Greetings from Little Havana

The real Havana has been in the news a lot these days but I, being a mere normal working American, can only come as close as the Miami neighborhood of Little Havana. Not quite the same but a pleasurable place nonetheless. My wife and I enjoyed a few days in Miami Beach, just kicking back and trying to escape the…

A quick checkup on the creepy factor

I had this post in draft for almost a week and couldn’t think of anything to say to add to the photo, so I just let it linger there for a while until I came up with something. Anything. Since it’s been a week and I had no creative writing juices flowing, I’ll just have to put up something. I took this photo…

A first for Whatipic

This photo was transfered from my Fujifilm camera to my phone via wifi and, in turn, to my blog. I know it’s sort of old tech (old tech, of course, means over a year old), but it’s a first for me. I also rarely post unedited photos, usually prefering to shoot RAW, but this is the jpeg straight from the…

A fur to remember

When the annual Anthrocon Convention is in Pittsburgh, you can be sure furry hijinks will ensue!! It’s always fun on the 4th of July weekend to go downtown and watch the furry fun. It’s too bad I am the worlds worst street photographer. Gear that I use for my normal stationary subjects photography gives me a hard time when trying to…

As I was saying

A different shot from yesterday. This is why I don’t do too much “street” photography. Not good with the people pics. But I do like the colors here (that cool/warm thing) so that’s why I’m showing it. But I think I’ll  just move along….

Bicycle parts

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 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…

Walking, shooting….and thinking

These photos were taken while walking around Charleston, South Carolina on one rainy day. There’s  something about being in a different city that puts me in tourist mode instead of photographer mode. My creativity just sinks and I end up leisurely shooting the sites. That’s not a bad thing, I guess, since the idea of the trip was just to get…
