  2. BEST IN LOW

    For largest display, click on the individual photograph I thought I was pretty familiar with Low Riders, boy was I wrong! I never imagined cars like these, fortunately, these artists did and the Petersen Automotive Museum had the vision to make a major exhibit of these stunning vehicles.  The beauty…

  3. Mr. Brainwash Museum

    2024-08-25 12:16:08 UTC
    When you were a 12 year old kid and on a school field trip dragged to a museum did you ever dream it could be fun? Perhaps the Natural History museum. What kid doesn’t like dinosaurs? More likely it was a museum with paintings … boring. Mr. Brainwash Museum is…

  4. For Love of Cars

    1930 Packard Model 745 For largest display, click on the individual photograph. For pretty much as long as I can remember  I have been enthralled by design; in architecture, furniture, even stereo gear – Tanberg and Bang & Olufsen made great stuff. My favorite of course, as readers of Ramble…

  5. No Escape

    2024-07-20 13:39:03 UTC
    If you are anywhere on the East Coast, actually almost anywhere in the continental USA, you are probably experiencing some intense hot weather this July. In an effort to escape the high 90s and equivalent humidity in the metro D.C. area we hopped a 52 minute Jet Blue flight to…

    Barrett Monotype If you are familiar with the adage, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” you’ll understand the appeal of yard sales and their upscale brethren Estate Sales, consignment stores, and places like Goodwill and ReStore.  In a modest version of dumpster diving, there is also opportunity in…

  7. OLD SCHOOL PART II

    2024-05-18 11:49:23 UTC
    Something in the universe keeps drawing me back to my early days in photography; film days, the days of no autofocus or automatic exposure. My path in photography started as a teenager processing and printing my own black and white photographs in my aunt’s basement. I can easily recall my…

    For full screen display, click on the individual photograph I spend my winter in Florida. I do not lay out on the beach, play golf or have a desire to fracture my bones playing pickleball, I am always looking for something to do, especially if there are photographs involved. A…

  9. Ybor City

    2024-03-01 12:43:12 UTC
    My first visit to Tampa was only two days, and considering that I usually like to spend up to two months on trips,  it was more of a drive by. I heard about Ybor City so I took the trolly, which is free by the way, from downtown Tampa to…

  10. Elevated

    2024-02-25 13:49:51 UTC
    For largest display, click on the individual photo Back in the last century taking a dramatic photograph from a building’s rooftop wasn’t a problem.
