This little, flaky film documents The Band of Merry Pranksters in their search of a cool place in 1964.

I Remain Yours in The Quest,

Lao Tzu Would Not Tell Me What to Do…

Tao ~


The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao;
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.
The named is the mother of ten thousand things.
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery.
Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations.
These two spring from the same source but differ in name;
this appears as darkness.
Darkness within darkness.The gate to all mystery


Laozi (Lao Tzu) in Tao Te Ching

Dear Friends,

Here's a little photographic doodle. An accidental snapshot of an alien visitor? A shadow made out of light?

Common Sense…

Dear Friends,

Ahmed Moor commentating on Al Jazeera Online offers this precise and common sense analysis regarding what yesterday's horror reveals about the real war that Humanity should be fighting. Faced with our own inhumanity, we must become more human.

I Remain Yours in Hope,
