They can't even define communist. It's just a slur from the 50s. #Zer0Billionaires #Resist #VoteBlue #econsky

Tweet-like post stating: "We don't give a fuck when they call us communists because we aren't communists. They give a fuck when we call them fascists because they're fascists."

These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku pieces. No one’s buying right now, and I understand - art isn’t always the priority in difficult times. But I’m still making, and sharing a little beauty feels worthwhile. A like or share might help these pieces find their people. 🙏

A 6 panel image on white with 4 raku vases and 2 spirit animals. All were handmade by Alchemy.

Dark red/maroon stems frame the subject and create interesting geometric shapes in the background in strong contrast to the sensuous shape of the flower.

Mountain Laurel seed pods. Follow up from previous post of Mountain Laurel bloom. I chose to render this in monochrome because the contrast and texture appeal to me. The color version is also nice. Canon EOS R6 MII, Canon 100-400 at 300mm, 1/80 sec, ISO160, f/13 #monochrome #photography #spring

Black and white image of Mountain Laurel seed pods. There are drops of dew on the pods and leaves. Signs of insect damage appear on some of the seed pods. The image is vaguely suggestive of finger skeleton bones!

The decay of Burnt Orange. Detail of painted fire hydrant. Canon R6MII, Canon 50mm f/1.8, 1/80 sec, ISO 250 #Canon #photography #abstractphotography #abstract

Color image depicts close up of a painted fire hydrant. The original silver paint was covered with "Burnt Orange" the color of the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, USA. Time has taken its toll as the burnt orange paint has cracked and faded revealing the also decaying silver paint below. Dark cracks delineate random patterns in lines and arcs. Focal point is a key hole used for unlocking the hydrant by firefighters or maintenance crews. Picture was taken in subdued lighting, overcast sky.

Unity. This is in my initial group of images from my first digital camera. I have always shot film. First of a series of images depicting yard art in my neighborhood. I love public art on this small scale. Canon R6, Canon 100mm f/2.8L, ISO 250, f4.5, 1/250sec #CanonR6 #photography #yardart

Shows a color image of a terra cotta statuette. The sculpture depicts a ring of six figures each with their arms embracing those next to him. Figures have a primitive feel, vaguely pre-Columbian meso-America. The tones in the picture belie the time of day: early morning, just as the sun was coming over the horizon. Warm colors with a dash of green from small plants. The image is very contrasty with bright areas defined by deep shadow.

image shows a hazy, foggy view down a narrow defile down a mountain slope (Mt. Ranier). The fog obscures the view across the valley. Fir trees in the foreground form a vee along the passage. Downslope, one can spy what appears to be a creek or other body of water at the bottom. This is a moody image with muted colors of mostly shades of green, some dark orange.

Sunbeam. Taken at Mt. Ranier with Canon FTb, Canon 50mm lens, Kodak 200 Gold. Alt text included. #vibrant #blueskyartshow #photography #CanonFTb #filmphotography

Image is taken in a forest on the slopes of Mt. Ranier. The focus is a sapling (not sure what type of tree) that is caught in a sunbeam and appears to glow compared to the shaded surrounding vegetation. Fallen tree trunks or branches frame the small tree in front and behind. There are strong vertical and horizontal elements to the image, with the foreground dominated by the horizontal fallen trees. Strong vertical lines of trees in the background create a visual contrast to the low foreground. Image has been manipulated in Lightroom to deepen the contrast between the lighted and shaded areas.
