A crisp North Carolina morning with light fog, light frost, interesting clouds, varied landscapes and low angled sunlight contributed to more photographic stops on our daily walk then usually.
Maggie shows an admirable amount of patience when I stop to fiddle with my iPhone making a photo, so I in turn give her all the … Read More
After two years working for an agency providing shelter and services for those in dire need I’ve been forever changed in the way I view these issues in our society. Since retiring last year, I’ve continue to offer my photographic services for this wonderful cause.
I was recently asked to produce photos concerning … Read More
“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate
I’ll admit, I’ve always discounted the “one camera, one lens” photography philosophy as a blogging project similar to the 365 projects you see across the photographic blogosphere rather then a true learning opportunity. You know, something photographer bloggers do to write about but with debatable tangible deliverables from the activity.
However, I’m reconsidering my hasty … Read More
“Out of damp and gloomy days, out of solitude, out of loveless words directed at us, conclusions grow up in us like fungus: one morning they are there, we know not how, and they gaze upon us, morose and gray. Woe to the thinker who is not the gardener but only the soil of the
Trains hold an important place in our country’s past and they still have a strong role today in transporting people and goods. They also hold a fascination for me and many others.
I’ve always felt we let out love affair with the individual automobile turn too much attention from investing and developing the much more … Read More
I decided to shift to black and white in order to perhaps change my perspective or exercise my creative brain a bit more.
Two of these photos were taken with the Olympus OM-D and the third with my Apple iPhone 4.
For this post I changed my normal file naming convention and stripped off the … Read More
Fast forward for a moment…
Hight water continues flowing over the Cooleemee River Park (The Bullhole) dam four days after heavy rain.
If you’ve got 54 sec’s to spare you can view with audio the power of the water in the video below. The first I’ve tried with the Nikon D600. This was recorded using … Read More
Not a lot of photography, or blog following, happening at the moment. It’s a mental and physical “pause” — and I’m going with the flow and doing more reading. Hence, I pull this image from the archives of last years Italy vacation.
No doubt the urge will return as will the posting — perhaps when … Read More
Maggie watching her favorite TV show, “Incredible Dog Challenge.” I never should have taught her how to work the remote. ~grin~

Putting together my selection of favorite photos for 2012 set in motion thoughts of where I’ll like my photography to take me, or me it, in 2013 — action and equal reaction.
A piece of advice I’ve often heard … Read More
Sometimes a plus can also be a minus. Those with full sized hands and previous experience with full sized D-SLR’s, may find when operating the Olympus OM-D it feels a bit small…lacking grip.
Now I’ve used my OM-D extensively and have never dropped it but I’m always aware the “grip” is not as good as … Read More
Well I finally did it. After years of starts and stops I’ve actually gathered together photos for a My Favorites album. You’ll find these photos for 2012 in the Meandering Passage Gallery here.
Inspiration helping me complete this task was gained from Mark, Monte and all the other photographers who do this each year.
Don’t … Read More
