“Green Man” by Graham Waiting
Snowed in out
We do not see blizzards that often in Boston. They only happen when relatives visit or when babies are due to be born and neither happened this time around. Thank you Lord!! We have electric power, as normal, lots of snow, but nothing more exciting than that. Compared with volcanoes, anarchy and floods/ fires, we live a really sheltered life. And long may that last.
February is a miserable month here, no sun, cold, snowy, etc, etc. So I think I may head off to St Marteen for a week or so. Barbara permitting, for the annual regatta down there. I am now taking suggestions as to how to convince her. Suggestions are welcome.

Happy Holidays
Yet another year has passed, but once again, we didn't! Oh joy. A year of ups and downs, pretty much starting at 6.30 am every day, and down by 9pm, if we make it that late. Monday through Friday is normally work, Sunday a day of rest. That leaves 52 Saturdays x roughly 14 hours each, or 728 hours a year to describe, surely not a huge task given there were nearly 9,000 hours to start with? And it is not.
Grandson Hudson loves to blow bubbles. To be exact, 728 hours worth every year. We would blow more, if there were more time, maybe even go for a walk in the park if there were even more hours. But bubbles take work, take concentration and are really fun. There's probably nothing in the world we would rather be doing.
And that, my dear friends and relatives, is the message for the New Year. May your bubbles be bigger and better than ever.
All our love

An introduction to Graham Waiting, artist, banker, photographer
Graham is not your traditional artist. He’s probably not your traditional banker either!
And if you are looking for traditional photography, well, you may just be out of luck there too.
Born in South Africa in 1954, he emigrated to the USA in 1981 with his wife after qualifying there as an accountant at college. His majors were Economics, Tax and Accounting! For the past nearly 30 years in the USA, most of his career has been in accounting and banking. Most recently he has been employed by Blue Hills Bank, formerly Hyde Park Savings Bank, as Treasurer and Controller. Previously he was CFO at Cambridge Trust Company, Director of Consumer Lending Finance at Bank of Boston and Executive Vice President at South Shore Bank.
In 2005, he 'found the light' and took a sabbatical from banking. Aged 50+, he went back to school at the Boston University Center for Digital Arts (CDIA), full time, and graduated nearly a year later with a certificate in digital photography.
Nearly 7 years later, Graham is now ready to bring us his collection of works that depict harmony, or the lack thereof, in nature around us. In his artist’s statement he says:
”I have an inexplicable need that my right brain and left brain stay in communica tion. Somehow, it brings more harmony to both equations, work and art. It helps me reconcile what is important in life and at the same time, focus on how to make life better. By studying and recording harmony in nature, I strive to reach that level too”
Using a new metal printed medium, Graham challenges you to bring both your left brain and right brain and to ‘reconcile’ his statements with yours. But, we promise, you won’t need a calculator.
