  • Meditation

    A quiet little place hidden on the ground floor of a very modern hotel called Aria, located on The Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, where everything stays. Well, that’s the old city. The new city is a family entertainment center. There are the sports teams, hockey, football, and soon, major league baseball. But, this isn’t…

  • Light ‘Em Up

    Light. That’s how pictures are made. It’s not even debatable until it is. Photography is Greek (No, it’s not all Greek to me) for either painting with light, or, drawing with light. That’s how it was. That’s how it is. That’s how it always will be. It will remain that way no matter how many…

  • A Study In Speed

    I’ve always like motion in photographs, well as much as I can bring to a still picture. I think it adds something to a location that speaks to the energy of the place. That’s not to say that I think a city should be photographed at full tilt boogie, but there could be a healthy…

  • Drifting

    Soft color. Gas bags. What needs to be said? Balloons make me smile. Soft, pastel colored pictures make me smile. These pictures make me smile. I think this a pretty good way to start the week and really the month. Especially after January 2023, which was a continuation of the very bad 2022. And, no.…

  • In 1925

    Riding this nostalgia thing about as far as possible, let’s discuss Las Vegas. The real Las Vegas. The old Las Vegas. The most fun Last Vegas. Las Vegas was born on May 15th, 1905. In 1925 Fremont Street (this place) was paved and called the Strip. In 1931 the ban on gambling was lifted. In…

  • Just Add Color

    This stuff should be easy. How much fun is it making pictures like these? You don’t even have to think, just see, just react and keep going. Given some of the blow back about planning and getting there and, and, and … You’d think I have no idea of what I’m doing. I’ll tell you…

  • Paris, Not Paris

    P aris, France. Paris, Texas. There are 48 places named Paris in the world. I’d list them but you’d either get bored or crazy. There is this one. Paris on Las Vegas Boulevard, or as it is commonly called The Strip. This Paris is a casino, hotel and underground shopping mall that is designed and…

  • On Independence Day

    W e’d like to celebrate today. But, we can’t. We won’t. The United States Supreme Court radically overhauled America in just two weeks. We don’t recognize what we once were. For sure, plenty of people are protesting, planning emergency rescues and some are even leaving the country. That won’t change much. Change will only happen…

  • Angles

    S unday. The middle day of a so-called long weekend. I have almost no idea of what to write. I really haven’t paid attention to the news, except for baseball. That’s very intentional. Everyone needs a break from what has become madness. Baseball is life. The season is so long that there are ups and…
