At a time when everyone is nervous about AI tossing millions out of work, our federal tax code is being abused by Mark Zuckerberg to drive more wealth into his pockets. Our taxes support this. Our current leadership seems to support this. Other countries are pushing their Big Tech to subsidize workforce development efforts. But Zuck loves a compliant and contractor-heavy workforce he can cut at any time.

Meta is exploiting a lucrative tax break intended to support research and experimentation. Its own accountants say the gambit is risky.

A very full supermoon hung over Baltimore this week!

Along the waterfront in Baltimore’s Middle Branch, a juxtaposition of old and worn structures with new real estate developments nearby. From a few hundred feet up, the water looks like wet paint on a wall.

Took a slow walk with my son today to look for birds. Didn’t find much. So we talked about using our cameras to make a picture of something interesting around us — even if what’s around us feels boring at first. Look for the best natural light illuminating the things around you. Look for fine details, abstract or geometric patterns, or something mundane that maybe you’ve seen a thousand times - in an effort to see it anew through a lens.

It was a glorious day for a parade! The Greek Independence Day Parade was today in Greektown, Baltimore, USA. Zito Ellas! 🇬🇷

Postcard from one of my favorite birding spots around. This little wonder came to greet me as I walked with my son near the water’s edge at Middle Branch Park last weekend. I think they're delightful.

I spent a little time experimenting with duotone, a coloring technique that’s common in print publishing to save money while also achieve an artistic effect. The technique can work well with images where there is bold contrast of dark and light, where you can then introduce one color. I’m using the duotone version of the image below (left) - a rising phoenix in kite form - as my iPhone wallpaper this week to remind me of the sunny walk in the park where I took it last week. Shortly after I took it, the kite plummeted to earth and nearly hit me in the head. Its owner and I had a laugh and I told her, “I’m glad I took the pictures when I did!” There’s a metaphor or a lesson for life in there somewhere…live in the moment? Don’t stand directly under kites?

Welcome to my professional photography page on Facebook. I'm thrilled to begin sharing the images I've captured over the years in my wanderings through the Mid-Atlantic region. Hopefully you see one that strikes your fancy. (Some are available for purchase and professional framing, too.)
