JSP Visual Week In Review ~ 01.28.23
This….was a rough week.
A challenging week a work.
A tough week on the personal side.
A week where I had insomnia twice – even being up ALL night one of the days.
Just felt off all week.
Not creative.
Didn’t work out much. Didn’t walk much.
Didn’t make many photos.
Unfocused.
This now outgoing weekend helped.
Spent time with my kids, my dogs and my mom (Both Mom and Bojangles celebrated birthdays this week. Yay!)
What can I do?
I can start fresh on Monday.
Look forward.
Go forward.
Recommit.
Because the sun may rise on a new day, and it’s best to get after it.
Then again, it may not.

JSP Visual Week In Review ~ 01.21.23
What’s your passion?
What’s you’re creative passion?
Photography? Art? Writing? Film?
A person?
What. Is. It??
What do you give your passion to?
Do you have a thing?
Do you have a person?
What’s life without passion?
Or someone to share it with…

Homage To Jay
An Homage to Jay Maisel
On my walk this morning, the light was hitting differently.
January light. Only comes once a year.
As I trudged across an open football field, my boots wet with dew, the latest Shifter podcast in my ears, I came upon a storage bin.
One of those big…ah…not sure what they are really called.
But it’s painted a red/orange and I had the sun behind me.
Some athletic bars were nearby, casting a shadow on me.
I loved the light and the color and the shadows.
Snapped a pic with my phone.
Continued on my walk.
When I got home, I realized to day as Jay Maisel’s birthday.
That time I was at Jay’s door…around 2000
The master of shadow and light and color.
This doesn’t match up to his, of course.
But the influence. It’s there.
In case you don’t know who Jay Maisel is….click here.
Light. Color. Shadow.
What else is there?

Murmurs: To Search and Never Rest
So it seems, our destinyTo search and never restTo ride that ever changing waveThat never seems to crest
~ Bob Seger, No Man’s Land
Another New Jersey January evening.
Not cold enough to snow.
But threatening clouds, challenging with rain.
A nearly-empty country road.
Headlights on the way.
Big drops start to fall.
Seger on the radio.
The winter that is still in middle, murmuring.
