When my father retired, he returned to the Clarinet, an instrument he had played (well enough to put himself through school) back in the 1940's.
He found a teacher who was his age - a retired professional Clarinet player.
His teacher told him that the most important thing to work on, is Tone.
"People will enjoy just about any music you play" he said " - if the tone is nice".
This, to Cedric Wright from Ansel Adams, following the catastrophic fire at Adams' Yosemite darkroom in 1937:
"Worst loss is about 5,000 negatives of Yosemite. I have to start all over again with pictures for [Yosemite Park and Curry] Co., self, and studio. Insurance ample in one way and very inadequate in others. I'll get 5X7 Juwell [camera] and go after Yosemite again with a new point of view. I have to do it for ethical reasons, but I would like to live far, far away, with a few friends, on milk and crackers, and try to get myself more into the essence of things, and say some of the things I feel way down deep I have to say."
- from "The Eloquent Light", by Nancy Newhall
Happy New Year.
Joe, I really like this one, the angles that the trees and your model creates, and I love those mushrooms!

I really like the first one. It feels ancient and eternal.
Thanks, Ken. The place feels that way also. Walls of basalt, ferns, conifers and the sound of water. The light flowing down the canyon and past the falls.
