Kasey Keefer has grown up on the outskirts of the City of
“My Dad, Andy, has always been the family photographer for all five children for school, sports, and scouts,” Keefer remembered. “He has been an amateur photographer as long as I can remember. Anytime there is a family event, he is there taking his ‘15’ shots so that he can get the right one. He believes that someone will blink,” Keefer laughed. “Dad puts up with all the derisive comments on the length of time all this takes because he knows that everyone will love the photographs when they are finished.”
“I picked up some of his skills by being around him. One Christmas, my parents bought me a digital camera to take on my scout trips since I go so many places. After using for a while, I realized that I enjoyed taking photographs and that is when I got serious about it,” he said.
“One of the times I really started to play around with the camera and explore with it was when I went to The
“For 10 days the Captain and 10 Boy Scouts sailed the ship around the Abaco Islands doing everything from swabbing the deck to raising sails. Sunsets, water, and native plants made great subjects. One evening the boat was keeled a little bit, and the flag was illuminated by the sunset. I had fun playing with that as a photographer.”
“After that, I started to shoot and learn more and more. I would read photo magazines, study other photographers’ work, and examine my own to figure out what I did or didn’t like about it, and what would make it better.”
“Last summer I went to Philmont Scout Ranch in
“Anything and everything is a possibility for a photo for me. Every time there is a sunset or an ice storm I would grab my camera and go outside and take photos. I would spend hours just shooting and learning. Now I take my camera everywhere with me. I do macro photography which means that you get really close to an object such as a flower or a leaf.”
“Currently, I want to keep shooting and learning about photography,” Keefer said. “I want to do a photo show and I have just started selling my work.”

In a recent phone call to a certain quintessential town in Carroll, I was greeted on the phone by the friendliest and perkiest town official, who put me through to the “MML Employee of the Year.” (“Meoy” – for short. Pronounced ‘meow.’)
As I chatted with Meoy, WAB, I remembered that I have had a number of requests to post the “Havenator Series” on the blog.

20080326 Daily Mail UK: Think this picture of Carla is racy?
Published in the Daily
It's not the look you would normally associate with a First Lady. But the photographer who captured this soon-to-be-auctioned image of the new Mrs Nicolas Sarkozy - former model Carla Bruni - claims he has photos that are even more explicit
[…]
Even so, the First Lady is understandably furious that a nude photo of her went on sale on the eve of her State visit to
Experts say the renewed interest in her is likely to send its price up to £2,000.
But an aide to 40-year-old Mrs Sarkozy said: "Carla is very angry, not to say deeply upset, that a commercial organisation has chosen to release this print at such an important time.
"Her priority is to establish herself on the world stage as a first lady
As well as being the first time that an image of a naked wife of a serving head of state has been sold for profit, it is being touted at a time when Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy and her husband President "Bling Bling" Nicolas Sarkozy are desperately trying to moderate their racy image.

“Feather Eyes” is actually a photo of the cover photo of one of the airline magazines. I wish that I had recorded the photographer and the name of the magazine, but I did not. It is not “my picture.” It is my picture of someone else’s picture. Nevertheless, I just thought it was fun…

20070104 1870s Dead Horse inspires intrigue and curiosity
January 5, 2007
(AP Photo/Sheboygan County Historical
The Examiner is carrying an Associated Press story about an historic photo, the subject of which is “a stovepipe-hatted man sitting on a dead horse in the middle of a dusty, deserted street.”
The photo was originally published as part of “a 2007 (newspaper) calendar with the scene. A response from readers prompted the newspaper to report about it. From there, it took off on the Internet and blogging.”
“After writing two stories about the picture, The
“No one knows who the gentleman is, exactly what year the picture was taken or the circumstances surrounding it, said Beth Dipple, director of the Sheboygan County Historical Research Center, which has had the picture in its collection for at least 20 years.”
“Dipple said about all that's known about the picture is it was taken (in Sheboygan, Wisconsin,) at South Eighth Street and Indiana Avenue between 1876 and 1884 - based on the bridge over the Sheboygan River in the background and the lack of railroad tracks that were installed in 1884.
“The city had laws on the books that required people to stay with their dead horses until they were picked up and disposed of, Dipple said.”
Of course, anyone who has read newspapers from the 1800s knows that folks had perhaps an even better sense of humor back then than folks do today.
Then again, in our contemporary age when everything is over-thought, over-analysed and overwrought, the explanation for the picture may be mundane or even documentary in purpose; who knows.
I love to tell the story about an art show I had in Baltimore in the mid-1980s, in which quite a number of my mixed media constructions incorporated a great deal of orange paint.
As I hung back relatively incognito during a portion of the show’s opening, a young lady had gathered a group of folks around her as she explained the deep psychological meaning of my use of orange paint.
It was complex – and it was intense. It was foreboding…
It was a load of crap. I used the orange paint because a friend of mine, who owned a hardware store, had several gallons of orange paint returned and he sold it to me a greatly reduced cost…
Whatever.
Sometimes “a stovepipe-hatted man sitting on a dead horse’ is just a man sitting on a dead horse.
But the picture is kinda neat - - after of course, an animal lover like me gets past the fate of the horse…
Oh, anyway, for more reading on this story go to:
