    There’s someone in my house.I’ve lived here for years now,So long I’ve forgotten when I first came here.I’ve been here all this time,All alone.No visitors,No vacuum cleaner salesmen,No mailmen,No paper delivery boy,No census taker.Just me,And the dust that filters through the silent sunbeamsEvery day.But today is differentFrom all the days before,Because today there is someone…

    She lives in a roomIn a house on a hill,A fantastic entrapment,A four story victorian nightmare,Paintings that watch her,Statues that stalk her,Trap door, false wall, secret corridor,Uncast shadows leading lives of their own.Melancholy are the days,The night time for wandering,In her dressing gown,Upstairs and down.She spends her time here,battling gryphon, goblin and goon.She’s lived among…

    [singlepic id=317 w=320 h=240 float=left]Here’s a shot of a bridge that I took deep in the mountains of Alum Rock in San Jose, CA. I just came across this sitting on my hard drive and realized I’d never really shared it with anyone. Now, this was taken with a Droid X, but it’s a pretty…

    I just came across an amazing photo of a scene in New York City of the Woolworths building in 1913. It’s a nice large image, so you can get in there and see some detail. It’s interesting to see the line of traffic on the street to the right side of the photo. Night Light…

    An interesting phenomenon that I’d never heard of before. Back in the 30’s, itinerant photographers would photograph many aspects of a town and it’s residents, then try to sell prints to said residents. Here is a fairly large gallery of photo’s from this time period, hosted by the University of Texas’ Harry Ransom Center. It’s…

    Greeting fellow photographers and photography lovers. This blog is not yet dead! The photography fire is being re-kindled in me due to the fact that I actually sold a picture a few days ago. I spent most of March and April working for GE in Limerick, PA, but I am home for the summer and…

    Why did they come here, the people from the stars?They certainly left behind their lives,Their loved ones,Their peace of mind,To come and experience our insanity. How did they get here, the people from the stars?Was it a rocket,Or maybe a tesseract,Or a wormhole?A fiery trip on a pressurized chariot?Comparable with nothing we can experience, to…

    I wrote a few days ago about a method of using a standard lens for macro photography. I shared only a few photos that day, but there were many shots that turned out well. I thought about going through the whole set and picking and choosing which ones to share with you, but then I…

    Jim Bryant, a photojournalist and master of photography, shares a blog article called Human Contrast. His images are fantastic, and one in the series stood out to me. It is a street scene, two young boys holding tennis rackets between their legs, face to face, discussing whatever it is that little boys talk about. To…
