Captain Granitic's Adventure Blog

Captain Granitic's Adventure Blog: "have activism protecting access to remote, harsh wilderness environments?  Who cares, can't we just let 'em drill baby drill?  I mean, who does that really affect?  Isn't that a solution for getting away from OPEC oil/Canadian wood/Chinese minerals/Japanese video games? 

In a word, No.  It's important that we protect our National Parks not to keep people out; it's important that we let people in.  It's the American way.  We let people in, they experience the beauty, the majesty, they learn to care and then they ACT.  They learn to put themselves in the shoes of the rancher, the rafting guide, the rural family who treasures the area as if they owned it.  Indeed, we all do"

Photography in my Life

Photography in my Life: "This is Troy. Maybe I should say this is the back of Troy. Troy is adorable though you wouldn't know it from a lot of my images because Troy wouldn't turn around or look up. Troy who is almost three was very busy doing his own thing, which made for some very nice shots but obviously the mom wanted one of her son's face.

So I tried."

Showing up for the Muse

Showing up for the Muse: "Tilly Strauss is a New England painter recently relocated to the southern side of Miami. Her whimsical works both hide and reveal a domestic quietude with restless escapism. Contrived out of found text, poetry, paint and soul searching, her studio work is featured on the website www.tillystudio.com Right now Tilly is taking a break from the daily painting to question her muse and teach others where to look."
