I got a new lens for Christmas and happened upon some flowers leaving breakfast. I love this lens!

Sometimes I feel like a creepy old man on this site. I mean, I was older than many even when I first came here in 2005 but now I'm almost 50 years old. Hell, I'm probably as old or even older as some girls' fathers. I like to comment on sets that I like, whether because of the beauty of the model and/or for the...

Now that the temps have dropped it's much more pleasant to go out on photo hikes. A few more colder nights oughta take care of the mosquitos as well! I decided to sell my Sony gear after I picked up the Panasonic G9. I guess I'm a Panasonic fanboy at heart since all of my prior video gear was all Panasonic. So at this point...

It's not like my wife and I are clingy and/or perma-attached all the time, but, it was the first time I think since we've been married that we've been apart for that long. We'll be hitting our 11th anniversary on the 18th and we dated for almost 2 years before we got married. She went to Italy to visit a friend and she was gone...

The hurricane missed us and unfortunately wreaked havoc further south in North Carolina. I went to the beach everyday to try to catch any action. This is the only action I got! :-D

Now I'm off to hit the boardwalk again to people watch and to listen to the waves! Everyone enjoy your day!

Somehow, after being gone for so long, I somehow found myself following over 800 people! I am going to sit here for the next few hours and unfollow everyone and start over from scratch. If you see that I unfollowed you it is nothing personal! But "following" over 800 people is unrealistic and not genuine for me so I need to do this. I am...

@redlyme Thanks!  We had just moved here and made a point to walk across the street to the beach and were thrilled that it was 72 degrees in November after having just left whiteout blizzard conditions back in Chicago!

Greetings friends! It's been an interesting journey for me. I moved to Virginia Beach almost 4 years ago and my job fucking sucked because I worked for the biggest asshole in the world. So, I switched divisions and things got soooooo much better! I've been on this team for almost 2 1/2 years now and the asshole got fired last month (karma does exist) so...

Welcome back ❤

Thanks ladies!  One thing that has changed is how you can reply directly back to the commentor . . . so I'll have to figure that out!

I mentioned in an earlier post about buying my first gun. Since then, I've purchased two more. I always knew that once I bought the first one the dam would break and it would be a lifelong thing. Keep in mind, I'm not buying guns because I'm preparing for revolution or the zombie apocalypse or anything that grandiose . . . I just like different...

I'm crushed to hear that my friend Stormy Suicide passed away! I hope she's lounging on a hammock on a tropical island with an unlimited supply of good books in her afterlife! I'll miss her amazingness but every book I read I'll be thinking of her!

so sad! :(
