Bright Spring Colors Are Here
Spring has arrived in full force now.
This is my main chronological listing of blog posts.
As a photographer who likes to write, the blogging platform has continued to be my favorite way to publish new material, even in 2026 when the Internet is more about ads and selling than creating original content. My website is still an independent and ad-free, and I hope to always keep it that way.
My aim is to share useful, ad-free content without clutter or sales noise. You can support this site by subscribing for free, or you can make a one time donation of any amount. Sometimes I also use affiliate links too.
I'm thrilled you found your way here. Below is a chronological list of blog posts by date with a tab for "featured posts" which are post I highlight for one reason or another. I also have an archive map that shows a list of all pages, posts, and tags in a long list. You can learn more about this site or reach out via email using the contact link in the footer.
