  1. derrickjknight – UK – I am an octogenarian enjoying rambling physically and photographing what I see, and rambling in my head as memories are triggered. I also ramble through a lifetime's photographs. In these later years much rambling is done in a car.

  2. judybarton – Still in love, complicated, almost stupid, interested to recognize herself. "Up to the age of eighteen years old everybody writes poems; after, only two categories of people may continue to do it: poets and idiots." (Benedetto Croce). Obviously I do not consider myself a poet.

  4. Gretchen Del Rio – Crestline, California, USA – I first discovered the magic of water based colors when many years ago I began to paint with procion dyes on silk. I loved the unexpected quality of the process. It was so exciting to never be sure what the colors and water would combine to produce. It seemed as though the medium had its own passion. Painting with watercolors and paper is much the same. I love the color combinations and separations that occur spontaneously as the color floats on the water. You can never totally predict what effect will result. If you try to control the medium too much, your painting will be very tight losing its aliveness. The artist must be bold and decisive or the work will not be clear and fresh. It is really like a dance. It becomes a controlled folly in knowing when to let go and when to take charge of the direction that the painting is taking. The images that I paint reflect my emotions and are expression of my life experience. They are not extensively planned, but rather evolve as the painting progresses. I am always surprised by the end result since it comes into being because of what the medium and emotion has suggested. The paintings are from my heart and I always fall in love with the subject. I believe that we are all connected and, if an image touches you, it is because we all have the same heart even though our paths may be different. Most of all, painting what I paint makes me happy. The paintings are my own path unfolding. They are an opening door for me and contain my own passion for life.

  11. flauntingdawn – I live in the Pacific Northwest. I have two blogs, "Flaunt Your Life" and "A Coffee Stained Life." I love genealogy, history, pen & ink drawings, strong black coffee, working in the garden, and baking. I listen to all sorts of music from Beatles, Bob Marley, Bing Crosby, Badfinger, Jackson Browne, and CSN to classical chamber music and old English medieval folk music. I prefer old 30s and 40s romantic comedies especially if they involve James Stewart or Cary Grant. I love reading Agatha Christie and dream of being able to take a year-long vacation to Europe someday.

    Love the photograph. Amazing how the water can look like crocodile or alligator skin with just a few ripples.

  13. mickeypamo – Cincinnati, OH 45220 – I danced with the Harkness Ballet of New York from 70 to 73. I continued to dance till I was 50 when I was waylaid by 4 hip surgeries from 2007 to 2011, leaving me chronically ill, but content. After getting a bachelor's and master's in English (1989 and 1992 respectively), I started, in my last few years of dance, to use my writing with solo choreography, ie., performance art stuff. I've worked at University of Cincinnati' College-Conservatory of Music as Director of Publications, completely revamping their alumni magazine; at UC's Center for Women's Studies as Publications Coordinator; and at Morehead State University as Director of Publications and Printing Services. My current home-publishing service (for book design, editing, promotional work, etc., since 1997) is http://TheKarmaPress.com. I concentrated on poetry in university. I read Karma Tarot cards from a Tibetan Buddhist perspective in Cincinnati, OH. I continue to dance in my heart and my hands and anything else still moving after 4 hip replacements . . . like most aging dancers. I continue to seek compassion and wisdom, and will do so till I transform out of this lifetime . . . and beyond

  14. camerapacker – Greenville, SC – I have been photographing since 1957. I am a retired pathologist, dedicated photographer, avid audiophile and occasional fisherman. I may comment on all of the above in my blog. My blogs will have photo graphic subjects I am currently experimenting with. I continue to teach photography at Furman University in the OLLI program. My classes include Photoshop skills and photo criticism.
