Here's what I get: There's just text there.... no radio buttons, no drop-down choices, ...... nothing.

.... to those in the Midwest.

A couple months ago, I came across my old typewriter from high school. I had been looking for it rather half-heartedly, but was excited when I found it. My excitement was short-lived, however, when I discovered that it was electric and needed a new ribbon. The electric part didn't thrill me...

I've been wanting to take this image for years, and tonight was the perfect time to try it. With a plethora of possible leaves laying out in the yard, it just took some time to go out and find the perfect subject. It had started to rain this afternoon, so my possible subjects were quite...

Managed to find what I hope to be a good book at a bookstore in Texas. Normally ten bucks, marked down to 99 cents.

.... I no longer do commission work. Especially portraits. My next-door neighbor's 11-YO grand-daughter stopped by and begged me to take some photos of her since she was all dressed up to go to a wedding. So I grudgingly obliged her. I'm sure I'd never make it as a...

A local dairy produces a real nice (albeit expensive) ice cream mix that just can't be beat. I had resigned myself to not seeing any until next summer as they don't usually produce it after early September. But, to my astonishment, there were 4 containers in the cooler at the grocery store...

No, not the type you find at the village smithy's. Went out last night for a ride on the bike trail (with my new Terra Trike Tour II) and was facing this for about half an hour: Sorry for the low quality.... I only had my cellphone with me. I have yet to rig up a holder for my Sony a6300.

...and had 3 images accepted at the 2016 Iowa State Fair Photography Salon, two of which won an award:

.......... I decided to forsake Nikon for a 'dedicated' video camera and go with a Sony a6300. But I have partially atoned by buying an adapter so I can mount my F-lens collection.

Final edit of last nights' video session:

The difference between the 1.4 and 1.7 is exactly........... 0.3. I bought the 1.7 to go specifically with my 70-200, but rarely use it in that configuration since I got the 200-500. But as with any TC, the higher the magnification, the more IQ you're going to lose. If you pixel-peep, you...

No car crashes, nekked wimmin or belt-fed automatic weapons. Just flyin' around some of the old city landmarks this morning.

So I took advantage of a couple of work-free days and some great spring weather yesterday and took a quick Attitude Readjustment Session. Got all my backpack gear loaded up and headed to Stephens State Forest in SE Iowa for a little hiking and camping. I left home about 10:30, and stopped in...

... you may wanna watch this:

Dug deep into my archives to find some Kodachrome 25 shots from 1983 of the Wilson Arch in Utah. Taken with a Pentax MESuper and either a 17mm fisheye SMC or 20mm über-side SMC. Scanned with a Plustek OptiScan 8200i and converted to b&w with Nik Silver Efex Pro 2. Comments welcome!

Was looking for a way to utilize a pair of trek poles for use as a tripod while out in the boonies. Came up with this contraption for about half an hours' work. I call it the TrekPod. Parts needed: A small piece of 1/2-thick wood, a 1/4x20 machine bolt and nut, a short piece of paracord, a...
