Mythos is a Greek word, meaning story, or legend. And, every culture has stories, or myths or legends, attempting to explain the forming of the Earth, and animals and man. Science attempts the same thing. Does it not follow that science, then, is myth?

A few weeks ago, I commented on a story about the Copyright Royalty Board sticking it to non-traditional broadcasters with regards to music royalties, setting rules that would force internet and cellular “radio stations” to pay up to 300% more than traditional over-the-air broadcasters.
Fortunately, there are some in congress who have some common sense.

I finally got around to ordering/downloading/installing Adobe’s Lightroom program. I wanted to take advantage of their $100-off introductory pricing.
After having played with the public beta versions, and even with the original trial version, I must say that the final release version is a vastly different program, at least under the skin. Loading and operating [...]

With a new camera, from Canon instead of Nikon, came the need to make a decision about new flash equipment.

I posted a few more pictures from Friday’s Brookside Gardens trip to my flickr photo stream. All my Brookside Gardens images may be seen by clicking here.
So, what lens do you think I used for this image? (Those of you who have looked at the image info at flickr can’t guess). Look at the [...]
Since it was such a gorgeous day (and since I’d just picked up a Tokina 12-24mm f/4 wide-angle zoom for the Canon), Donna and I decided to head down to Brookside Gardens after she got off work today.
In honesty, the light was mostly too harsh, but, I figured I’d go ahead a shoot. It’s not as if I [...]
