The title of this blog, “Becoming is Superior to Being,” is a Paul Klee quote and best captures my philosophy of life which is captured in photos, poetry, social/political commentary designed to inspire creative growth.

I have been blogging since November 2005. I began the current blog,  April 20, 2008.

I am not a “bluesman”, but I have always thought of myself as one. May I be blessed with love and music; poetry and books; family and friends; great ideas cultivated in the beauty of the nature. — kenne

“The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it.Arthur Schopenhauer

“I felt a resentment against God or man for having imposed an incredible stupidity upon the world. And the world had accepted it…” Margaret Anderson The Little Review

“Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.” — Daniel Patrick Moynihan

“I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.” – Thomas Jefferson

My hometown had been The Woodlands, Texas from September, 1983, till my wife, Joy, and I moved to Tucson, Arizona in June of 2010.

  1. Hi Keene,
    I am going to be in Tucson for 4 days starting this thursday (4/5/12). Looking forward to photographing cactus blooms and getting some sun :) . Can you tell me which trail you photographed the cactus blooms you posted in your blog ‘Capturing The Moment — Cactus Blossoms Along The Trail’ posted on 3/27/12. I am visiting from Seattle and it would be wonderful if i can find some of these blooms and others to photograph, i’ll have my camera gear w/ me.
    thx

    • The photos were taken along the Brown Mountain Trail in the Tucson Mountains near the Desert Museum. You may have missed a lot of the wildflowers, but the cactus plants are beginning to bloom in a lot of the desert.
