Capri – An Alternate View – Take One

A long(ish) tale is in the works for our daytrip to Capri. Every time I think of this experience, I can taste the sour and the sweet emotions that come along with it. But I don’t want to get ahead of myself — this is one story that I don’t want to rush. Ergo, getContinueContinue reading “Capri – An Alternate View – Take One”

Pandemic Retrospective: What I’ve Lost

One of my favorite podcasts, David Tennant Does A Podcast With …, featured a conversation with Michael Sheen as part of its first season. And in the deleted scenes episode, was this little philosophical gem that has stuck with me ever since I heard it last year: I realize now, you know, that idea ofContinueContinue reading “Pandemic Retrospective: What I’ve Lost”

The Day We Didn’t Get Lost – Finale

If you’ve been following along, we intrepid travelers faced numerous obstacles in our path along the way to our Amalfi Coast home-away-from-home, but we didn’t let any of them deter us in our quest. After a long bus ride and steep climb up their driveway, we arrived just before sunset, unpacked our things in ourContinueContinue reading “The Day We Didn’t Get Lost – Finale”

Views from the Cut – Take Six

Photo taken by author A few of my gimmicks in one: experiments in symmetrical asymmetry, a shot of a shot, and black and white texture porn. Shot on Panasonic DC-ZS70, ƒ/3.3, 1/60, 4.3mm, ISO500, black and white filter.

Views from the Cut – Take Five

I’m not a car girl, but something about this artwork whispers Detroit, ever so softly in my ear. We are the motor city, after all. Shot on Panasonic DC-ZS70, f/3.3, 1/60, 4.30 mm, ISO 400.

Views from the Cut – Take Three

Photo provided by author Experiments in street photography at the Dequindre Cut. I wanted to thank this guy for helping me out, but a) pandemic, and b) he was running too darned fast. Shot on Panasonic DC-ZS70, ƒ/4.3, 1/80, 10.9mm, ISO200

The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part Three)

What wise, punctual, careful travelers were we. We were punctual – oh, so punctual. We abandoned our (gorgeous) hike mid-afternoon, resisting the urge to soak in every last moment of time wandering and taking photos. This would certainly give us plenty of time to check into our room before dusk and get to know theContinueContinue reading “The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part Three)”

Views from the Cut – Take Two

Dequindre Cut – photo provided by author According to wikipedia, these are called “concrete bridge abutments and overpasses”. I call them “scenic design”. Shot on Panasonic DC-ZS70, ƒ/3.5, 1/80, 5.4mm, ISO200. Black and white filter.

Views from the Cut – Take One

Dequindre Cut – photo provided by author Interrupting my Amalfi Coast nostalgia for a little taste of how ’bout what’s happening now. Happy to report I did the needful and sought some much-needed therapy this weekend — aka, a short drive down the road a piece to downtown Detroit, on a slightly hazy 80 degreeContinueContinue reading “Views from the Cut – Take One”
