“In the summer of 1929, O’Keeffe made the first of many trips to northern New Mexico. The stark landscape and Native American and Hispanic cultures of the region inspired a new direction in O’Keeffe’s art. She spent most of her summers living and working in New Mexico for the next two decades. She made the state her permanent home in 1949, three years after Stieglitz’s death.”

Thanks for noticing the work of my new lens. It has taken me to another level, for sure. Thanks for the good words. I have a new rule for the correctors. If they have nothing to say about the flower or the photo, then they have nothing to say about whether the flower is a flower, a plant, or Uncle Jack’s Constipation pills. As a Dyslexic, I have no use for the correctors; they need something more constructive to do.

The flowers don’t care what people call them, and neither do I. So there.

As you can see, I’m having great fun with my new lens. I’m also enjoying learning about George O’Keeffe, whose view of creativity is close to mine. It’s good to know that.

My goal is to get better once or twice a year, and thank you for noticing when I do. I’m working hard on it. I hope to see you in the morning.

This is a symphony.

The twirls and turns of the Calla move me as they have moved so many others.
