Musings and Memories: February 2008

http://kinseybarnardrocks.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, February 24, 2008. Although I am now a resident of Montana I was born and raised in California. The California I grew up in was much different than the one you see today. Much of it was rural, agricultural and a very real part of the Old West. Those fields and orchards I used to race across on my horse are no longer. Clapboard houses crammed together like sardines in a tin now cover that beautiful, fertile land. Also gone are the trust, respect and consideration people once had for each o...Since...

Musings and Memories: June 2009

Tuesday, June 2, 2009. MONTANA IS MY MUSE. It has been quite some time since I have posted to this blog. In my last epistle I spoke of plans changing. They surely did for me. I had planned to go to the Gulf Coast but hurricane Ike came along and cut a nasty swath right through my planned path. I aborted that arrangement and went to Arizona instead. What was I to say? St Francis of Assisi. I certainly don’t know on a conscious level why I go where I go. I just get an idea in my mind to go to a p...No doub...

Musings and Memories: January 2008

http://kinseybarnardrocks.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 29, 2008. My best friend is a dog. He is a purebred Siberian husky and his name is Lakota Sunrise. Lakota for his father Lakota Brave Heart and Sunrise for his mother Tequila Sunrise. I mostly call him Koty. Koty has been my constant companion since he was eight weeks old. He flew to me on December 1, 1999. It got me thinking about living in the moment again. And what I thought was; living in the moment is all well and good but not to the exclusion of our companions and loved ones&#4...

Musings and Memories: May 2008

http://kinseybarnardrocks.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 6, 2008. Dark Moods and Recycling Kindness. The above photograph is from my Limited Editions – Photographic Abstracts gallery. I have entitled it “This Way Darkly”. A play on the words of Shakespeare’s “Something wicked this way comes”. I couldn’t really tell you where my titles come from. They just pop into my head. But, this seems a good photo to accompany this piece on dark moods and recycling kindness. Recently, I had one of these nasty moods. It may have been some kind of post partu...

Musings and Memories: December 2007

http://kinseybarnardrocks.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 31, 2007. A Conundrum and An Answer. Recently I visited a wildlife park in Oregon. The pictured photograph is of an aging, male African Lion who was a resident of this park. He was a beautiful old man. When I looked into his eyes I thought I saw sadness there and it made me wonder. Is it better to be a prisoner in a cage or live free and probably die at the hand of a poacher? This, of course, is the conundrum. Is it better to live in a cage or live free and die? 169; Kinsey Barnard.

Musings and Memories: August 2008

http://kinseybarnardrocks.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 14, 2008. Courage. Dictionary.com defines it "the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery.". I had always assumed they just knew how "instinctively". I'm uncertain that I know where I am going with this other than to say we are so much more connected to the natural world than most of us are willing to admit. I believe we are particularly connected to animals. Ask any marketing expert how to reach people and the...It is...

Musings and Memories: October 2008

http://kinseybarnardrocks.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 23, 2008. There is an old saying "If you want to make God laugh, make plans". I don't know who to give credit to for that saying but I certainly think there is much truth in it. And, if there is truth in it God has been rolling on the floor laughing at me. And developed a NEW WEBSITE. I'm actually looking forward to this new way of doing things. And, I guess that's the lesson learned. Don't attach too much of yourself to your plans because they have a way of changing on you....The photo...

Musings and Memories: Paintnig With A Camera - Psychotropic Trout

http://kinseybarnardrocks.blogspot.com/2010/03/paintnig-with-camera-psychotropic-trout.html

Sunday, March 7, 2010. Paintnig With A Camera - Psychotropic Trout. Click to view larger image of "Psychotropic Trout". This past week was a very special one for me. I created a new "painting" with my camera. For me, nothing is more exciting. Perhaps I should explain. I will be adding to those galleries as time allows. But, the “paintings” those are what excite me and inspire me. Now to why this was a great week. Mother Nature allowed me to create a new “painting”! It’s titled “Psychotropic T...In it Lor...

Musings and Memories: June 2008

http://kinseybarnardrocks.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 7, 2008. If there is one personal attribute that I continually struggle with it's patience. I find myself saying at once "Life is just flying by." and "Crikey, why does everything take so danged long? And it's true, life is just flying by so what's my damned hurry? Can't wait to meet the Grim Reaper? I think not. I love my life. Yet time and again I lose my patience over stupid things over which I have no control. Yet, I sense we need patience every bit as much as those snowy egrets in ord...

Musings and Memories: January 2010

Sunday, January 31, 2010. Every Image Has A Story. For the past couple of weeks I have been immersed in a new project and when I get into something I am as a woman possessed. I have started a new blog. That's just what I need a new blog but there you have it. The title of the new blog is Every Image Has a Story. When I decided to have an Internet presence for my limited edition photography Kinsey Barnard's Fine Art of Photography. Nowhere is this more true than with viewing images. It's just boom, bo...
