  • Artistic Vision – A Creative, Critical Thinking Exploration

    I think I mentioned before that I’m a member of an online photography group. It’s one of, if not the best photography investments I’ve ever made. This is my second year and the journey this investment is taking me on has become something of a phenomenon.

    One of the first things I did as a member was take a course titled “Discovering Your Vision,” by Blake Rudis, the founder of the group. I was kind of overwhelmed by some of the course content as I’m not at all familiar with how my brain can help me take better photos. Which has led to the journey I’m on now – discovering my vision.

    A few other f/64 members and I decided to retake the “Discovering Your Vision” course together. We formed a discussion group to help us better understand what this journey entails. Of course this journey of discovery will be quite unique for each of us.

    We’re in our first week of “the journey” and one very important thing I’ve discovered so far is that I better start taming my somewhat cynical attitude towards Artistic Vision. If it is a part of who I am, and if it’s always been there, undiscovered, I want a more personal relationship with it.

  • Sunday Funday?

    I used to write every Sunday over at my website and then email the link to my loyal readers. Doing so has gotten to be a little bit of a pain in the patooty as I have to email the link after writing. Also, folks didn’t have the capability to make direct comments as that feature isn’t available on my website unless I want to upgrade to a more expensive plan. I added a page on my website where folks could make a comment using a simple form and I’d get notified. It should be easy peasy commenting here instead of how you commented using the form on my website.  

     Another thing I used to do was blog right here. I wrote often and included photos. Back then I wrote about gardening mostly as I was a gardening columnust for a local paper. The paper is still published and I’d still be writing my column if not for all the free stuff “out there” these days. But there’s no more weekly gardening articles in that paper, just a seasonal piece compiled from “out there.”

    As implied by the name of my blog, my aim is to write about photogaphy and music. And probalby a bunch of other stuff too, because I have a creative itch that always needs scratched.

  • Starting Over

    I should have kept my Blogger blog from years ago. Learning how to do this all over again at my age is kind of daunting. I’m not up to snuff on being a YouTube creator either. But there’s a weird need I have for doing this creative stuff. There’s two other hobbies besides photography that I’ve been doing much longer than YouTube and making photos: playing guitar and gardening.
    Lots of things then, for me to write/blog about. Why don’t I stop saying “blog?” I’ve never liked the sound nor the look of that word. I’m going to call myself a writer, not a blogger. A writer, a photographer, a musician, and a gardener. Why don’t I combine all four of those and start writing about “wriphomugar?” And if you didn’t know, writers have the authority to make up words.

  • Welcome!

     I used to do this blogging stuff years ago but as the saying goes….life got in the way. 

    However, life has moved to the slow lane and I decided to try this blogging thing again. 

    I will write about and show you things relating to my two main passions: photography and music. If you are interested in either of those two subjects I have a few things I can tell you about each. 

    Welcome to Framing the Sound. I’ll be arranging things and appearances here a bit more to my liking as time progresses.
