About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

Knob and Tubing Wiring

This is a photo I snapped with the iPhone 5  of what's known as knob and tubing wiring. It is a system of electrical wiring that was introduced into buildings early in the electrical era. It is still found intact and being used in varying degrees in many building to this day.

This photo happened because it was simply another thing that "caught my eye". I was showing a friends house to a potential tenant and noticed this knob and tube in the attick. The light was nice and soft and so I snapped it. That's all. On another note, any followers of this blog will be aware that i have not been active here for a few months. It's hard for me to explain why other than a lack of ambition, working, maybe being a bit burned out, what ever, the reasons are multiple. It's been a long, cold, tough Winter here in Northern NY and I suppose that's a part of it too. Anyhow, I wishh all of you well.
