ViewBug and Tristan Quevilly

In March of this year I found ViewBug – “a creative community with the world’s best photo contests.”

It was a love from the first sight. I joined it and it gives me an opportunity to relax a bit during very difficult time in my life (my wife is very seriously ill).

In every creative community you meet interesting people. I made many friends with extremely talented and very good people on…

Mother Earth

It’s cold and raining in New York today.

However, it’s so pleasant to remember that our planet always have terrific warm places.

Just imagine that you are in one of them!

Monster

My surprises come usually once I start rolling and photographing.

One day it was raining hard in Hollywood (Florida). As the result there was a lot

of water on the floor of the loggia of our apartment.

Raindrops continued to drop on the water in the loggia and it looked to me as a

new organism was born there.

I took my camera, zoomed it on water on the floor and took a shot. Then I…

Security?!

It is wonderful that children who are loved play and don’t think about security.

The world is too dangerous today!

Circles

On 1/20/2017 I found on LEARN FUN FACTS and enjoyed the post

https://learnfunfacts.com/2017/01/20/thinking-about-circles/

The post with many quotes about circles inspired me to create a simple painting below.

I hope that you’ll like it.

We think of our lives as straight or not so straight roads but I believe that we often follow circles and our happiness and all emotions depend on their colors.

Somebody was watching me

Somebody was watching me

I was walking from the Pocono Manor Inn to the Carriage House.

The road was empty but all of a sudden I got a feeling that somebody was watching me.

I stopped, took my tiny camera from a pocket, prepared to take a shot and slowly started to turn.

Then I saw him. He stayed quietly until I made a photo. Then both of us went to our destinations. I was delighted. Hopefully, he liked our meeting too.

Against the Odds

I met somebody last spring and was so inspired that against all odds I created the unforgettable picture below.

Sorry, it is not a photo but I hope that you’ll be impressed by this extraordinary haircut and the depth of my imagination.

Marriage

FIVE SENTENCE FICTION I had a terrible allergy and she was sitting at my bed. Tears were streaming down my cheeks when she sweetly asked: “Why don’t we marry?” I loudly sneezed five times in a row. “Darling, you made a very wise decision!” In June we celebrated 57 years of matriarchy.

My daughter asked...

My daughter asked…

About 17 years ago my daughter called: “Father, Alex’s company sends him to Philadelphia for seven days. I’d like to go with him. Would you agree to stay with Michael?” I was already retired at that time and Michael was 3 months old. I could not believe that my highly educated daughter (Price University) asked me such stupid question. Who would refuse to stay a week with an angel? Would you? A…
