I found this parked at the side of a field near Luckenbach Texas. A google later answered my questions as to its function. “Gleaner combines date back to 1923, when the Baldwin Brothers of Kansas, inspired by Jean Francois Millet’s famous 1857 painting, The Gleaners, decided to use the term as the name for their radically redesigned self-propelled harvesting machine. The Baldwin Brothers’ Gleaner incorporated reaping, binding and threshing all into one machine. Gleaning itself is the act of collecting leftover crops from farmers’ fields after they have been commercially harvested or on fields where it is not economically profitable to harvest.” Wikipedia
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters,
compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson My apologies for not publishing lately. I went on a brief photo trip into West Texas and had a sensory overload. (Publishing soon). That was followed by a creative vacuum. In this funk, I turned a critical eye to my current website design. There are things that I want to change...there always will be...so I am in the process of redesigning ronbullied.com.
I am also experimenting with other Web design companies as each offers features that may be more user friendly for particular applications. So it may not be a subtle change. In the meantime I am merging miPhoneography and bullog into a single blog. That single entity will have tags to assist you in sorting by equipment, location, etc. Now unfortunately Weebly tells me that there is no easy way to merge these so I may have to manually duplicate the miPhoneography postings chronologically. At minimum I lose the original comments and I apologize to those who shared their thoughts about various postings. I will leave the tab to miPhoneography for access to all original postings until they have all been duplicated in thirstyworks, the blog. In the meantime all new postings will be to bullog and that name will change to thirstyworks, the blog so that I can tie it all together. For those who followed thirstyworks.com on tumblr, where the old thirstyworks tab directed you, I will continue to publish there as well but with the same material as here on thirstyworks, the blog on weebly. Have I lost you yet? There is more to do:
