Unlike boats, which I talked about in a previous post, I have spent a lot of time on bicycles. Maybe not as cool and vintagey as these but I did put in my share of time on two wheels. I would still be riding if I lived in a more biker friendly area, but I’ll save that story for later.

Like a song
This image came together very much like a recorded song. When you listen to a recorded song you are hearing the final product put together from multiple parts. From the notes, chords, and melody played by various instruments and singers. The choice of instruments, amplifiers, microphones, reverbs, effects, etc. all play a role in the sound. Then the recording process…
A boating life
As a landlubber here in Pennsylvania, my experiences with boats have been few and far between. I could probably count on one hand the number of times I have ben on a boat. There was the inflatable raft I bought at Kmart as a teenager to float down a local creek for a scene in a super-8 film project. That excursion lasted…
Simple
Since I am taking a bit of a holiday, I thought I would dig into the archives and pull out one of my favorite images from a few years back. Why is it a favorite? I have no idea. I just always liked it. It was taken near an old quarry and I guess these are temporary power poles. Like most…
Sums it up
This has been a very wet summer so far. It seems almost every day the clouds roll in and it rains, mostly in the form of a storm. Meanwhile the other side of the country is experiencing drought-like conditions. Somewhere in the USA, I imagine, the weather is being nice this summer. Maybe in Hawaii? Sounds like a good idea. This,…
One thing about rural life
They know how to extend the use of something. Broke down car? How about using it for a shed or dumpster!
Guitar$
Just wanted to give a shout out to a good friend and all around nice guy, Vic DaPra. Vic had a signing at his guitar shop, Guitar Gallery, for his new book, “Burst Believers“, this past Saturday. His book is a superb reference guide for the 1958-60 Gibson Les Paul sunburst guitar. But, to add to the party, he also had on…
Toadworks
It was a pleasant surprise to open a container at work and find this little guy sitting on a pipe. At only 2-3″ he didn’t take up much room and certainly wasn’t in the way. I thought the orange background was different enough from the usual toad photos to grab a portrait. He posed for a short while but eventually got nervous…
A tiger and a dragon walk into a bar…
Just a continuation of yesterdays post. This time in color!!
A fox and a rabbit walk into a bar…
And that could possibly happen when the Anthrocon convention is in Pittsburgh. It has become an annual summer treat to see all of the furry critters and other “characters” walking around. Their convention is serious business for them but a bit of a spectacle for the rest of us. But they seem to enjoy Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh enjoys them. I know all…
