It will be a snowy month on the blog - finally had a nice snowfall and went out photographing. I am also continuing re-visiting 2010 the year before i started my blog.
The first slideshow in the same vein - one fence from the Covid years
and I even did a snow themed collage book
The blog will show photographs of our recent trip to Fort Lauderdale plus my revisiting of March 2010
One slideshow I am planning in Flora in Paris, but I am finding it hard to predict which shows I will make.
For my monthly PDF book I am going back to an early project where I was using my old Esquire magazines..
I am presently trying to catch up rather than create new work (but it is always more fun to do new than revisit the old)
I haven’t been taking that many pictures lately so on the blog I have decided to mine my 2010 photos - the year before I started my daily blog - what I looked like in 2010
When we are at our three season cottage I often go on a photo walk to the highway - I will make a few collections for my one minute slideshows that I post on Flickr (hopefully)
and in honour of the Henry Moore / Georgia O’Keeffe show at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts I will upload a book of my collages that used Georgia O’Keeffe’s images as backgrounds for shoes from the Metropolitan Museum’s collection.
BLOG Not sure how it will be affected by my scanning of my family’s old albums that I am scanning - I hadn’t seen in thirty years it seems - but not too many pictures - one of the few when I had long hair.
Usually I have some done already and can predict the monthly topic - may stick with our Patagonia Holiday from years past
I updated my links to publications pdf and added five books that I had done lately. I plan to upload short projects on a more frequent basis in the new year
on the blog I expect to continue with photos from Portugal and then it will be back home most likely with some winter scenes
I will be having architecture as my theme for the slideshows for the month
for a book project I am trying to be very optimistic so that on December 31st I will upload the pdf version of the year’s blog posts
The blog will concentrate mostly on our recent trip to Portugal where we learnt that during the dictatorship one could only talk of the three Fs - Football, Fado and pictured above Fatima.
The slideshows theme will be people (or maybe some shadows as well)
I always am optimistic in posting a collage book during the month - game plan now is to upload shorter ones
Most likely the blog will all be about local happenings and colour at the cottage
Slideshows will have a nature theme
I am working on compiling all my homage blog posts over the years into a book - here I was giving tribute to Caspar David Friedrich
On the blog I will share some Paris photos that for some reason never got into my Lightroom catalog
for my weekly slideshows I am going through my catalog for topics that I have enough images to create a show
My book project is where I tamed Nature’s Chaos by placing beautiful fashion models into the surroundings
The idea for a set of posts was looking through all my draft posts over the years and editing them to post
The slideshows will concentrate on my photos of other people’s art
The book project is many annunciations being joined to a book about one
We have started going back to the cottage and expect the blog to be mostly about that
for my slideshows I am revisiting our trip to Argentina - funny image here of our VRBO
on the book front I plan to upload some of my works where I used Linda Rutenberg’s photography books as a base for my collages
You can find all these books on the page “links to publications” and don’t forget I still am updating Das Kleine Museum every week with seven more pages
on the blog we went downtown to view an art exhibit and then walked around and I took some photos as well
Think I am finally getting back on track with my slideshows
also hoping to get back on track with my PDF books - much less work than the slideshows just keep forgetting to upload
The blog posts will have a number of images from a family visit to the Chutes de Plaissance
Excited that I finally have started posting a slideshow on Flickr again
and I did post a new pdf book on my Adobe Publish on-line site as well as doing my weekly updates to Das Kleine Museum
The blog will be focusing mostly on our recent trip to Toronto
I need to use a different software for my slide shows and I am taking my time to learn it - but it hasn’t stopped me from making collections for potential shows - eager to res\tart posting weekly this month.
I have been scanning a lot of my older projects these last few weeks and will post one or more on my links to publications page - the project shown here was where I added an image of a horse from one of the artbooks I had and combined them into An English Forest
On the blog I will finally write about our travels - to Curacao and then to my nephew and family in Fort Lauderdale
Definitely weird that I finished the redoing of my first 500 one minute slideshows - will start creating new ones to post in March but more likely back to the weekly format in April
I found yet another copy of this book devoted to one artwork of the Annunciation - I previously uploaded the fifth version that used Costes magazine to be paired with it, but since then I fill the books with other Annunciation works. I hope to finish the fourth one created in this manner and will upload one to Adobe publications which you can find under the tab links to publications.
My wife and the grandchildren watching Joyce Wieland’s film about rats escaping the US to Canada at the National Gallery- we babysat for the week and it was my opportunity to take photos - so my daily blog will be mostly about this and perhaps back to updating my web site.
Not exactly sure what I will do on my blog, but do believe I will explain my website on it this month
Almost at the end of my revamping of my first 500 slideshows on Flickr - this month will have still lifes, locations and things. I do guarantee that they are better than they sound here.
and this month I plan to finish my 2022 blog into its own pdf (last month had 2021 so it is faster this year)
Starting the month at this sale
not sure exactly what will be on the blog - but we are the Holiday season
The months slideshows will be nature, travel and a hodge podge as I begin to approach the end of my redoing of my first 500 one minute slideshows..
My book this month will be the blog in pdf book form - but 2021 not yet 2022
Busy Month Coming - First I have a work on display at the Art Rentals and will there for the vernissage
add later in the month I have my annual booth at the Montreal West Christmas Fair
My blog will start off with some pictures I took on an LCC field trip to Chinatown
My Flickr slideshows will include a week of eyes and other week’s will be Side by side, transportation and then object series first in portrait then in landscape.
and my collage pdf book will be how I filled this Photo album
Not sure what will be on the blog - getting ready for November shows - or will I take a lot of photos of our next grandchild (picture is of us as proud parents of our first born)
On the slideshow front I have scheduled them all until I am finished which should end sometime in the new year. The weekly themes this month will be architecture, patterns, square crops and Time is Money. My last architecture shot taken (too new for a slideshow)
With my new scanner, the new season of virtual camera club and NFL football I think it will be time to catch up on all my unscanned collage projects. This image is one from the series of triplets from 1970s Seventeen magazine placed on two page spreads from a book on volcanoes
SEPTEMBER UPDATE
The blog is expected to be more images from the cottage and any other ideas I can come up with
The month’s updated slideshows will have a lot of object s - don’t have enough cardboard containers yet but maybe one day
With the problems with my cameras and being away from my computer a lot I am working on creating collages - all new projects as I let the older ones stay in limbo.
It is our 50th anniversary high school reunion this month so I expect to take some pictures but I still expect the blog to be primarily images from our cottage and maybe some other interesting things I come across in the city.
This is new building (but it was changed the year after we graduated)
In the slideshows this month the game plan is to go around the world with a week of locations, then interesting text collections, patterns and closeups and ending with a series of slideshows that highlight one object.
My photo project for the month is to try to match all the images in a book I found at the thrift shop “Das Kleine Museum” and eventually print and glue on the left hand side. I will need to add the text to the bottom of my image before printing. Here is one of my first pairings.
