Another spring season to savor. It’s time for the greening our our world. Soon in Syracuse, I say to myself on this Saturday morning. Soon. I know somebody who’s been smelling the flowers already, and I shall not be jealous on this March 21 morn. Rachel of London, Lundygirl for short in WordPress lingo, was…
I’ve been at this blogging thing for one week shy of 25 months. It seems like a week ago that I hesitatingly posted my introductory piece, a bio. With no pictures. It seems like 250 months ago that I decided to post at least once a day. Anyway, according to the math of the WordPress…
Wide open spaces. That’s what I think about when the name Anson Williams and the word landscapes are thrown around, such as Cheri did for Photo 101 lesson 15. Wait a second. Potsie Weber from “Happy Days” didn’t shoot great photographs of the world we live in. Make that Ansel Adams. I knew I was…
Frankly, as enriching and rewarding as these three weeks of Photo 101 have been to my blogging iPhone 6 skills, sometimes I read my emails that contain the assignments and sigh. Take my observation about lesson 14 and scale, for example. Michelle found a tiny toy baby on a cake at a fantastic bakery in…
Day 13 of Photo 101 brought Cheri’s instructions for us to dig deep to discover our individual moments of motion. After a business meeting in downtown Syracuse, I took a moment to stand on the sidewalk of a bridge. Down I looked onto Onondaga Creek and the Syracuse Creek Walk. On this brisk almost-Spring day…
The lesson sent for day 12 of Photo 101 sent me to my portfolio instead of my iPhone 6. See how far I’ve come under the direction of our instructions? Instead of calling it my iPad Air stash, I’ve decided I can call it my portfolio! In any case, reading Cheri’s directives about sharp lines…
A couple of months ago, a guy from Zillow by the name of Nick Elam asked me if I’d like to have some of his Zillow.com copy that’s appropriate for my Syracuse readership to run on my blog. Well … thanks for thinking of me, Nick, but … I think I’ll be writing my own…
Do I understand the guiding words from Cheri in lesson nine of Photo 101, explaining the governing principles of Warmth and lighting in her world? I do. And with the sun shining brightly this March 12 day in my Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood, I carried hope of finding something outdoors bathed in direct and…
The big daily was a constant in my life for 29 years, five months. Yes, my nickname for my former place of employment and the paper that got tossed on the steps of the Little Bitty shared by my dear wife Karen and I here in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood crossed my mind…
Moments after you are born, somebody cuts the cord. Doctor, nurse, midwife, parent or friend takes scissors to sever the line that hooked you to your mother’s life-giving nourishment. After that, we spend the rest of our days making connections. Day One of Week Two of this Photo 101 class, Cheri sent out the message…
