Visual Ornaments, Part Two; Maui, April 2019
Like corvids, we are diverted by bright objects. Visual ornaments snag our attention. Our vision locks onto them. We ignore their duller surroundings. Maui's bright ornaments are everywhere, domesticated, wild, cultivated, feral, tucked away, conspicuous, demure, promiscuous, small, large.

Comments
After a lifetime of mainly expressing myself with words, my postings here will mainly rely on images. They will speak for themselves to some extent, but I'll usually add a few comments of explanation. I've taken photographs for decades, since the 1950's, inspired in part by my father's photographic skill. Four years of photo assignments and quality darkroom time eventually gave way to decades of casual and family picture-taking. I re-immersed myself when I left film and turned to digital.
