The Blue Spruce Comes Down

Lightening struck the Blue Spruce out front ... this is how it looked first thing the next morning ...

The solution? Gus, the tree guy, from Carlisle, on deck at 8 am ...

He brought the old beaut down within an hour ... amazing, considering how long it has stood sentry on the edge of the lake. We figured it was near 70 to 100 years old ... maybe a bit older ...

Gone. Finito. End of an era.

Gus & The Blue Spruce

... Gus, as seen thru my studio window ... By this point, he'd cut off 4/5ths of the limbs. He wouldn't go up higher on account of the 'lightening tear' in the tree (visible in this photo...). Down he came.

'End of an Era: Gus & The Blue Spruce'

This is a LARGE oil painting - 7 feet square.
Done in my signature 'naive surreal folk abstract' style.
It is 'For Sale', as is, unframed, on loose canvas.
It would be GREAT as wall hanging.

Canadada Pinhole Photography - An Overview

My preferred hand-made camera is a 'converted' Kodiak Boot box.
A selection of other 'pinhole' cameras is visible to the left. I make about 3 new cameras per annum. Shooting only with natural sunlight I use light-sensitive black & white paper. No film. No lens. Just a pinhole and some paper.
