My sweet sister sent me a new lens for my birthday. Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 60mm. Fun, fun. It’ll take me a while to figure it out, but I love the possibilities. Just a few shots from around the house…
Thanks, Jody…
Welcome…
...to my creative work. Thanks for stopping by. Still cobbling together the artistic life as playwright, actor, director, teacher, blogger, picture-taker (someday I'll grow up to be a photographer), friend, and a guy who is out there still trying to figure out how to navigate the career dynamics of transition, challenge, and transformation. Seismic shifts are everywhere. My focus on the theatre is growing, so you'll find much of my theatre work represented here. The blog ranges all over the place, observing the human experience through a particular lens; I used to call it "The Hopper." Soulful culture watching with an eye toward the Christ. My daily life with family is here, too. Roam, enjoy, and drop a note if something catches your eye. And don't forget to make something creative, beautiful, and transformational today. Might as well... Peace.Click the coffee for more photographs...

Loreen is her name--the old woman in the angel costume who accosts Cyrus Manning near the dance floor of the Down Under. A gift is coming, she tells him. "The gift to die for." For Eleven years Cyrus has pastored First Church of Ruin, a small city deep in the barrens of West Texas. He has come upon hard times. His congregation doesn't want him anymore, and he is questioning not only his call but his very identity. And God is quiet. In this richly textured novel, Jeff Berryman enters the world of the small town congregation, revealing its natural wonders, its natural cruelties, and, here and there, breathtaking moments of unnatural grace.
Jeff Berryman · Cobbling together the artist's life…acting, writing, directing, teaching…making beauty…
Makes me think of Slawomir Idziak’s lens in Kieslowski’s Three Colors: Blue, which focused so intently on small things like musical notation and the dilation of the iris in Juliette Binoche’s eye…
Have fun. Keep sharing what you capture.
It’s been awhile, so I should say again… I love your contributions here, Jeff. Your insights are inspiring, a strong shot of sustenance in my frenzied day.
I don’t do enough close-up work – but I’ve got some new toys to play with and I think I’ll be some more fairly soon. You’re candle flame broke the creative logjam I was having for “fire” for my Pentecost piece…. You’re an inspiration for more than your preaching
