Tagged Blog, but the rest is pretty functional!, I have to apologize to my regular followers (and thank some of them for their 'are you ok' thoughts - you know who you are).

So you’re too fat to be photographed…
I’ve never re-blogged before, but this one was too good to resist.

Globalfest 2012 – the faces…
Just this morning I read a blog about the Ku Klux Klan still being alive in the USA. While I’m saddened, I’m not naive and know racial intolerance still exists world-wide…. even here in generally accepting Canada. That said, I’d … Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong
When this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge came up, I wondered how on earth I could demonstrate ‘wrong’ with photos. Sure, blurry, underexposed, overexposed images would work, but I felt that would just be wrong. Then there were some of the … Continue reading
Weekly Photo Challenge: Dreaming – long exposures
This week’s photo challenge covers the topic of ‘Dreaming’ – focusing on long exposures (2 to 15 seconds) where “ISO and shutter speed align perfectly in an effort to give our shots an otherworldly sense of escapism.” For the longest … Continue reading

These boots were made for walkin’…
