I’m totally skeptical when anyone screams of “election interference.” You know, the clandestine crackpot claims of fake pre-filled ballots and security-cracked election machines and all that. People who believe that stuff probably also believe that [insert wackadoodle story here]. Well, I’ve got news for you. I actually have proof of a clear-cut election interference action.…

Fernando Valenzuela made me pay attention to the game.
For me, baseball in the early 1980’s was a mixed bag. I still had some affinity to the New York Yankees (especially pitcher Ron Guidry and slugger Reggie Jackson), but I also liked the power of the Pittsburgh Pirates (heck, Willie Stargell could knock any pitch over the center field wall with ease). But how…
Read MoreThe “Be Kind” dramatizations – morality plays with hilarious acting
These come up on my YouTube feed now and again, and one in a while I’ll click on the clickbaity title to watch them. And trust me, these morality plays – which all center around being a good person, doing good things, and if you do bad things, you’re going to get your comeuppance in…
Read MoreLandmines
I’ve stepped on many figurative landmines in my life. Sometimes I know where the landmines are and I try to avoid them, but you can’t avoid every landmine. Sometimes you think you’ve stepped in a safe area, only to discover that you’ve placed your foot on an unmarked landmine and BOOM. And in that BOOM,…

I’ve used Revolog’s boutique textured film in the past. It’s a fun film to work with, as you can combine your photography skills with a little chance and a little luck – to get incredible images. Revolog pre-treats their film with everything from little spots to electrical fractals to textures, and those get transferred onto…

It’s not unusual for me to add or remove links from my personal blogroll. I’ve added a few in the past couple of months, and I’ve removed some inactive ones. It happens. But all that means is that when you visit my blogroll, you get a wonderful mix of different topics and images and thoughts.…

So last Wednesday, I hoped to capture that elusive Comet A3 that flew by our planet. And if I didn’t get it that night, my next opportunity would take place in the year 82,024. Not sure I’ll make that rain date. I drove out to the Corinth Reservoir – one of the few “dark sky”…

The Facebook post hit me like a punch in the kidney. I’m reposting it here verbatim. From the Sharon O’Neill Facebook fan page. “Kia ora everyone, Yesterday morning I lost the love of my life, Alan. His daughter Lauren and I were with him and he passed comfortably and peacefully. Alan battled for three years…

I’ve tried photo-capturing the Middle Covered Bridge in Woodstock, Vermont for a couple of years now. And I’ve had varying degrees of success. Mostly mid-line success. A couple of years ago, I tried capturing the bridge as part of a multi-bridge photo experience that was marred when I traveled down to a ravine for a…
Read MoreIf there’s a fanbase, there’s an asshole.
As a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, I’ve followed the Black and Gold through many seasons of ups and downs. And there are teams the Steelers play for whom I have great disdain. New England, for one. Denver brings up a bad memory of the only decent touchdown pass Tim Tebow ever threw in his life. Jacksonville…
