It’s also fun to play with the lens. I just recently learned this ‘trick’ in a photo workshop.

The subject of this piece of art escapes me. I’m guessing she had something to do with movies?

The shoes are all that is visible of this homeless man,  his possessions sealed from the elements with a blue tarp.

Primrose from our garden. Not sure what caused the spotting. Maybe I dripped some gray paint last week?

About Me

Currently 74 years old, cancer survivor  living in Seattle, WA. Enjoy both photography and music.

Update: 6 Sept 2023: Cancer has returned. Probably will start directed radiation treatment at the end of October.

Update: 24 Sept 2024: After two 15 round sessions of SBRT I am now undergoing chemotherapy. After chemo, A PET scan will assess where I am. After the scan I will be minimally doing a year of immunotherapy -beginning November, 2024. Update: 8 March 2025-Finished 3rd immunotherapy ( Imfinzi- a checkpoint inhibitor) and fourth is on 11 March 2015. Another PET SCAN scheduled for 18 March 2025.

Update Sept. 2025: Scans from a couple of weeks ago look positive. However, Oncologist has changed the original plan from one year of immunotherapy to continuing “indefinitely”, as he feels, due to my history with cancer, that if stopped it would come back.

 

Selfie: 2016 at the Cliffs of Moher and from March of 2025. Nearly ten years apart.
