Marjorie Taylor Greene = MAGA Eyeliner JO Terror.
Even casual readers of my blog know that my disdain for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Q-GA) is palpable. Her consistent and vulgar attacks on Rep.

Read MoreIn honor and in glory of Ms. Ruby Hughes.
During my time in high school, it was not unusual for my classmates to have very dedicated familial forces that kept students in school under every possible method.

It seemed like, for the past few weeks, the fates have stymied my plans. Eventually, I told the fates to go kick rocks. I shall explain. I’ve had an idea to get a three-dimensional photo of riding a roller coaster. But in doing so, I risked many factors. First off, I would need a very…

My friend Matt wanted to know if I was interested in doing a baseball game this weekend, as his beloved Chicago White Sox were playing in Yankee Stadium. I looked up Yankee Stadium’s new seating plan. Yankee Stadium is one of several baseball fields that offers vaccinated and non-vaccinated sections. Well, since Matt and I…

Many years ago, when I first got involved in photography, I tried establishing my own creative niche, especially in the use of lo-fi film photography. And one of my more successful endeavors involved a concept I called “splitfilm,” where I shot two rolls of film in one camera, or I shot small-format film in medium-format…

You know what weighs at least 25 pounds? Two bowling balls A good-sized watermelon A two-year-old child Half of a bag of mulch Five bags of sugar 30 cans of soda At least two car tires Three gallons of water Two large bottles of laundry detergent A standard box of reams of paper A frozen…

All right, blog readers, gather around. The recent announcement from the Centers for Disease Control about new mask requirements has been announced.
