They Can't All Be Winners
Look at that! I hit focus on this one. Exposure, too. But. . . the lens was not wide open. Shooting The Beast with the AeroEktar wide open may not be optimum for me. Anyway. . . That was a...

A Pleasant Interlude
I'm going to quit reading reports of research done about nutrition, wellness, disease, fitness, and aging. I can't do it all. I read, for instance, that even a little bit of light in a bedroom will...

Zeitgeist of the Banal and Me
Here's one of the photos I took of my new photo friend. One of those would have been a nice shot. What can I say? I need to build some muscle memory again. My friend liked it, though. Here's a...

"A Tale Told by an Idiot"
That Old Full Wolf Moon rising in a subtropical southern sky. These iPhone cameras are really something. And maybe it was the moon that made me do it. Remember that I told you yesterday that I got...

Cue the Music
Just the way I found it. Sort of David Lynch, I thought. Cafe Strange. Cue the music. Now, I mean. It is easy to read to and will make this post so much better. The photo is good and fine the way...

Travel Talk
One reason to travel is to meet the natives, locals who populate the landscape, so to speak. The other is to see things unfamiliar. In traveling, of course, sometimes even the most familiar sights...

P.O.P.
I assume that this was my father's class photo his senior year of high school. Best guess. As I look at it now, I see how much he looked like his younger sister. I wish I could go back into the...

A New Camera. A New Attitude?
The weather here has become what it should be and what brings a billion people to the state this time of year, much to the chubby-inducing pleasure of the greedhead tourist industry. But I'll step...

Bright and Beautiful, Sweetness and Light
More pretty weather yesterday. I was absolutely ebullient. Sunshine and blue skies and fair temperatures are magical balms for my (sometimes troubled) spirit. A beautiful day and a new camera--I was...

So While Ye May. . . .
Dry January done, last night I toasted its departure with a Campari and soda in the fading light of day with a little cheroot and two companion cats. "Oh," you say, "so January wasn't dry after all!",...

The Horrible Reality of Groundhog Day
I have fallen in love with my new camera. It has me taking pictures again. Of anything. It all looks fascinating to me now through the lens of this camera. It is big, and with the new lens, it is...

Incremental
Am I lazy or am I frightened? I don't think it is an either/or thing, really, but a variating combo of each. I have the intention every day to go out with my camera, but I find other things I "must"...

The Way It Goes
Another unbelievably beautiful day. I sat inside. Oppressed? Repressed? Paralyzed? Catatonic? Beats me, really. By one, it was clear to me I wasn't going to go on a photo safari, so. . . I put...

Disseminating
This probably won't be a long post (and the crowd goes wild). I've picked up a little something, probably on my night out with the boys. Just a slightly runny nose and a little kennel cough. That...

Glamorized
This is not how the original photo looks. I've colorized it. It becomes more "real" to me this way, more three dimensional. Hillbillies at the beach--dad, mom, and my mother's sister. I saw this...

Adventure and Daring!
I'm up at five. I wanted to write. Gush, really. I was manic yesterday from start to finish. Now I'm tongue tied. I've probably crashed like a crackhead after a big night on the town. I've most...

Go Ask Alice
I woke up lost this morning. I don't know how to explain it. It could be spending so much time with these blurry, dreamy--or is it nightmarish--images. I doubt it, though. Surely not. Trying to...

I'll Need Practice
I've been writing for an hour now. I've deleted it all. Twice. I'm like a baseball player or a tennis player or a golfer who hasn't been practicing. I keep swinging but I can't seem to hit the...

What's New?
As some of you may have pointed out, I forgot to mention Fat Tuesday. Easy defense. I'm not Catholic. I didn't know it was Fat Tuesday until I was asked if I'd like to share a King Cake. I didn't...

First the Pain, then the Suffering
Most days, nearly every, I post a photo on the blog page and then begin to write. I try to choose a photo that is somehow inspirational to what I think I am about to say, or one, at least, given what...
