Smokin’ Joe’s Roadhouse, gone
The Rhythm Room, gone
Mean Gene Kelton, gone
gone, yes, but not forgotten —
the blues will never die.

Montgomery County Friends of the Blues, 2002 Fund Raiser — Image by kenne
Fundraiser at Tut’s
Friends of the blues are partying
In downtown Conroe.
Plenty of whiskey
As a chaser for the blues
With AJ and the gang.
Looking back in time
Blues is a mighty long road
One with twists and turns.
Dylan’s Heaven’s Door
Covered by Blues and Rock bands
Now a whiskey brand.
My dream has come true
A perfect combination
Whiskey and the Blues.
Showcasing Dylan’s
Black Buffalo iron gates
Cover each bottle.

One Of My Early Black And White Photographs 2 comments
“A Rainy Evening” (Normal, Illinois) — Image by kenne
Photography in the 20th Century
was all about film photography
Ektachrome was my choice,
however, occasionally I shot in B&W.
“A Rainy Evening” is a B&W
photo taken in 1974, by
definition a vintage image
having been captured before 1980.
I rarely used B&W film
with my first SLR camera,
a Canon FTb QL that I still have.
“A Rainy Evening,” is a print
recently rediscovered,
by Mary Ann, inspired
by the lighting and
reflections of the moment.
I have no idea of the settings,
but it is reasonable to say
a very slow shutter speed with
a fairly low f-stop.
I’m not sure anybody cares
just one of many photo
projects taking me
to where I am today.

I Stare At Shadows 2 comments
“I Stare At Shadows” — Image by kenne
I stare at shadows,
looking for answers
in deep caverns
of my soul,
only to see them
blurred by others
as water
in the stream
of life
rushes by.

Wall Shadows
A break with the sun
Not complete, only partial
A heat compromise.

Watching Time Go By 2 comments
“Watching Time Go By” (Nicaragua, 2007) — Image by kenne
Muddy rut-carved roads
in the Nicaraguan mountains
we reach a village in a 4X4
where women and children
wait out the day, men having
left before daylight in
backs of pickup trucks.
A young woman stands
in the open doorway
I try not to see her as
an object to be photographed
for my travel photo journal,
instead to capture a story
to be told by the viewer.
