Posted on September 19, 2016August 4, 2019 by Red Dirt Kelly

“Clean lines, compelling color palettes, refined sense of balance, and the greatest subject matter on earth.”  Thoughts like these run through my mind as I work my way through Audrey Dodgen’s portfolio.

Silent Sunday: Poetry and Flowers

Posted on April 10, 2011April 11, 2011 by Red Dirt Kelly

Today I’m providing a photo or two from one of my gardener friends, Alice Woodrome. I’m also sharing a poem written by a family friend, Marvellena Scott, for her husband, Kermit. Both of these guest contributors clearly have the wisdom and beauty of more years of life and love behind them than I.

Posted on March 27, 2011March 28, 2011 by Red Dirt Kelly

When highlighting Oklahomans for our Silent Sunday series, I’m always amazed at the variety of backgrounds covered by those who are also excellent photographers.  Such is the case with Judge Michael Stano, or…Michael Stano the photographer, of Stillwater. I like signing into his “Zenfolio” website just to hear the relaxing threads of music accompanying me…

Silent Sunday: 2/20/10 ~ Sissy Osteen’s Work

Posted on February 20, 2011February 22, 2011 by Red Dirt Kelly

When she died on 2004, I picked up the camera again and determined that I would be the eye for both of us. I believe that taking pictures can help anyone develop an ability for capturing details that others may not necessarily see, bringing into view a new perspective of the subject portrayed.
