Last November I said I'd be writing more on my web site. Even Weebly's automatic monitor saw that I'm a total chicken about it and has been writing me asking why it can generate all sorts of nonsense as a stupid computer program but I as a sentient being can't do squat. It has a point.
It's not hard for me to write. It's hard for me to be public. And that's strange coming from a performer. But you performers out there will know what I mean. It's easy to get on stage and try to hide behind what you're doing. Of course, the product isn't worth much. I have to get ME out there. That's hard.
So, I thought it might be good to be willing to take pictures of myself.

I have this nice office that faces west. The sun comes in late afternoon in a brutal way. Seemed just a nuisance. Then I realized I could filter it out and use it. So I put a piece of paper up in front of the sun and stared at the paper, then shot it with the same web cam set about eight feet across the room.
Now this is better. Crop it and I get my head shot. Well, it's not much but I'm a cheapskate and this worked. Now I just need to figure out how to exploit this light source, which unfortunately means I have to make the sun stand still. I know it's been done before.
In the meantime, Weebly is not making it easy for me to create this page. Or maybe it's too easy. I'm accustomed to writing my own HTML and creating whatever I want.

Anyway, here's the final product. At least I was reasonably well groomed.
Incidentally, I'll be featuring some videos. I'll talk on some, play on some. This is a project to learn some important things (important to me). Part of it will be learning how to create a decent video. Bear with me...
