Kinetic Sculptures
Just a quick share this week. I know I keep hinting that I’ll review that hot shoe splitting flash cable I got the other day, but I’ve been so busy, I have hardly had the chance to use it. So, … Continued
Poetry in the Time of the Pandemic
I used to write, and read, poetry, before I stopped fearing death. That sounds a bit contradictory, but, yes, I’m actually not afraid of death. I am afraid of the pain and discomfort that generally precede death, but not the … Continued
