Cactus, cactus bo bactus, bananafacto bo dactus, you get it.
Today I named an image "Desert Dalliance" No lie. I'd laugh as I typed it if I wasn't so tired of it. But what was I gonna do? Hang at the keyboard for 20 minutes waiting for some kind of inspiration? Find a thesaurus and come up with some erudite, snobby-assed word that proves I can use a thesaurus? Maybe I should call 1-800-MUSE ? (I actually did that. Lets just say that her idea of "muse" was somewhat divergent from mine, and after 25 minutes of listening to her, I discovered what the rates were, and had to hang up). Should I rip off another song? Oooh, I know, I can do another really bad pun...(seriously, no effort all for that one)
About a million photogs shooting tens of thousands of images and all - have original and unique titles. If I had a dime for every Plateau Light I've seen, (including my own), I'd be able to download a couple of Ian Plants ebooks (wonderful value, btw).
No matter what I feel about it, once in a long while, a title will be so appropriate that it will seemingly add something to the dimension of the piece, and so the game goes on. As you can tell I spend little time on it. I'd as soon call it %#^&*(@. My total alltime fav was, once I stood next to shooter who was rambling through various titles as he shot the image..."Tangerine Dream"...no, no, "Creamcycle Delight", he muttered as he extended the tripod. "Autumn Extravaganza" he exclaimed excitedly.
Tonight I settled on alliteration. I did have fun with the Muse, tho...

Riding the Wildfire
Today I referenced one of the many close brushes that I have had with lightning over the years. I believe that somewhere theres a bolt out there with my name on it. While most of these events occurred in the pursuit of my photography passion, my near misses with lightning started long before then. Todays tale, though goes back almost to the beginning of my career.
I had been trying for 4 years to get pictures into Arizona Highways Magazine, often failing spectacularly. Once I submitted a bunch of 4X5 chromes for consideration on a Thursday morning that were returned to me in the mail at my house on Friday afternoon. That means the editorial
Deliberately Obtuse
I used this as the title of my last posted image because of the hard angles, but it got me thinking about the words...
..ran into a friend that had his girl friend move in. After a few weeks of relatively blissful co-habitation, it had been "suggested" by his very hot girlfriend that he should help out more around the house, and could start by doing the laundry. When I caught up with him in the laundry room, he was in the process of unwrapping some brand new red hunting socks and throwing them in the washer followed immediately by some obviously expensive womens undies.
As a friend, I figured I would be remiss if I failed to point out that,
