August 3rd, 2026
Is it really August already? This year seems to crawl along, and then I look at the calendar and realize we are more than half way through the year. Only five more planned trips to go this year.
I have a large, two story open wall in my entry way, that was screaming for some art work or photos. Jan had wanted to create a triptych photo made for that space, but we never got around to it, and I was having a hard time figuring out what landscape image could be split into three sections. After working on some of the astrophotography images from the Arches National Park workshop, I decided to create three big acrylics, and mount those on the wall. I did all the measuring a month ago, and even placed the mounting nails, all done on a sturdy ladder. I really need to be careful when I’m up there, given my degraded sense of balance. I survived. I also added two spotlights on the loft to highlight the images…Google controlled of course (Hey Google, turn on the spotlight).
The final print arrived today, and I mounted it this morning. I’m amazed that I measured everything correctly. How’s that adage go..measure twice, cut (or drill) once. I’m pleased with the end result.
There’s still a lot of room above those pictures…all I’d need is some scaffolding, and I can add another layer. Or install climbing ropes so I can swap photos once in a while. It could happen.
Peace
