The Niagara 2016 Excursion, Part 1
Last weekend, I needed a day away from everything. I needed a moment to gather my thoughts and recharge my internal emotions. And in doing so, I brought several cameras with me. And as the film from each camera gets developed, I thought I’d share what I was able to capture. But this first photo……

This is sad. Not just because of the business closing … but because of the way it’s closing. According to the restaurant’s Facebook page, Bob & Ron’s Fish Fry in Latham is closing for good on April 30. https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpermalink.php%3Fstory_fbid%3D10154683091949119%26id%3D121638739118&width=500 I’m not happy about this.

POLL: The “Cup of Flowers” decision
Here’s my problem. I’m trying my best to create this awesome “Cup of Flowers” photo for competition season. I’ve swapped out mugs, I’ve swapped out flowers, I’ve tried different alignments and exposures. And I can’t decide which one to keep.
