Last night I was planning on doing a few housekeeping chores on the blog structure, so I performed the standard database backup (to ensure that I could always restore back to an older version as needed,) then set to work. As is my habit now, I check the functionality after each change, confirming that nothing bad happened.
Or, so I thought. Among the changes was catching up with updates, both with
Three years ago on this very day, I wrote about a curious enigma, a potentially mystical path known as Squirrel Level Road. I’m going to encourage you to go read that post first, because it’s important to the thread. When I wrote it I was working from memory, which I pride myself on.
Or used to. You see, since that time, I’ve had to drive through the area twice, or four times if
This is going to be another observation about our visit to the North Carolina Museum of Art last month, and yes, it’s coming from one of the Great Unwashed, so feel free to skip ahead if that bothers you.
We pretty much toured the entire museum, which included the multi-faceted European section plenty of examples of the styles and techniques usually considered ‘classic’
So, this year the weekly post will be an image with a story behind it – maybe informative, maybe amusing, more likely trivial to be honest (I don’t lead an exciting life, or at least that’s what I tell people to throw them off the trail.) I guarantee that they will post at least before 8 PM so you can read them to your kids at bedtime, because I’m that helpful. Finding a
Let’s start the new year off right with a rambling collection of uninformed opinions that no one asked for, shall we?
Walkabout podcast – Modren Art
Some of the things we heard about in the audio:
Georgia O’Keeffe, of course.
My own ‘version’ of the approach. Not really intended (and even less so now,) but just happened that way.
So as I said previously, today marks the tenth anniversary of the first blog post, which is a little curious to me. I wasn’t really sure where it might lead, and had no serious expectations – though I know where I would have liked it to have gone. At the time, blogging was exceptionally popular, and there were a lot of sites out there with some interesting and thought-provoking
I know I say this far too often, but I’ve been quieter than intended recently, and there are more than a few reasons for this. The holiday season has a bit to do with it, but more it’s been my work schedule, falling right after the trip that I had to make to New York. More distinctly, though, has been no photography to speak of – between work and bad weather and
It is Friday, which means it’s time once again for the Ancient Lore post – time flies, doesn’t it? This week it’s a selection from the Science/Miscellaneous folder, and so what you’re seeing here is the eye of a horseshoe crab.
Okay, that’s a bit misleading. First off, it’s not the eye of a horseshoe crab, but just the cornea, kinda, because this is from
I have no photos to illustrate this, because I never stopped to take any – I know, a sorry state of affairs for someone who calls himself a photographer. So you’ll just have to contend with my narrative. Or, you know, skip it and go to a site with pichers…
For family reasons, I had to do a rather abrupt trip to New York, and for poor planning and gambling reasons, I ended up doing
Photography remains nonexistent and my time remains thin and sporadic, with no change to these visible in the immediate future, so for now we’ll just have some nonsense posts. It’ll get better soon, I promise.
Every once in a while, these memories come back to me, vestiges of another life – my move from central New York to North Carolina (even is it was central NC) marked
