Hello and welcome to Caedes. Looks like I get to be the first to welcome you and hope you like your stay and the many very fine artists. Thanks very much for the comments on "Flight School 101". Because of the "Hanford Reaches" unique past and present, one can almost get the feel of how it must have been before the white man came to the area. The wildlife and the aloneness make for an almost spiritual feeling.
I'm really pleased you enjoyed the image. Next time you get down this way drop me an email (to the one on my profile page) and maybe we can get together and share some of our experiences about the Hanford Reach.
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling; “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.
William Faulkner
