So, I made the comment that yesterday’s picture didn’t look quite right with the horizon made truly horizontal. Then I went to work and was questioned about that statement (that it was unclear, not that I was necessarily wrong, though that’s likely too). Here’s the same picture, “properly” aligned –… Continue reading
As long as we’re on the string of pictures from in and around Lincoln Park, here’s one looking South into the city. This was taken shortly after I got the 50mm f/1.8 lens for the camera so I was running around playing with it. Took a few shots toward the… Continue reading
I have no idea why we were awake for sunrise, but we were. And, I had a tripod and my camera, so I took a few brackets sets of pictures of the sun – obviously just after sunrise and behind a cloud. I attempted some HDR compilations, but they didn’t… Continue reading
From the same 2007 airshow – I caught a series of shots of this plane doing a loop and then decided to mess with combining them into a multiple-shot series. It was more just a curiosity of mine than any real attempt to make a convincing picture. If I were… Continue reading
Since there’s no reason anyone would understand the title of this post, I shall explain. This was the rental car that Janet and I had in Colorado-Utah-Arizona.

This was from Artprize 2011. I generally like the large metal sculpture entries – the seem to fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum ranging from a plethora of craft-prize entries to the upper end of insanely detailed 30′ wide pencil drawings that have been in the works for… Continue reading
Toward the end of the first hike, we descended into the town of Vernazza allowing the vantage point for this picture. Vernazza is the second town in Cinque Terre (when heading South). I have probably a dozen pictures from the five towns that I really like. I think that the… Continue reading
This is a portion of the town of Monterosso, the Northern most town in Cinque Terre, a set of five towns on the Eastern coat of Italy. The previous afternoon had been rainy and we canned our plans to hike down into one of the towns (blind, as in no… Continue reading
Part of our Mt. Etna excursion was getting to hike around on the foothills & lava flows from the volcano. This picture does a decent job of capturing the landscape that we were hiking around in and showing the volcanic ground. I have a few others showing everything from the… Continue reading
