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.

Valentines Day Photo: Love Me

I snapped this photo on a city street in Syracuse, NY and saved it for Valentines Day. Hope you all have a nice one.

Day 290: Stop Lights

So it has been in the 20+ degrees here in the North Country today. Went to buy a pair of snow tires, P205/75R14 is the size. Nobody has them in stock. Sam's club was out and said they could order them. Sears had none. A third, locally owned tire store, said the size was "An old tire size." What the hell is that supposed to mean?
They are for a 1999 Dodge Caravan. Every where you look you see these vehicles. There must be millions of them on the road. I have owned four Caravans and they all have ( or had) P205/75R14 tires.

The photo here is one that caught my eye as I sat at the red light in downtown Syracuse. I grabbed the just just a moment befor the light turned green. I was struck by the red light contrasted against the muted, greyish colors of the Winter day.

Day Fortyeight: Another Street Photo



Well, this is what I saw while out for a walk yesterday evening. The Sun had all ready gone down so the light was quite muted and soft. It works for me, I cannot say why. Otherwise, it was another great day for April.


Here is a quote from The Art Of War by Sun Tzu:


"The art of war is of vital importance to the state. It's a matter of life and death, a road to safety or ruin. Thus, it is a subject which cannot be neglected."
