The next composition named "Future Now" is composed of 6 concept shots.
These days I with many others are calling out for calm in our world.

For me "Unity" began in 1981, my US Army photographer days. I sent it off to a number of New York area publications and got
a stack of thank you notes. The ribbon is from the LaSalle County Town & Country Art Fair at Peru Mall in 1982.

In cronological order of creation the next layout
is "Ode to the Unborn" or "Half ______"
The title is limiting to the concept of this shot
and is a precursor to my thoughts on possibilities
of the mind, which I remember hearing once or
twice we humans use about 10% of our capacity.

Next shot is more what I do on a weekly basis,
family portraits. This one I call
"Whole World in His Hands".

"Intelligent Design" has been floating in my brain
for years, and the recent debate got this
pokey puppy up and bouncing to put it into print.

Next shot, I've not decided if this is to be called
"Light and Darkness" or "The Graven Image".
The ribboned painting is by Gary Oglesby, which
I purchased after seeing it at the 1997 Town and
Country Art Fair. I hope he approves of the additions.

Finally "Way to Go" was designed by me and shot by
my Mom, since it's my eye. The idea is human kind
has come a long way trying their hand at
intelligent design and a way way long way to go.

Below is a Website Sales passout from my recent campaign to get folks on the www.
I figure our area is shy of websites from perceived complications with the
technology and monthly fees. Give me a call and I'll explain neither is a good reason.
The site you are viewing has a yearly fee of $35.
As far as tech, it's not rocket science but requires some skill.

Below this point are a number of features available from this powerful
website provider and software platform; map & weather sources.
Even more I'm choosing not to explore such as a hit counter, site map, imbedded audio & video,
calculator, recommend site, guestbook, time/date, RSS feeds.
