Fine Art







 

















This would look good in my back yard ... correct that ... my front yard.
Thanks for a good shoot ...  Goodbye Paseo

A Time for Hoarding

These are difficult days ... trying to fill my foodstuffs for the coming cold, icy, and barren winter months ... and there's lots of competition for my precious nuts. It starts with catching just one ... I'm driven by complex instinctive survival modes. It's scary for an old man getting so high up in the limbs and the terrible creatures that reside there. Man is an invader, top of the food chain - we take what we want,  ... until. 

My nut stores grow.

The initial capture is the most terrifying period, much confusion amongst the nuts, snatched from the trees awaiting an unknown fate.

Nuts wating to be screened, weighed and numbered.


An ever watchful eye for those that would steal master's nuts.

Upfront, the leaders of the nuts ... "what are your demands".

Nuts, screened.

Driving the squirrels and wolverines back into the trees. "Good girl, Angel ... you earned your keep today", we're partners, a good team.

Where the nut pushing began ... then the uprising ... it was terrible ... I had to bring out the nutcrackers to quell the revolt ... many were smashed, "hey, you nuts in the back, knock it off".

Stacked and ready to be put into the nut vault.

An attempted nut escape.

Guarding nuts is exhausting work, master.

The Grand Olympic Oklahoma River Rowing Complex

New "lines" on the Oklahoma River.

Architectural Digest would be proud of this feat.

" ... where's my straight edge ..."

"Diagon Alley" (from harry potter)

Structure in every direction.

Watch the race in comfort ... "get me another drink, honey"

What's the point?

Olympic pride in OKC

A window washer's dream.

View from the roof - "... hey mister, you're not suppose to be up here ... oh, it's you dave ..."

Where is the horizontal control?

Blues

Different perspectives.

The OKC fathers didn't want me to see this - turn the river on, turn the river off.

Train obstacle over the river.

Pathway.

Get closer to the beauty of nature around us.

I'm watching you, dave.

Biker.

Judges.

Beauty on the river.

Rudder, exposed.

You are here.
