I set my tripod over on the end of the track and took bunches of pics of people on top. Not much detail but if u were here during the eclipse, You might be in some of them.
Above was where my tripod was below (yellow cap) is a picture I captured using time lapse..
Mount Pleasant has been my santuary in my last years,
Until last sumer my pals were Saint Benards, this is Puparonia
I take lots of pics and don't post them all cept if there is a group, with so many expressions, blinking n laughing, then I might do a few of that pose.
Science fair.. Remembering all the things taught in school, then looking at myself and others, thinking how much of the info was ever used or remembered.
In the years that I have been coming out, I thought that <punt Pleasant ould be a great learning lab for students and would actually be used through out their lives.
If you peek at this idea, follow the sequence under labels 00 01 02 ...
Not so hard to understand but it takes a bit of thought. Things taught algebra trigonometry.. are not easy to understand .. used by very few.
You can subscribe to the blog to follow along if any more thoughts are added.
Being inspired to write things down last night. Every time I write stuff again, I might change or forget something.. so this will be my whopper.
I wasn't going to go in last night but Mt P tricked me.
Sometimes I go and I have no willing subjects.
Last night there were 3 at the beginning but I couldn't get the camera to focus.
Couple girls n their baby n a family of four.
If I hang out a few years, I might get another chance.
The girls on the bottom right of the composite. asked em to come back after I did something wrong.. no got that pic.
So many people but some stick in my thoughts and wonder what ever happened in their lives
Little girl n her dad fishing, never saw this pic but I wonder, little girl n her dad, years later I did get to take another pic of em at the fair.
Left eye can't see but I have an adjustment for my eye site on this camera. The little wheel is so close to the movie button, trying to move it.. ugh the movie starts up.
If you ever saw the singing cartoon I am just a bill, I thought I might make a series of things I like to share on taking pics.
One being taking a pic of people about 30 minutes b4 sunset to show squinting and harsh shadows then do it again about 10 minutes before. Nice even glow no squinting..
The others I have known for a couple years. Always thinking of something about photography and rattle off I guess. Just someone that listens to me n r nice
One other girl met her at old mans cave, watching snipets of her life, photoshop her on mt p.. maybe later
The music video
This is just the concept to be changed
The scenes zip by in seconds, but they are the results of lots of trips in town and hanging out with my pup for a couple hours.. for a few ticks of the clock
I had taken the pics of these girls a couple times and think it is ok with em.
Any time anyone ever asked me to remove anything it was done
The intended video 9wto include some of my observations to be laced with non sence ..
If the story of the grasshopper and ants, guess I have always been the grandson of the grasshopper, just like to goof off.
I first started to come out with PuppyDog.. saint, my first photographer helper, I captured a video clip of her playing with some boys in the snow. Years later one of them came over and told me he was one of them.. now bigger than me with a little one on his shoulders :)
Before losing her, I got another monster to save me from being alone.
Taking PuppyDog's ashes up to the top of Mt P, trying to hold on to the pup, I inlisted Michelle (total stranger) n her boys to help me get the job done.
(sitting by the tree)
Didn't leave her ashes, just wanted to take her up.
Early TheMick was one of the girls who liked mt p and came in and played.
She thought my name was Kooky
Maybe I should change it :)
Kooky is the name I gave to my Saint Benard. It was a term from the 60s that fit her well.
So many people made over her, so many photos of her. She got so excited when I picked up the keys
That where I took Kookys mountain for the song.
Losing Kooky, my kid thought a smaller pup is what I needed. Really wasn't gonna do that but she called around and made a meeting to look at pups.
Being me, I loved her as soon as I held her.
She is a real stinker and a pet monster too.
Last summer I took a little of Rita's, PuppyDog and Kooky ashes up on Mt Pleasant.
Did not intend to scatter them in the wind but sprinkled em up the trail and around the top
The draft of the pilot video includes snippets of things I observe through the years.

Deciding on a lyrics to song site, my thoughts on this page below the word
If you are earning money or it is part of what ever you are doing the subscription is worth it.
Before you experiment, you might compose your song in Google Docs, then use their app read out loud. By hearing mine, I knew it needed changed before using any credits to produce it.
If experimenting you will get a certain amount of 'credits' free.
What is the free cycle period. How long before you can make another.
How many credits do you need to create a song
Before entering info in a free one, and finding out you do not have credits, how do you find that out first.
How long can a song be. Some over x minutes are cut off
Can you share it with others
How long will your song remain on the site,
Can you download your song free,
Using the same lyrics and same settings again, you will get different sounds.
What settings do you need to use
How easy is it to click through setting options
Not knowing what sound will be produced I saw one site that lets you click on the description to hear a clip of what sound is produced.
Is it a lyrics to song, song to lyrics, generate lyrics, text to speech.. ugh only lyrics to song in the ones I will list'
