Photography, Fiction, Travel, and Opinions.
I've started sorting through my January 2019 photos for the next post documenting our visit to Long Beach, CA, and the subsequent Panama Canal transit cruise. This post is a small preview of what I saw on the Queen Mary, a museum and hotel anchored in Long Beach. Before addressing the lifeboat in the above... Continue Reading →
Likely a replica of the original 1929 Mercedes Gazelle Because I've not done this for a bit, I give you . . . artsification!

Upscaled 4X using Topaz Photo AI Them who read the previous post about the Johnston City Classic Car Show<<click might remember the photo of the mural. Seeing as this post is all about the details (close-ups), I figured I'd open with a closeup of that mural photo. Rather, of the hydrant in front of the... Continue Reading →
Would you believe there was a motorcycle parked in front of this mural? . . . and that the mural was shot with a wide-angle lens that distorted the perspective? Well, it's true on both counts. A little over a week ago, I found a couple of balance weights next to the wheels of my... Continue Reading →
So, back in July, we went to Kroger, and this car was in the parking lot, hence the title. It's a Dodge Charger SE, and my best guess is that it's a 1970 model (I should have checked the taillights). The "oneownerized" term comes from my go-to site when it comes to photographing cars .... Continue Reading →
Venus and the Moon — June 21, 2023 So, these first few photos illustrate why having a capable phone camera is a good thing. The day was June 21st, and I walked outside to this view. I could have gone in to get my Nikon, but I would have had to change lenses and then... Continue Reading →
1953 GMC Truck . . . but it looks better than I do. So, we were at a Farmer's Market in Carbondale (Illinois) when I spotted this vehicle. They were selling flowers, hence the license plate. Anyway, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to channel oneowner's "seeing red" series, so I snapped a few... Continue Reading →
Obviously, that's not a Nash Metropolitan. It's some random flower near where Melisa had an appointment. I took the opportunity to walk around snapping photos with the S23 Ultra. I also tried the Super Slo-Mo camera option (more tests to follow). https://vimeo.com/819307383 For reasons that escape me, Samsung changed the capture time from an already... Continue Reading →
This post documents our September 16, 2017, arrival and sojourn in Vancouver, British Columbia. It's also the continuation of my documentation of our 2017 Alaska Cruise which began in November 2017. The documentation began in November of 2017; the cruise itself was in September 2017. With any luck, I'll wrap this up this year. Anyway,... Continue Reading →

Edited to Add: the caca Block Editor's Paragraph Block is — for some probably stupid coding reason — highlighting all the text in yellow. I've tried to fix it a number of times, and I'll keep trying, but if you see the distracting and unwanted yellow highlight, please curse whoever coded the editor (I do).... Continue Reading →

It's also the continuation of my documentation of our 2017 Alaska Cruise which began in November 2017. How's that for running a bit late? Anyway, current and previous posts relating to this cruise are HERE(link). There's a gallery at... Continue Reading →
