July 4, 2018 I finally got around to integrating the new plug in for Indigo to integrate with Alexa. Still working through a few issues trying to control items that are not actual lights. A few lights that I set up and one light scene work GREAT. Alexa, turn on Kitchen Turns on the Kitchen florescent light, and Alexa, turn […]
July brings us a few photos from Santa Cruze Natural Bridge. Like the photographs of the San Francisco bridge, these were taken on the same business trip. I wanted to drop by the place that was the birth of Santa Cruz Operation (SCO). A software company based in Santa Cruz, California which was best known for selling three Unix variants […]
This months photos are of the Blue Heron, common over most of North America. This should not be confused with a herring, or a herring choker (A native or resident of any of the Maritime Provinces but especially used in reference to people from New Brunswick. Or Norway.) The large photo Joan and I took on a bike ride […]
This month features some of my favorite photos. In Late 2016 I got an email from Jeff Griffith, the creative director for the Civil War Trust who produce a magazine ‘Hallowed Ground’. He wanted to know if I would be willing to donate one of my photos to be published in an up coming issue. This was that photo; It […]
The story behind the image, April Let us have a closer look at life. Macrophotography Macro photography is extreme close up of usually small things. First question is why is it no Micro? Well unlike economics where Macro is the whole, and micro is looking close at an individual contributor, Micro photography is extremely close (microscope). Though the photos from macrophotography, bring […]
Still do not think it is worth a generator. Looks like with still 230,000 customers out we will have another dark night, and the refrigerator will need to be cleared out, but how much is that? $200 every year or so? It is not like I would have TV Internet and heat from a portable generator, that generator would be […]
The Story behind the image The sun and moon on the eights. These three photos were picked as they went well with the main photo of the moon, which has been a photographic challenge for me for a while. Taking a photo of the moon is quite an art. This moon shot was taken on Tuesday, September 26, 2017 8:15 PM […]
The Story behind the image, February The caledar printing company, Bay Photo, choose pink for the base color of February (probably to do with the 14th). Joan and I descided that flowers would look good on this calendar, and choose one from Georgetown . Georgetown, is one of our favorite places to walk. Not only because of Georgetown Cupcake, but because it is […]

Background I have always like photography, and as a child even developed Black and White film at school, but with the cost (or complications of self) development, I moved away from deep photography, and into general picture-taking of vacations, holidays and events. When technology brought us a 8mm CamCorder with a Firewire port for digital video production, I jumped into […]
