  • Ooops …. - July 28th, 2006
  • I apologize to my Internet Explorer readers for the snafu in the formatting after the posting of the “Bad Apples” story. It seems that in the cutting and the pasting from e-mail to WordPress, some odd-ball formats were included, but never properly closed, thus trashing the rest of the page. It’s, obviously, fixed now.
    We now [...]

    Today’s Photo Friday theme is “Portrait.”
    This image is from a shoot I did of Bob Sima, a local singer/songwriter, and lead for Stereopool. Bob wanted something a little avant garde, and also wanted to so something with the interesting stairway in the coffee shop where he was playing before the [...]

  • The Bad Apples - July 26th, 2006
  • The following three images and message came to me in an e-mail this evening. They are, at best, disturbing.
    These Pictures tell it all!
    Muslims have stated that England will be the first country they take over!
    These are pictures not shown on American TV or in American Newspapers (as they might help Bush’s war on terror), but [...]

  • Artscape 2006 - July 24th, 2006
  • We went to Artscape 2006 yesterday. It was hot & humid (what else? this is maryland in summer, after all) but we met up with friend Tony — and finally met his wife Dierdre (Hi, you guys!) pics are on Flicker page.

  • why can’t we all just get along? - July 20th, 2006
  • recent events have me applying much of my mental focus to pondering Maslow’s theory on the heirarchy of needs. I like the (albeit naive) notion that if all of our basic needs were met the world over, maybe — just maybe — we could all get along without trying to kill each other.
    So, tell [...]

  • Microsoft is finally loosening their corporate grip on the necks of PC manufacturers and users with their new, kinder, gentler approach to marketing and development. Here’s an interesting example:
    Principle I: Choice for Computer Manufacturers and Customers
    Microsoft is committed to designing Windows and licensing it on contractual terms so as to make it easy to install [...]

  • The D-SLR I’d Love to See - July 20th, 2006
  • With all the new D-SLRs out and coming out (Pentax has two new models, Nikon’s got a new one on the way), I’d like to comment on a boat I think has been missed.
    How ’bout a Pentax K1000D, a Nikon F2D or a Canon F1D? Some of you may not even recognized the lineage of [...]

  • Need aNother New Nikon Now? - July 20th, 2006
  • In just under three weeks, and hot on the heels of the D2Xs, Nikon will unveil another new D-SLR, suspected to be something of a “D80/90″, whatever exactly that is. Some of you may remember that we’ve just bought a pair of D70s’s.
    This, of course, has happened to me before. I bought the Minolta DiMage A1, [...]
