The Future of Photography. (An arrogant title for what I think 2015offers, with Tourettes Notes!)
A New Year is here. Imagine it, 2015. I expected to be able to teleport my self to work by now. Or, at least, get in my hover craft and float to work. (Should Old Acquaintance be forgot…) But, nope. Not to be. Tomorrow I board my first flight of the year to… What exotic […]

How to justify everything in life without even trying.
The Republicans have their economic theories. The Democrats some of their own. And, the President is responsible for overseeing the National Budget. There are hundreds of economic theories out there: ranging from Trickle Down Economics of the 1980’s to Economies of Scale of the 1990’s. All are wrong. Mine is right. I call my […]

Travel tip #4: Travel Tips or Be Robin Leach
I tip everyone. I tip excessively. Here’s why. In our work, servers, bellmen, valets, sky caps — even the workers at the hotel’s free breakfast — all make our jobs easier. Much easier. And, when I travel, I travel with equipment — in some cases more than 400 lbs of equipment — and lugging it […]
