  • 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.…

  • 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…

  • What Have We Lost?

    We read a lot. Blogs. Newspapers. Magazines. Podcasts. (Listen to, not read) One favorite author is Margaret Rynkl who mostly writes for the New York Times. She covers just about everything south from a very gentle perspective. Today, she said, “You’re pointing your camera the wrong way.” She was mostly referring to the billions of…

    W hat does it mean to travel? It means a lot of things to a lot of different people. Some do it to relax by a pool in some place other than where they live. Some travel to learn. Others go on safaris. Some travel to see famous places. Some travel to eat. Others travel…

  • Out On The Road

    My WordPress buddy Tim Allen said that he hoped this worked out for me. Me too. But, what he doesn’t realize is that this better work out for me because if it doesn’t he’ll have nothing but problems since WordPress is changing everything. One helper told me that since technology has changed over the years…

  • Raindrops And Stuff

    One of my road trips during the PAD days was to Reno, Nevada. There is a story behind this adventure which I’ll tell in a bit. I drove from Albuquerque through Las Vegas and north on state route 95. I stopped along the way. I turned a two day trip into three. I made a…

  • I Lit Up From Reno…

    “I lit up from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds, Didn’t get to sleep that night Till the morning came around, I set out running but I’ll take my time A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine, If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep tonight, I ran into…

  • Not Yet… An Update.

    The  television talking heads seem disappointed. As of 9am, NOAA still hasn’t declared Isaac to be a hurricane. It can’t seem to get organized and there is a real problem even identifying the eye. At this point, maximum wind gusts are 70 mph. 74 mph makes it a weak category One hurricane. However, there is…
