Writings
- For me, writing is not natural. Like using my left
hand for drawing. It take s me forever, and when finished,
it is sloppy. However, weaknesses shouldn't be hidden,
they should be refined. So I make an attempt at writing
when I feel inspired..
Why I draw - Drawing
and painting is easier for me than writing. Art is where
my creativity runs free. Art is an expession of my being that I
would not try to put into words. Art is in me. Sometimes, it has to be let out
for therapeutic reasons, and other times for megalomaniacal reasons.
When I was younger, I did all
non-digital artwork (oil paint, sketchings, and pastels),
but now I do more artwork on the computer. Being busier (or lazier),
digital artwork
is easier for the web and there's never any clean-up involved.

Outdoors
- Wildlife, animals, and camping |
 |
|
I
love camping, and being outdoors. When I walk among
trees, touch the green leaves, or look at an open field,
I feel more alive. The outdoors gives me a sense of
what it was like living in the past. A time with no
buildings around, in the wild, and surviving in the
wild.
Conserve when possible. This
is easy. Recycle those plastics and glass. Put cigarette
butts and trash into the ash tray, not out your car
window. Ride with a friend. Turn off the water while
you brush your teeth. Use less electricity. And many
more ways. Some of these things not only help the environment,
but also the budget. Care for nature, and you (and others)
will be taken care of by the consequences.
“In
wilderness is the preservation of life.”
- Henry David Thoreau

| Photography
- Tips, digital effects, and collages |

Photographs
are like quick paintings. Seeing the shot takes vision
and intuition. Choosing the proper camera settings
takes experience and knowledge. Telling the story
behind the photo takes creativity.
Editing the photos on the computer
takes it to a whole new level. I do not think it is
cheating by using digital effects on the computer because
the photo had to look good from the beginning.
I still use the film type camera.
Prices for memory sticks are still too high, so don't
own a digital camera. Someday I hope to get a digital
camcorder that can take digital stills.

Good writings
Quotes and other musings. |
Hard head - by David Regal |
|
Always
looking for new insights to life, I like talking to
people with different backgrounds and try to broaden
my selection of reading to different genres.
These are not my writings. They were
collected from email forwards, web surfing sessions,
magazines, books, and other places. When possible, I
give credit to the source of the writing or quote.
Love
Encouragement
