While walking the four-mile loop that begins at my back door, I realized that in spite of the fact that my father can no longer join me on these lovely walks, he is always present. It is my father who inspired me to run every morning with him, look more carefully at nature and explore my world through the lens of a camera.

Bizarre Horizons
My disorganized organization finally got to me, burying me under excessive paper, projects, information gathering and un-processed adventures. My solution evolved from helping Brook start a blog for her botanical illustrations and research. I was happy to have eliminated the extraneous blogs of my own (at least four) and have only my website and website blog to keep updated. So much for good intentions. I have resurrected Bizarre Horizons. The intention has changed.
Originally (1984) it was meant to be a published magazine. In 2012 it was meant to be an online magazine. Now it is my Think Pad. It will help me to organize many of the aspects and interests and pursuits of my life by allowing me to create image galleries in multiple ways using the same images. The wordpress theme, Bindery, combines pages, posts as well as projects … perfect for my scattered thoughts and diverse modes of expression.
Bizarre Horizons is designed to be a working tool for me. I welcome you to follow my thoughts and my footsteps if you desire. I’m often asked what I do when I wander the wilderness, cities, and rural communities. Now I can send curious folks to Bizarre Horizons and they can piece together the script of my days.

Starting another blog was at the bottom of my priority list until I offered to help Brook start a blog. I stumbled upon the Bindery Theme and the wheels of my brain-machine began to turn. The possibility of a blog helping me to define my visual projects more clearly and to view my ramblings with an objective eye, while satisfying my urge to document everything with photos, sketches and words, has led me to this post. I am picking up where I left off three years ago when I started Bizarre Horizons. The purpose is different, but the name is equally as appropriate. As always, the learning curve is more painful than I like, but so are many tasks that lead to worthwhile experiences. this will forever be a work in progress. You are welcome to join me and to experience exploring the world and the people in it through my eyes, my hands, my tools and thoughts.

I’ve succumbed to the pressure. The imaginary Bizarre Horizons Magazine is now a reality.

I have a plethora of material and images that have been frothing at the bit to be published in Bizarre Horizons. Unfortunately, I have switched from PC to Mac and I need to fire up the all-but-dead-PC to retrieve the images. I’ll start working on it, but your patience is required. Please feel free to let me know you have material to submit for publication if you feel it is appropriate. Comment on the post and I will be in touch with you. Brenda Demings’s photos of the ballet dancing in the Produce Section of the supermarket is already in queue for publication. It may take a while to find the files and get them onto my Mac. This took twenty-seven years to become a reality so a few months won’t really matter.
