Photography?
What is Photography? According to Wikipedia, Photography is the science, art, application and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. That is as good as an explanation as I can give. To a journalist or street photographer, it may merely be a medium used to capture and document a scene. To a landscape photographer, it may be more of an art used to evoke an emotion. I, for example, take photographs, not pictures. Pictures are selfies and snapshots you or I may take throughout the…

Wanna Cry?
On Friday, a piece of Ransomware, called “Wanna Cry“, was unleashed on the internet worldwide. It has plagued over 150 countries at this point. It has been given the name of “Wanna Cray?, because if you get it, you’ll be crying. I have a background in IT Security, so all of my PC”s are up to date, but yours may not be.

Elainé’s Senior Photo Shoot
I was honored to do a Senior Photo Shoot for my little cousin at South Carolina Botanical Gardens this past weekend. She’ll be graduating in a few weeks and going on to College. It’s hard to believe that she is graduating high school. It seems like only yesterday, when I was pushing her around in a stroller. I am immensely proud of this young lady and wish her all the luck in the world. We are all incredibly proud of her.

New Blog?
Many of you may come to this blog from a Google search or social media link. If you read this in early to mid 2017, you may think that I’ve not been doing this long.

Several friends and I did a fairly popular podcast from 2005 to 2011. We stopped the podcast due to being burned out, I think. I don’t recall exactly why we ended it, but that seems to have been the reason. I ended the blog…

Meeting Martin McGuinness
It was a warm and dry October afternoon, a rarity in Northern Ireland, when I met Martin McGuinness in Writers Square area of Belfast. I arrived late amidst a sea of revellers, rallying against Tory cuts. After the rally finished, I shook hands and spoke to Mr. McGuinness as he and his entourage were trying to leave. He looked tired, but his smile was still as bright as ever. At first he thought I was a local, but once he realised I was an American, he humorously wanted to know what I was doing listening to a rally about Tory cuts and suggested sights to see. I said I was…
