The Fork as a Mirror: A Philosophical Reflection on a Humble Tool
In the quiet clatter of a dining room, there is laughter and stories. Amid steaming plates, the fork sits silently. It is humble, metallic, and often overlooked. Yet, in its simplicity, the fork is one of the most profound symbols of modern human life. At its core, the fork symbolizes choice. Unlike the spoon, which…

The Typewriter and the Color Red: A Ribbon Through History
The typewriter, once a marvel of industrial innovation, changed the landscape of writing forever. Before the click-clack of keys echoed in newsrooms and home offices, writing was a slow, manual process. The typewriter arrived in the late 19th century. With it, thoughts were captured with mechanical precision. Every keystroke made the idea permanent in ink.…

Another case of right place wrong lens.
I set out on a wildflower adventure, as shown in my previous post about the Buttermilk Bend trail. So naturally, I grab the 70-180 macro lens, ditching the 150-600 beast in the truck. Who wants to hike with that monster, and anyways… wildflowers, remember? I get up the trial a ways, too far to turn…

Thoughts on Drone Photography.
I had a friend ask me recently if I thought photographers got mad about drone photography. Do they look at it as cheating? I know there’s definely a stigma regaring cell phones, and I get that. But I think drones are different. Not just because I use one, but because they are used in a…

Getting to know your community
Maybe you’re new to the area. Or you’ve been here a while and are still having trouble making a connection. Or you’re just passing through but have a deep interest in this quaint community you’ve stumbled upon. Some communities are tight lipped, hesitant to open up to strangers, or even people who have been around…

Howling at the moon…
Stressed at work? Howl at the moon. Stressed at home? Howl at the moon. Stressed at school? Howl at the moon. Hungry? Eat something. Thirsty? Drink some water. For everything else? Howl.
