There was a little warmup for in Syracuse for our quarter slice of the Sweet Sixteen pie. I took a walk up to the Syracuse University hill because the NCAA opened the Carrier Dome for free to watch the practices for the four squads who’d reached the East Regional portion of the Sweet Sixteen. By…
To me, “A Star is Born” means a drunked-up rocker played by Kris Kristofferson doing the right/wrong/right/wrong dance with a wild-eyed optimist of a young singer played by Barbra Streisand. To a generation that came ahead of me, Judy Garland was the young singer. In the original, it was … well, you can trace the…
I’ve spotted something odd and interesting off to my right every evening when I’ve let Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle out to the backyard of the Little Bitty my dear wife Karen and I share in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. When I received the Photo 101 lesson 19 of double from Cheri, I…
As Photo 101 winds down in week four, I want to make sure I concentrate hard. You know. Keep my edge. Make sure I use these parcels of enlightenment to gain as much knowledge to make my blog photographs captured by my iPhone 6 and iPad Air as good as they can be. So I…
After our working lunch at Clark’s Ale House to discuss and take pictures for the Photo 101 lesson glass, squaredTuesday, by longtime friend Jim McKeever and I walked along South Salina Street toward his place of business, talking about this and that, like two guys on the far end of their 50s who’ve known each…
It was the words of my longtime friend Jim McKeever, the brain behind the terrific blog Irish Investigations that convinced me that signing up for Photo 101 was a good idea. So when he suggested that a working lunch to discuss a weekday assignment may be mandatory, I was two thumbs up. Lesson 17, Cheri’s…
My terrific daughter Elisabeth put her request in last week and tweaked it early yesterday, discovering that she’d been tardy by 30 minutes in the original. So I set my iPhone 6 alarm to 6:30 a.m. as a fail safe, even though I was fairly certain I’d be bright and smiling for her 7:30 arrival…
Sometimes the movie schedule isn’t the best fit for my life. Saturday, there was someplace my dear wife Karen had to be at 3 p.m., no ifs, ands or buts about it. (Hello, tax preparer.) We wanted to see “Insurgent” beforehand. And I must say, that was a good call, as the day unfolded. (Hello,…
We’re into the fourth week of Photo 101, classmates, and Michelle has instructed us to look closely at something we treasure. I pulled a couple of my golf clubs out and sat them down on my still brown lawn, perched them against the rail outside the front steps of the Little Bitty my dear wife…
Our weekend assignments in Photo 101 advise us to look back, mull, dwell, take action. This morning some thousand-plus runners in the Syracuse Half-Marathon ran through my Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood, and I took a lot of photographs with my iPhone 6. Indeed, I posted a handful already today. I think I’ll offer more,…
