Every day I read a myriad of web sites that meet my interest. More often I post them on Facebook or Twitter. This morning an idea hit me right between the eyes: Post these links onto my Blog. Stupidly this is exactly why I started for blogging back in the late 90's. Yet when I... Continue Reading →

I don't get many chances to shoot night photography. So when I do, I have fun.
