… why, oh why? It is really, really frustrating. This website used to be hosted by a small internet service provider. As I was planning to add features, I started to feel bad. WordPress was changing and the new approach put more and more computing chores unto the severs. In days past the html code…… Continue reading Lament

Along a Scenic Route
A day of pleasant travel and stops There is a folder named LAB on my hard drive where I temporarily keep photos for post-processing. As happens to us older folk, occasionally photos there gets neglected. Last week I was looking around and found a subfolder with a single photo of a building with interesting dormer…… Continue reading Along a Scenic Route

“My Street Photography”

Rolling Exhibit
It started about a year ago when I was invited to do a presentation on street photography. Although I have admired street photographers all my life and enjoy photographing the goings on in public places and all around, I have not tagged myself “street photographer”. In fact, I have not even tagged photos in my…… Continue reading Rolling Exhibit
A pleasant thank-you
There is nothing better than an unexpected “thank-you” It was in the late 1950s, I was still taking a couple courses to finish up my engineering degree and had taken a job with a small company. For lunch the company president, most of the sales staff and the engineering department, usually about six or eight…… Continue reading A pleasant thank-you
Harbingers
Spring is coming! Here in the South it is daffodils that are the early harbingers of spring. They are up all over, including in our front and back yard. I like to photograph them, they are gorgeous and fun. As I was walking around with my smartphone a bit of color showed up next to…… Continue reading Harbingers
Street Photography
… My Way It was about a year ago that the 2021 program calendar for the Peachtree Corners Phtography Club was firmed up. There were several presentations assigned to me. Little did I know at the time that the year would shape up with many troubles and difficulties, an annus horribilis. A couple of the…… Continue reading Street Photography
Joro Spider
Hereabouts we are just overrun with Joro spiders. They are everywhere. This one decided to string its web between bushes across the walk to our front door. Day before yesterday the web was destroyed when we had some workmen working on the house. The spider quickly strung its web on one of the bushes. When…… Continue reading Joro Spider

Fun at twilight
Evening concerts on our Town Green offer challenging light and interesting sights – just what I like for twilight photography. It is my custom when arriving on the site to take a quick photo then chimp and check the settings and exposure. Camera in aperture priority at f/4 with auto-ISO and shutter set to 1/125…… Continue reading Fun at twilight
If at first …
… well then, keep trying Circumstances had me spending many days in and around Emory University Hospital recently. I only had my iPhone with me, no “big” camera, but that was not a serious limitation. It provides a wide view angle and good resolution, the photos are quite acceptable. The pedestrian bridge over Clifton Road…… Continue reading If at first …
Blogging with my phone

Some of the fancy stuff at the end of my posts will not be possible here. Maybe…… Continue reading Blogging with my phone
Remodeling
The year 2021 is starting with a major project of remodeling my sites. I had started last year but did not get very far. This time the work is proceeding better. The past few days this site was down and inaccessible. There was a major move in progress. Domain name registration was moved to a…… Continue reading Remodeling
Finishing Up
A half-year long challenge Back in July, that was in the middle of that horrid year 2020 when you couldn’t do any traveling or much else, I succumbed and accepted one of those chain-letter challenges. It came from a respected colleague and looked intriguing at first. So I decided to go along. It was simple…… Continue reading Finishing Up

Count to Four
Things were going pretty well on the development of the online exhibition that the Peachtree Corners Photography Club was getting ready. I was working “the strings behind the curtain”. Photographers were uploading their entries. I assembled the photos in an online OneDrive folder for the judges. We already had over eighty entries. The judges asked…… Continue reading Count to Four
Bragging a bit
Well, actually I am bragging a lot, as there is much to brag about. The online Peachtree Corners Magazine, in an article on an evening concert at the Town Center, included a number of my photos alongside photos by the award-wining photojournalist Jason Getz. https://livinginpeachtreecorners.com/2020/entertainment/texas-flood-concert-photo-gallery/ There is more. They also used one of my photos…… Continue reading Bragging a bit
Evening Event Photography
In photography we cherish the “golden hour” and the “blue hour”, the short period before and after sunset when the light changes to soft warm and then to gentle cool. This is, of course, also the time when many outdoor events take place such as concerts, fairs, and many public get-togethers. It has been one…… Continue reading Evening Event Photography
Tagging
The Beauty of a Tool that Works Well It started innocently enough. A friend issued a challenge to post ten photos from past travels without comments or explanations. I did so. But then I just couldn’t let it go. No explanation, no comment seemed like shortchanging the few friends who would see my posts. So…… Continue reading Tagging
