DemoTex is now Bo Zarts

It has been over 17 years since I moved from Texas, and the once-great Texas culture has been bastardized by the Texas Republican Party. That GOP macho schtick is wearing thin with me nowadays. So now that I have an opportunity, I'm changing my DU username to Bo Zarts. Some of you might recognize that name from the copyright I usually post on or with my photos: ©Bo Zarts Studio.

For background, École des Beaux-Arts is one of a number of influential art schools in France. Ergo, stylized into English, Beaux Arts becomes Bo Zarts. Voilà!

Since I have you this far, let me divulge something else that is happening with me. You might have noticed that I have not posted many NEW photos in almost six months. The last frame I shot was early last September. My chronic pain from cervical and lumbar spinal issues is back with a vengeance, and getting worse (but making several medical doctors rich). Because of that, I will most likely not be working a fire lookout this coming season.

So, I sit at my computer a few minutes at a time, several times a day, editing and re-editing old images. I have hundreds of thousands of digital images, and some have never been edited or posted. I will be doing a lot of experimentation in post processing (Lightroom and Photoshop, with Nik and Topaz), so you might see some crazy stuff .. some wild stylizations. Bear with me, and just remember that it is just old-man DemoTex .. er, I mean Bo Zarts .. biding his time until things get better.

Great Blue Heron

I know, I know .. it's REDDISH. But my ornithologist nephew assures me that this is a Great Blue heron.
