A Little Frayed
I will be honest. I came close to not posting today. The original material that I was working on for today’s post is far from complete despite the time that I have worked on it.

50 Hour Slam 2019, Part Two: Never Seen Anything Like It
I have not often practiced approaching a stranger to take a photograph when I wanted to get close. Like for so many other people, I find it uncomfortable.

If many of the artifacts of our existence were still present, would they know that we mostly wrote with our right hands, that we shopped … Read more Artifacts of Our Existence
Thoughts on the Best Camera
There is no best camera brand or camera model, and there is no best camera technology. The best camera is not the one that has the most impressive specifications or the one that costs the most or even is the most desired by your friends or the public. It isn’t even the one you happen … Read more Thoughts on the Best Camera
