Headed out to Detroit Shipping Company last night for the sweet song stylings of one of my favorite local spaghetti western folk duos. I used one of their songs, “Galaxy”, for the end credits of my recent directorial adventure, and almost every time I attend their shows, the lead singer gives me a shout-out, andContinue reading “Music in the D: The Whiskey Charmers”

More Beach Life
Another of my favorite shots from OBX, taken as a storm was rolling in. from my safe perch on the 3rd floor balcony. My real-time perspective didn’t have a black and white filter, but it may as well have. Shot on Pixel 6 Pro.
Beach Nights
The view from last week’s vacation. Not too shabby. Shot on Pixel 6 Pro, black and white filter.
Lines and Shadow
Ann Arbor architecture doesn’t disappoint. Shot on Pixel 6 Pro, black and white filter.
Don’t Blink
Don’t turn your back. Don’t look away. Shot on Pixel 6 Pro, black and white filter.
Post-Op
I’ve been a little out for the count due to some minor health “stuff” that led to some minor surgery “thingamajiggies”, but I hope to get back into my writing groove soon enough. Meanwhile, I leave you with my cat’s opinion on the whole affair, because that just about sums it up. Shot on PixelContinue reading “Post-Op”

Phenomenal Woman, That’s Me
It’s true — I can’t see a portrait with this kind of raw strength and sass without recalling Maya Angelou’s soul-inspiring poetry. I think Anguissola would approve — she made a bit of a career (in all senses of the words) out of understanding, depicting, and promoting herself. Is it any wonder that she madeContinue reading “Phenomenal Woman, That’s Me”
Uxor Brute
Though the natural weakness of her body hinders her from doing what only the strength of men can perform, she has a mind as valiant and as active for the good of her country as the best of us. Brutus, speaking of Portia I personally struggle to get super-geeked about the plotting and effecting ofContinue reading “Uxor Brute”
It’s Five o’clock Somewhere
Not Van Gogh’s version (although he legit painted a version, called “Terrace of a Cafe at Night” with more light and more stars — because of course he did) but its source: the work of Louis Anquetin, who was part of the Post-Impressionist group. Vincent called them artists of the “petit boulevard”, whereas the mainContinue reading “It’s Five o’clock Somewhere”
