It’s been quite a year! So much has happened since the summer of ’17, none of which included posting…a music festival, extended-family vacation in Maine, senior photos, my Mom’s unexpected passing, we got a dog, lots of connecting with nature and humans, an excursion to Philly, a family wedding (first
February 8, 2017 8315 I missed a day – yesterday’s snow/ice presented a picturesque New England backdrop for creating images (I even had the day off!), but I totally bricked… That temperatures stayed below freezing overnight was an okay consolation – plenty of ice covered branches and such. While driving conditions
February 6, 2017 8306 No motivation Monday – I wasn’t feeling like a rockstar today, so not much in the way of motivation or effort, but I wanted to still make an image. I snapped a couple of photos of this candle with the white icicle lights in the background;
February 5, 2017 8289 Superbowl Sunday and a little outside time picking up sticks and killing time before the game. The leaf in the top image was a lone hanger-onner on the blueberry bushes. It’s crinkled, torn, and tattered, but still hangs on. From the yard to the game –
February 4, 2017 8280 I’ve been photographing things and places fairly close to the house and feel a need to go farther afield. This sense is more acute after spending Friday in Lowell, MA – the diversity in people and in architecture is stunning – Holyoke bears striking similarities to Lowell in
February 3, 2017 8268 Friday night is pizza night (well, for this week, anyway). When the kids were young, just about every Friday night was “pizza and movie” night – E would make the dough and throw together a couple of pies. Every once in a while it would be a
February 2, 2017 8248 No water. We have no water. A water main break has us feeling a little dry. Well, when life hands you lemons…why not write about it. The water has been off for going on seven hours, so the faucets and the sinks are quite dry. Admittedly,
February 1, 2017 8227 I photographed my Pentax 50mm f1.4 for an earlier post (using this Canon 50mm) and now, the roles are reversed. These images of the Canon 50mm f1.8 STM were created with the Pentax. As much as I appreciate the silky smoothness of the Pentax, I really
January 31, 2017 8220 Today marks the end of the first month of this project – 31 days down. I think I feel a sense of accomplishment, though I know I left a few on the field (to borrow a football phrase). There were certainly a few days that I
January 30, 2017 8188 Today was taxing. Attending to international student concerns and well-being following a weekend in which an ambiguous Presidential order on immigration created so many issues and questions… An afterwork meeting added to the day’s length and I arrived home close to 8:00. I wanted to get at least
