Butterflies Are Free, or, View From A Dental Chair

When I say I take my camera everywhere, I mean everywhere, even to the dentist's office.

You have a lot of time of your hands when the hygienist goes to process the digital x-rays. But if those hands are holding a camera...

...you wind up looking at things that may not at first seem worth looking at. Except that the more you look at them the more interesting they get.

It may be the reverse of what happens when you repeat a polysyllabic word over and over. The word turns into nonsense, but the thing before your eyes becomes a picture.

BY THE WAY:

Since you've come this far, I assume you like Plain Sight, so I'd like to invite you to the opening reception for the photography show I'm in now through September 21.

There are five other photographers in the show, all interesting.

The party is Saturday, Aug 9, 5-10 pm at Andy Foster's Gallery 51 at 51 Church Street, Montclair. gallery51.org.

Thank you gift for anyone who mentions Plain Sight.

What I'm showing in the show...

Nine 16x20 pictures on the wall, from "Twisted Golf" and other series, plus more than 130 different 8x10 prints in portfolios on the table, from "Edible Complex," "Vehicular," "Nature Boy" and other series. Many of which first appeared in Plain Sight.
