Families still wash clothes in the Tomebamba river that flows through Cuenca Hard to believe where the time went, but today marks our 3rd anniversary of the date we landed in Cuenca to start our retirement. We start with a near empty slate every week, and our calendar is booked by the end of the […]
Evelyn Johnson’s Art Show Articles
Tomorrow marks our 3rd anniversary of moving to Cuenca to start our retired life. In researching what to say in tomorrow’s post, we came across two articles about Evelyn that never made it into our blog. Both were articles that came out in March 2016, just as we were preparing to leave for Turkey for […]
Vistazo Magazine Article on Burt
Vistazo is an Ecuadorian news magazine. The issue with yesterday’s cover date (October 20, 2016) has an article about three photographers in Cuenca, of which Burt is the first listed. They asked for a few of my photographs to illustrate their article celebrating Cuenca’s upcoming Independence Day, plus a few quotes from me around which […]
Brag – Winners…Life in Retirement…
This post is a bit of a personal brag for both of us. You have already read about the Mayor’s Gallery Art Reception this past Friday, and the Cuenca Art Walk 2016 that followed during the weekend. El Mercurio is a major Spanish Language Cuenca newspaper that we follow (usually from Jeanne’s daily English translations […]
Waterfall Moving From Still Image
You may have noticed that a couple recent blogs have had moving images in them (symphony and magic as examples). These are animated GIF images that I have been experimenting with. Both those were made starting with videos that I shot during the event. With some masking magic, I am able to obtain a moving […]
Evelyn’s First Solo Exhibition
Lynda with her new painting from the Parada de Bus series How many people will come to Evelyn’s reception? That was a question that plagued us for weeks. How much food and wine do we prepare? We have been to some art show receptions where only a handful of people showed up. We were advised to […]
Evelyn Solo Art Show Announcement
Evelyn is opening her first solo art show this week! Her first (and only prior) show was in July, 2014, where she exhibited with two other artists. 19 months later, she is having her second show, and this time as the only artist. Not only that, but she is exhibiting at Galería Larrazábal, an exclusive […]
Evelyn’s First Art Expo
After years of having friends try to convince her to have an art showing, Evelyn finally caved and had her first opening reception tonight. After weeks of being nervous and fearing nobody would come or like her work, she sold 6 out of the 14 she displayed within the first 3 hours — far more […]
41 Años!
(en English = 41 Years!) Today was our 41st anniversary. Hard to believe, but it was 41 years ago today that we skied between those ski patrol poles to the flash of the newspaper camera, and said “I do” over The French Way of Skiing at Kirkwood Meadows. (I posted details on the wedding on […]
Super Moon and Porch Sunset
This post is really just to show off a couple of photographs I took from our deck this weekend. Sunday was the official “Super Moon”, which means the full moon was at its closest to earth. This happens once every 14 months, so is not completely rare. However, it is a bit more unusual to […]
