Sunrise Photo: Behind the Curtain
A magician never reveals the secrets of his tricks. But what about a geek with a camera?
Camera Ciao
My DSLR died a week or so ago. Well, I guess that’s a little dramatic. In reality, it suffered a fatal injury. Uh, that’s not much better, is it? OK, what really happened is that one of the electronic contacts that lets the camera communicate with its Compact Flash Card — the medium on which… Continue reading Camera Ciao
Some Pictures, Old & New (pt 2)
My recent post of images I created seemed to resonate with some folks, so I though I’d go to the well again and see what I could draw up. As before, you might have seen some or all of these on my other sites; if so, please excuse the duplication. Turtle Face – Horseshoe Bay,… Continue reading Some Pictures, Old & New (pt 2)
Some Pictures, Old & New
Here are some images I created (with one exception). I think all but one of them have previously appeared somewhere, sometime, on either my website or my Instagram page (which I’m intentionally neglecting). Sun Rays – Midland, TX Railroad track – Fort Stockton, TX Mouse skull – Midland, TX Cemetery trees – Fort Stockton, TX… Continue reading Some Pictures, Old & New

So,… Continue reading Some Favorite Photos of 2021
Random Thursday: The Pictures Edition

So, here’s your mashed-up warning sign (aren’t I clever?): I do have… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Pictures Edition
Snapshot Saturday…
…because Foto Friday was already spoken for. Plus, I’m a procrastinator. Here are some pictures I took. Where’s a pair of Wayfarers when you need them? The green tree frogs have been numerous lately (or perhaps there’s just one and he/she is someone ubiquitous). But it’s a bit rare to see one in the bright… Continue reading Snapshot Saturday…
Random Thursday: Word Guacamole
¡Hola, amigos¡ ¿Qué pasa? Hoy es el día nacional de guacamole, y es la hora a celebrar. (It’s also Mexico’s Independence Day. Coincidence? I think not.) We’ve got a lot of territory to cover, so let’s lean into it (as “they” say in H.R.). I’m sure most of you are itching to know what’s going… Continue reading Random Thursday: Word Guacamole
Random Thursday
Note: This is an abbreviated edition of RT because alert Gazette readers deserve a break. Today’s edition of the Wall Street Journal has a report about the significant increase in cheating in schools and colleges as a result of…well…many things, including the pandemic-induced shift to online classes. I was struck by the lengths that some… Continue reading Random Thursday
