Well, Spring has Sprung, sort of………Fighting a running battle to keep my flowers alive during multiple Spring Snow Storms…….Snow/rain mix today, but that’s Springtime along the Colorado Front Range. In the midst of some new landscaping we were hit with more snow. Below my attempt to ‘save’ my tulips and daffodils under the covers: And with…
I keep trying to finish off a roll in my Minolta x700 (28mm lens), but then a few rolls later, I don’t finish another, so I’m caught up perpetually using this camera. Olympia, WA has an art walk and parade every year. The parade is called The Procession of the Species. Its a wonderful home…
“What is this mysterious object in the sky? Why does it burn my eyes? What is this feeling on my skin? Whatever it is, it can’t be good.” Minutes pass and a memory begins creeping to the front of my mind, “Ah yes, I remember..it’s called heat. And that glowing ball…s-s-s-sun!” I wish I was…

We are having what is called “the biggest industrial fair in the world” here in Hannover, Germany. The company that pays my bills had sent me over to build the booth for our products. We are into bearings and guide systems and always looking for new customers. This year it was a little bit special…
For this weeks’ photographs I went down the centre of town to take a few pictures of the new roof over Les Halles. You may know that Les Halles has had somewhat of a troubled history in the last few decades. The covered market, which had lasted for centuries, together with the 19th century arcades,…
Week 16 is a roll that has been in my OM2S for over 3 weeks actually and is a mixture of our visit to Amy in Aberystwyth Uni then home here in the sunny Garw valley and the last shot was a test of the Tamron 35-70 f3.5 Macro that I picked up a while back. I…
It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood, A beautiful day for a neighbor, Would you be mine? Could you be mine? One of the shows that I grew up watching was Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, it’s a fantastic show, that still carries it’s wisdom even today! So with the honey garlic pulled chicken in the crockpot…
Couldn’t get out until this weekend to photograph interesting places or things, so last week I stayed close to home and worked with the Holga Special Effects Lens set.
