I’m taking the easy way out for this newsletter issue. I’m not going to get all philosophical. I’m just going to post a few flower photos and write a few thoughts about living an ‘artistic’ life. What is an artistic life, you may ask? There’s a lot of writing about it in art study books, but to me, because I like to simplify, I’d define it as living one's life immersed in a culture of intentional creation. It’s seeking meaning, beauty, and expression in life while expressing a perspective through art or photography, and grounding one's thoughts in the idea that life should be deeply examined. But more than that it’s being involved within a community, however you define that, of likeminded and supportive people, and continually learning and adjusting one’s self and one’s creations.
I love the wildflower pictures Bryan. They speak to my heart. I used to spend hours and days taking wildflower pictures., but am unable to do so anymore. Upon spring, I find myself looking out car windows in hopes of seeing these precious delicate flowers of nature. Thank you so much Bryan.
Thanks for your openess on the medical stuff. I'm on a similar journey. And the photos you shared, along with your technique, is instructive and inspiring. Best of luck with the next medical test.
Like the slime mold! I am starting to see it every time I go out to photograph. Best wishes with your health issues and hope to join another photo workshop soon.
Best of luck with your health issues. I too am going through some health issues. My knee is painful and likely needs scoping. Last week I also was diagnosed with Blastomycosis aka Namekagon River Fever. The only treatment open to me due to other medications is very expensive and the Insurance rarely covers it. We are dealing with them at this time.
Best of luck with your medical issues. I know how frustrating it is to deal with the lack of availability of medical staff and the slow drag of dealing with insurance companies.
Hi Bryan, best of luck on the test outcomes. I was in a similar frame of existence this spring (minus the bureaucracy of dr’s office vs insurance co), and the level of stress building toward getting the results surprised me a bit. I wish I would have acknowledged that more; you seem to have it framed in a better perspective. Good luck and hope the results are anticlimactic.
I should have remembered it is lupin season, I came up to shoot the raging water, and found all the lupins in bloom, but caught out of position without my macro lens.

Best wishes for a good prognosis and a fast-track back normal!
Get back to “well,” my friend
Water drops really enhance a flower photo, IMO

The water drops you added to the blue bead lily made the image for me. Love it.
We hope you are feeling better and that you can work your way through the maze of medical and insurance bureaucracy!
Best wishes with your medical issues. I really enjoy reading your newsletter every month regardless of the topic.
