As a photographer who has always had a camera nearby, within reach, or at least within a few steps, certainly in the next room anyway — I’ve definitely always used my 35mm and digital cameras for very personal observations and documentation.

Saturday morning…
…after fueling on the Marriott’s continental breakfast; and watching two fellows have breakfast with their phones. (click photographs for larger view) iPhone 6s …and after brewing locally roasted (by Emy J’s) Ethiopian coffee, in my decades old Morentina mocha pot, over the old butane camp stove, in the Marriott parking lot; we headed out on the country roads, in and […]
After Jurustic Park…
we drove back to Stevens Point and strolled the streets; “shopping” an antique/consignment mall, boutiques, finding single source locally roasted coffee; drinking malted milks; eating burgers; and photographing these decorations in the windows of the pet supply store. (click photographs for larger view) Ending up back at the Marriott; fairly sore from walking throughout the day. iPhone 6s, […]

Father’s day…
summer. super hot. slow choosing. not choosing. Jerome chose, “atlas bbq.” first time. last time. back to the house. lazy. hammock. run Ann’s RC boats in the pond. feed the fish. play a game of Lasso Golf. later: half hour conversation about iron cookware; and a bigoted cook.

On the road again…
…a 14 hour adventure. New terrain revealed. (right click photo to open in new tab or window for larger view) It began with an internet search for “rustic stick furniture.” Ann expressed a desire to replace the 30 year old leather set that sat in the “three seasons room.” She’d seen a rocking chair in Mineral […]
