Appropriate Thought

A few minutes ago, out of the blue and unplanned, I came across this photo portrait of Amelia Earhart. I thought, oh this is cool, I want to post this next. But I thought, I should wait and use it when some particular date is appropriate. Then I thought (I'm always thinking) no, I want to post it next. I scanned it and just now before uploading I thought (there I go again thinking), I thought I'll just quick check any appropriate dates today. TA-DAA, this is her birthday, today, right now. She was born July 24, 1897. How much more appropriate could it get? I love synchronicity.

A portrait of Amelia Earhart by the Bachrach Studio, 1930

Great picture. Gosh, what look! She must have been a hell of a woman.

I'll say. Adventure was her middle name (Actually Mary, but you know what I mean). It's a fascinating read about her on Wikipedia.

I still am amazed that I chose to post her picture on her birthday without knowing it.

About Me

My Photo
Thomas Haller Buchanan
My name is Thom Buchanan. I'm an artist and photographer. People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years. I refer to myself as a pictorialist, as I don't limit myself in the process of how an image is made. Images are my life.
View my complete profile
I intend to share many of my pictorial treasures, some not terribly rare, but terribly meaningful to me. I like to zoom in on details along the way and share what has inspired me in my career as an artist. And I would like to examine the value of pictorial images, not in terms of money, but in degrees of imagination.

I refer to myself as a pictorialist, not just in my set of skills, but in my lifelong appreciation of the skills and talents of artists, illustrators, cartoonists, sculptors, photographers, typographers, and graphic designers. I'd like to share that appreciation with anyone who stumbles into my little world.

It's a good little world!
