Photography, Fiction, Travel, and Opinions.
It may not seem as if I'm shooting a lot of photos with my S23 Ultra, but I am. Some photos I've already shared in subject-dedicated posts (HERE and HERE, for example), and others were included alongside D7500 photos (HERE, for instance). Readers might have noticed an increase in the number of videos posted here,... Continue Reading →

When you click the link, it will open in a new window, and you have two options:1) Manually scroll through the photos by clicking the "<" and ">" symbols to the left or right of the...

With the "X" stories voting block on its last three days — and this being (Saint) Valentine's Day — I can think of no better romantic activity than spending quality time with one's loved one and reading the short stories. And then, in addition to voting for your favorite — and if you feel like... Continue Reading →
The Alphabet Challenge "P" Stories are up and some readers have already voted. While you can no longer claim the first vote, you can certainly contribute to the total. Perhaps you have the modest goal of being one of the first ten voters. If so, there is still time as — sadly — the voting... Continue Reading →
The Alphabet Challenge "P" Stories are up and running and the writers hope many readers are eagerly consuming these fine offerings and jumping at the chance to vote in this round. If you are one such reader, and if you've not already done so — please read the stories and then cast a vote for... Continue Reading →
This is a quick long update regarding my ongoing photography equipment odyssey. Some might remember my previous forays into the difficult landscape of photography equipment (HERE and HERE and probably other places . . . like HERE and HERE). Before we begin, it might be worth remembering what I currently have in addition to the... Continue Reading →
. . . but I still find stuff to do using my trusty Samsung Note 8, its camera, its stylus, Pixlr, Snapseed, and a complete lack of talent (on my part; not the Note 8). First up, a couple of doodle variations I'd done before but forgot to include in previous posts . . .... Continue Reading →
I should be transitioning to my PC as early as tomorrow (this being Saturday, here on the Big Island). However, I had worked on some photos for a phone update, so I'll use them. Warning: this will not be a long post. First, an original doodle . . . It don't look like much, but a... Continue Reading →
In lieu of better things, I gotz more Samsung Note 8/Snapseed/Pixlr stuff I can share as I continue the litany of "woe is me for I have no PC!" Say, I could make a play on Ellison's title (and hopefully not get sued) . . . I Have No PC and I Must Post. First... Continue Reading →
Still kind of busy. Also, my computer is not connected, so I'm using the wonderful WordPress app. That, for them who know me not, is sarcasm. First of all, here's a photo . . . Not sure if this will work, but all these photos are also in THIS SmugMug Gallery. Also, if the app... Continue Reading →
I felt like posting some quick stuff so I took some of the Note 8 flower photos from a few post ago and played with them using a mix of the tools I have at my disposal. The full-size photos can be seen in THIS SmugMug Gallery, but since they are overly modified, the pixel-level... Continue Reading →
I occasionally get bored . . . wait, check that. I occasionally have things on my mind and need to indulge in mindless and yet engaging activities. Some people might remember the October Flowers posts, one in color and one in B&W. Don't worry, you don't have to remember it or even look at it before engaging... Continue Reading →
This will truly be a short post . . . a couple of photos and a gallery at the bottom of the post. I've added the B&W shots to the original SmugMug gallery HERE where one can get down to the pixel level. The gallery at the bottom of this post or clicking on any photo... Continue Reading →
On any given year, readers of this blog would be treated to a slew of flower photos in posts that span the timeframe between June and October. That was the case for most years of this blog's existence with the majority of photos coming from the flower beds at what used to be our house... Continue Reading →
Have you ever had so much pent up inside that instead of producing a flood of content you end up being creatively constipated and produced next to nothing? No? . . . it must just be me, then, and when it happens, I fall back on posting a few photos and talking about random stuff.... Continue Reading →
