Tucson Folk Festival (2013) — Photo-artistry by kenne

The bride kiss’d the goblet: the knight took it up,

He quaff’d off the wine, and he threw down the cup.

She look’d down to blush, and she look’d up to sigh,

With a smile on her lips and a tear in her eye.

He took her soft hand, ere her mother could bar,—

“Now tread we a measure!” said young Lochinvar.

— from Lochinvar by Sir Walter Scott

This Is Us In Chamoisee Glaze

There is, it seems to us,

A best, only a limited value
In the knowledge derived from experience.
The knowledge imposes a pattern, and falsifies,
For the pattern is new in every moment
And every moment is a new and shocking
Valuation of all we have been.

— from Four Quartets by T. S. Eliot

‘Now That I Have Your Attention’ — Norman Rockwell-style Image by kenne

Norman Rockwell’s style was an exaggerated realism–real-looking people and situations but with a hint of caricature.

I’ll never have enough time to capture all the images I’d like to.

My Love Walks In Beauty   Leave a comment

Photo-artistry by kenne

She Walks In Beauty

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow’d to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair’d the nameless
 grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

— Lord Byron

Search For The Realness   Leave a comment

In The Moment — Photo-artistry by kenne

I search for the realness,

the real feeling of a subject,

all the texture around it…

I always want to see

the third dimension of something…

I want to come alive with the object.

— Andrew Wyeth

Topless Blues At Drifters — Photo-artistry by kenne

I am a drifter, and as lonely as that can be, it is also remarkably freeing.

I will never define myself in terms of anyone else.
