Overwhelming amount of art to post

I have recently started taking photo images again. I started my career in photography, back then we were talking about film, with expensive results and more preparation for each photo. I went on to study other subjects and kept photography as a hobby. The cost became to high and eventually dwindled to few pictures here and there. Then the digital age came out, what an overwhelming amount of options. As time went on it was impossible to keep up with all the changes so I stuck to one style, I bought what was one of the best cameras in it's time and stuck to doing one thing well. I've never been a multiple shot kind of guy and take my pictures still to this day, one frame at a time one subject at a time and adjust my shutter and aperture as needed for each shot, thank goodness for autofocus in most cases. I manually adjust focus in still shots, to get exactly what I want to capture. Once upon a time it would have cost a little over $450.00 dollars to view my images for an event, todays cost, well nothing really, had to buy a computer and that's a whole other subject...lol

I have returned to what I've always loved best. My creative juices are flowing but someone is going to have to open the flood gates soon because I'm at my mental capacity and fear I will stop photography again due to being depressed over not being able to keep up with my brain and ideas. They are taking on a life of there own; as I'm blogging I'm thinking about what, where, when and how I'm going to present my next picture...it actually interferes with everything and I'm unable to shut it off. I used to have a mild case of OCD I also had a severe case of ADD, I still do and I'm struggling. It makes me sad that I can't focus on what my kids are saying or what my wife is doing to help me with my tasks. I know why I had asked my Mom "what?" every time she spoke to me. I heard her, I just couldn't process it. As an adult I have to physically and mentally prepare myself for when someone speaks to me, unless I'm already involved I can't just switch tasks....

Is this a good thing, well it's what makes me the best at everything I do. One thing at a time.

Thank you Laura for your support and patience, I love you more than you understand.

Pocket bike or Pit bike, to be or not to be

I don't know anything about pocket bike or pit bikes, I know I keep tellling my kids they can't have either, I'm I out of my mind or is it not a dangerous thing? I ride my kids KTM 50cc and sometimes his 65sx and I'll tell you I've come close to breaking my neck on both. Maybe cause I'm 6'3", maybe cause I'm 250 lbs., certainly not cause I can't ride. I have 32 years under my belt in motocross racing. I had a little accident in a practice with my Kawasaki KX 250 smashing my face into the handlebars that provoked an episode of vertigo that lasted 17 months, oops.

Motocross Racing for the kids

MUD my life

Today is a bad day to go racing cause it's raining so much, with water puddles everywhere it can be wet and cold and hard to hold on to the bike, making it a little dangerous. However if you can stay out of the water and keep focused it is a great way to practise keeping control of the bike and steering in the slippery mud. It's exhausting but gives you a great cardio workout, at the same time it tones your body fast. Wet gear = heavy gear which in turn requires more effort all around. We will sleep good tonight...lol

Thoughts for thinkers

People spend hours on end racking their brains to come up with something funny or meaningful to post on FB, I can't get mine to stop. Day in day out, in my sleep. It's annoying. I'm annoyed with me.

What an Ugly Day

Even the tulips in the garden are shedding tears, I thought today would have been a nice to go out with the kids an enjoy the beautiful smell of mixed fuel and dirt. But no, it pouring rain and we are all home doing our own thing, everyone annoyed at the other. The sun is shining bright on the inside, yay!

It's to wet out so I took a picture of the garden from inside the house from a 1/4 mile away, we didn't want the garden to close to the house, to much joy with our six kids, it would have been happiness overload.

It's a quick day to day story about my life behind the lens and on Facebook. I've always had a good sense of humour and most of my friends have told me I should have been a comedian and an actor. The cards were dealt and here I am. I hope to bring joy and anger into your life. If nothing I say makes you laugh or sets a fire under your ash well then A: You're dead B: I'm dead... and that is sadness and we will have none of that here.

I will be filling your time with information on things I like and dislike, pictures of people things and places that surround me, Things people stare at, right in front of their nose but never really take the time to capture it.

"Put all the idiots in a room and let nature do the rest" Ok, what idiot wouldn't notice his idiot friend and a bunch of idiots being idiots in a room and think to himself: oh I belong here, all my soulmates in one place. CLICK! Who's the idiot who thought up that joke?

See you soon
