Back in April 2012 I traveled to Savannah, Georgia with a couple of co-workers for a conference. Each evening we would try to take in the sights around town and out to the beach. I took a lot of pictures especially of Bonaventure Cemetery.…

Here’s some scans from a box of slides that are probably from about 1965. They feature pictures from Marineland and Sebring. I’m unsure of the exact dates. The pictures of Spirit of America reference the record breaking run in 1964.
Here are some pictures of Mouse setting on the window sill looking out on the front yard. I like the way the sunlight beams in and creates harsh shadows on her face.

I was very slow to move from film photography to digital photography. I wasn’t willing to buy into DSLR photography until I felt the quality caught up. Arguably digital photography still lacks something when compared to film but the cost, immediacy and flexibility made it easy for me to switch and not look back.…

We just had an earthquake with the epicenter just nine miles to the southeast. USGS rated it as a magnitude 3.4 and a depth of 1.7 miles.
John Stewart makes his first movie and it’s really good. It’s the true story of a Newsweek journalist that was arrested in Iran after the 2009 election. Stewart takes a very compelling story written by Maziar Bahari after spending over 100 days in solitary confinement and presents it in a beautiful and compelling film.…

Keneau Reeves is back with a movie that could be a worthy sequel to
The Matrix. It is the perfect antedote to
Interstellar. The plot is simple: They kicked his dog, now he must kill them. That’s it. Nothing too deep about it.…
