Welcome to our little corner of the Internet. Kick your feet up and stay a while.
This beautiful camera was entrusted to my care by a very dear friend and I’m happy to make it part of my camera collection. The next step I want to take is finding some Kodak 127 film and taking eight exposures! I may also decide to dive into my own development processing as well, but that will be a large …
The runways were mostly clear, but the space between them was flooded with spring rains. The ducks and geese were enjoying the pop-up ponds while aircraft continued to land. Gusty crosswind landing on Runway 30: Some taxiways were flooded:
There are videos and photos all over the internet…if you know where to look. On the island of Sint Maarten (Saint Martin on the French side), the airplanes are an attraction. And it all happens on the beach at Maho Bay – steps away from the runway at Princess Juliana International Airport. To get an idea of what it feels …

The camera I decided on is the GoPro Hero 3 Silver Edition. In some ways, my delay in …

It’s a project that requires a bit of explanation, but the intent should become clear very quickly. It is a collection of objects, plants and animals that I’ve encountered. And for them, I am supplying a voice (or perspective) with short poems or conversations accompanying each photo. Empathropomorphic – it’s a compound word that I’ve defined as “the understanding and …
I thought I would share the perspective that many Chicagoans (and visitors) enjoy during the Air & Water Show weekend. Even if you aren’t at the center of action at North Avenue Beach, you can still enjoy the show from a distance. These photos are from the Museum Campus perspective.
