This was written on my Apple Touch about 3 years ago, and it has been sitting on it ever since. Tonight whilst clearing out data I happened upon it again. I've decided to publish as is. Your responses are welcomed on any part of what I have said. It's our action and in-actions that effect... Continue Reading →
Babies, Humor & Photography
Earlier today I cringed through the first 3 episodes of Photo Finish. The show had some interesting points, but I was openly dismayed with how little pre-information was given to each participant prior to each photo-shoot. To make up for that horrific experience, I then watched the very funny yet inspirational (and, dare I say... Continue Reading →
Attraction of Quirky Photography
Quietly amused. Phil Keneen posted this quirky photograph on his blog - and now it is showing on the WordPress home page as an image and post of interest: About 2 months ago I shot a similar image, and without any knowledge of his or anyone else composing such a strange image. Here is my... Continue Reading →
4 Ways to Keep your Entrepreneurial Spirit Alive

So when the following happened last night, I wrote out the details during the train-ride home. Tonight, rather than poetry, I am writing a short story.... Continue Reading →
The Beginning of a Poet, Again
Yes, I am a poet. I don't publicize this fact all that often, and I haven't published any of my work. At least not yet. I've compiled all my poems into book-format. Back in the late 1980's, I hand-typed them all. In the early 90's I spent hundreds of hours typing them into computers and... Continue Reading →
Lunch with Mentors = Motivation and Money
Amazing writer Mellissah Smith wrote this post all the way back in 2012 that talks about a book entitled Never Eat Alone , and says so much that I wholeheartedly agree with! Her best line from the article is... "A lunch date with someone can change your outcomes." I also find that lunch with friends... Continue Reading →
Getting more Photo Opportunities!
Amused with myself and life. I said a few days back that I would have a photographic-hiatus for the next 12-18 months, all while our first child grows up. Yet it appears that cannot happen, or may not start for a while. Read on to discover how busy my photo-calendar is right now: 1. Last... Continue Reading →
