A Texas Hill Country Throwback (06/21/02) — Image by kenne
In this time of the pandemic
we spend a lot of time
thinking about getting away.
But where to go and stay safe.
The safest way to travel now
is through my many photos.
Till COVI-19 decides to leave town,
we will travel in captured moments
before we will be getting away.

Art In The Canyon (Sabino Canyon) — Image by kenne
She rides the shuttle to Stop 8
Stepping off with her equipment
Setting up near the creekside
People relax in the spring sun
A perfect setting for the artists
One with a brush, one with a camera.

Twenty-Year-Old B&W Photo — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Twenty-year-old B&W photo
Our smiles tell the story
We were both in our 50s
Wiser now in our 70s
Living each day knowing not
What tomorrow may bring
Not living the stories of the past
Living each moment holding hands
Throughout all these rumbling years
Time has brought about changes
Still, our love for each other
And our smiles remains the same

gone
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.

“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” — 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.

Not complete, only partial
A heat compromise.

“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.

Bug Springs Trail Landscape — Black & White Image by kenne
Silent knowledge —
the spirit is enlightened of itself.
Contemplate the void:
this world exceeds stillness.

Windswept Grasslands in the Santa Catalina Mountains — Image by kenne
Taking inspiration from the likes of Lewis Carroll, Robert Frost and Carl Sandburg.
Branches reach into the dark sky
over windswept grasslands,
directing our eyes and ears
to the relationship between
the living and the dead.

In photography, there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.
