Is this the End of Western Civilization?
Today, there is a story about the President of France wanting to "enshrine Abortion in the country's Constitution." Last year, the United States of America overturned a Supreme Court ruling that had made abortion legal everywhere, however, the US never went as far as adding Abortion to the US Constitution. That would have been a …
What is This?
Does anyone want to hazard a guess? This is a subject which I have been "chasing" for a long time, and finally caught it on my way home from work today. IT'S A WAZZUBARU!
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #269: On the Edge
What is an edge? It divides two things, or two places, from each other. Sometimes, it can divide people from each other, too. Like the term "edgy", which has come to mean something that might be too vulgar, or modern, for some people. The "water's edge", or the beach, delineates the land from the water. …

After a busy, stressful week at work (made more stressful than ever since my boss left the company this week), it is an absolute necessity to find something to recharge your internal soul-battery.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #266: Time
How do you capture time? How do you even describe time? That's a brain-breaker indeed. One of my favorite things to photograph is the wake of a boat or a ship. The boat cleaves through the water, and always leaves behind evidence of its passing. If the boat is turning, it shows you where the …
