Isolation Photo Project, Day 37

Posted on 28th April 2020

I'm borrowing some words from Patrick LaRoque. When New Jersey's government official invoked shelter-in-place executive orders and shuttered most businesses in the state, and later closed state and county parks and nature trails, I fully expected a psychological impact to the pandemic. Few of my "friends" on Facebook didn’t accept the possibility: They felt it necessary to compare this life and this situation and our experiences to the experiences of long-dead World War II veterans. You have a family around…

Neighbour-woods

Posted on 21st April 2020

My township, Montgomery Township, is mostly farmland and woodland and streams and hiking trails. It's rural, with narrow country roads without sidewalks, lots of ditches and foxes and wild turkey in the backyard, and it's not unusual to see a farm tractor on the one-lane roadway. However, because of our proximity to New York City and Philadelphia, the area is considered suburban.

Today I re-discovered something new about my neighbourhood. But first things first. After lunch, I slipped a roll of Kodak Professional Ektachrome E100 35mm Color Transparency Film (36 Exposures) into my Asahi Optical Co. Spotmatic II and attached my SMC Takumar 55mm f/2 lens. The Spotmatic II was recently cleaned, lubricated and adjusted by the Pentax master Eric Hendrickson. It was a sunny day itching to try out the newly restored Spotmatic II. I had read some recent blog post…

iPhone 11 Pro 365: Day 143: M46LGL

Posted on 24th February 2020

The license plate of the asshole from another neighbourhood who parked right under the no street parking sign and who, when I asked him politely to move his vehicle to the parking area, decided to ask me for my ID. Next time I see his car, I will call the police and a tow truck.…
