It’s after six o’clock in the morning and I only now — !! — have had a moment to upload a single photo out of the hundreds I shot yesterday in Hamilton, from both the sky and ground. It was blazing hot yesterday (30+ degrees C) and I baked myself pink because I was outside [...]

I’ve spoken about the dialect of northeast Pennsylvania before, but now I’ve got examples! I heard about this YouTube video when I was driving to Philadelphia last weekend and listening to the radio station David and I always tuned into, besides NPR.

These guys spotted me in the alley near the Magic Gardens and asked me to take their picture. I ran out of Moo mini-cards, so I had to just tell them [...]

Last night I made a brief visit to the weekly Drummers In Exile gathering to take some fire poi shots. As it does on alternate Tuesdays, this week it took place at Trinity-Bellwoods Park.
