My Problem With People
Read more: My Problem With PeopleMost of my posts here and on other social media platforms are pictures of places and things: buildings, flowers, trees, birds. I find all these interesting, but I also people also interest me and I often find myself looking at a person with the same intensity as I do a flower, a tree, the sky…

Recovering From Carelessness
Read more: Recovering From CarelessnessThis morning I took a few pictures of the sun rising over an area called ‘Swamp Vue.’ To do so, I put my camera on ‘manual’ and took a few shots at different settings finally getting the shot I wanted with the aperture at f/22, the shutter speed at 1/160 sec, and the ISO at…

Undressing Magnolia at Breakfast
Read more: Undressing Magnolia at BreakfastMagnolia Blossom was lying under a tree at Pomerance Park when I met her, near the ruins of Wyndygoul, the old Seton home. A chance encounter, almost didn’t see her, almost stepped on her actually. I found her interesting and took her home where I set her on my desk then proceeded to ignore, and…

Bon Voyeurage
Read more: Bon VoyeurageMost mornings I go out for a walk. Depending on weather I try to get five to six miles in on weekdays, eight to nine on Saturdays, Sunday I rest. I carry a camera in one hand, my iPad in the other. At the three mile mark (sometimes a little more, depending on my route)…

The Lost Generation (… of Shopping Carts)
Read more: The Lost Generation (… of Shopping Carts)I’m always curious about the shopping carts I see abandoned on sidewalks around town, many quite far from the stores they come from, but not close to anyone’s home or even a bus stop. I imagine in them a desire for travel… New surroundings, … To make different friends … In the end, though, they…

My eyes usually gravitate toward lost, discarded or misplaced things (toys, balls, gloves, bottles, etc.). A few days ago I found a beautifully rusted chain link. It’s a little over two inches long, a quarter inch…

Hanging Out in Bars

But what I like most is to take pictures in that special light that you really only find in a bar. People and…

Reflections
Read more: ReflectionsLike many people, I’m fascinated by the way different objects reflect light or images. Capturing this on ‘film’ hasn’t always been easy for me. Been a bit of a learning curve. A lot of times I think I’m taking a photo of what I’m seeing only to find out that either my point of view…

Getting to Know You…
Read more: Getting to Know You…Three weeks ago I got home to find a package at my door. I wasn’t too excited: we’ve all been experiencing a year of random packages showing up almost every day with stuff you ordered who knows when, while you were thinking god knows what, drinking scotch in the dark and surfing the internet (or…

Jim – a Sad Sequel
Read more: Jim – a Sad SequelMy last post was about my friend, Jim, who didn’t like being photographed. Jim died unexpectedly in his sleep yesterday morning. We all say ‘unexpectedly’ about a friend’s death, but this truly was. We had lunch at our favorite coffee shop the afternoon before and had been out later that night for our usual Thursday…
