off for a family drive
marie is now ordering "take out"....why?? because i am not on a "road trip"....i am at home....hanging ..... ordering "take out", or rather my studio manager marie is.....we are working on this blog, planning a workshop, talking about relationships (this is mostly what we talk about!!)
and we are working on a potential new book...this is a secret now, but not for long!! not really a secret, but i hate talk about something before it happens...bad luck...my old mantra is "until my mother has a copy on her coffee table, it does not exist".....i have seen too many things go away just when i thought they were "in the bag"....nothing is in the bag until it is in the bag.....so more on the book later...when is really really real....
plus, we are trying to figure out exactly how to modify, change, fix, update, manipulate, and flat out improve this blog!! i mean, i am a print guy trying to move around in an online world.....no clues amigos, no clues...my assistants here keep telling me, "this is a blog not a magazine or a book"....so i am trying to learn...and i am trying to teach them a few things too.....that is why they are here because i pay very little money!! so i listen to my young friends and they listen to me.....so perfectly symbiotic....
so, you will see some changes soon......a few little design things.....maybe three blogs instead of four.....stuff like that.....and, oh yes, adding a video page, a gallery, and an upcoming events page...
this is not the first time i have been an editor....when i was a kid i was editor of the family newspaper "the harvey herald", circulation 2......i was also the family photographer.......i will show some of those pictures at some point.....
oh well, here is one now.....my ultimate ultimate "road trip" picture.....from my family album....13 years old.....sunday afternoon after church, ohio, 1957 ford wagon blue and white and mom and dad, and my sister patricia (brother gary already in car)....my hand written caption "off for a family drive"......one frame......i never became a better photographer than this....
