When I first saw this video, my first thought was I must share this with my young nieces and nephews. From dancer Lil Buck’s words about his life journey, his grace amidst the works of Matisse and other masters, and the lovely soundtrack, this short video is a gentle respite. I hope you enjoy.

With still shots I wasn’t quite capturing what I wanted to share especially when the icicle began to melt and water flowed so freely. So I decided, for the first time, to try out the video feature on my camera. And while I was tempted to find a tech savvy 10-year old to help me download the video, reorient it, add audio and then upload it into this blog … well, I just plundered along. No awards will I win for the results but it was fun and I hope to keep learning how to expand what I share in words and images.

Years ago, I walked out of a used book store with the book Point Engraving on Glass. Most likely it was the nature-themed cover that drew me to the book. The author, unknown to me, had an engaging writing style as he described the evolution of glass engraving and highlighted various masters of the craft. I read it, enjoyed it, and put it away to gather dust. But it was not until this week, in a roundabout way, that I realized the author, Laurence Whistler, was a master craftsman himself. Following is a youtube video of the glass prism memorial he created for his brother, the artist Rex Whistler. I hope you have a chance to view — with sound — from beginning to end. And here’s a link to my continuing experiments photographing a shard of glass. Enjoy.
yes, you can put this poem in your pocket!
