How To Deal With Writer’s Block

May 18, 2012

The title of this post may be a bit misleading because I haven’t got a clue as to how to deal with something like this. Writer’s block, that is. I do have a few tips though, but they may not be very good. I’ll discuss them toward the end of this post. I have been […]

The Appointment In Samarra by W. Somerset Maugham

May 18, 2012

I love a good short story with punch. This is one of them. For years, I’ve preached the benefits of being well read. “It’s much more than knowing literature,” I’d say. “It’s knowing where you are in the world.” They would always argue against me. They would – especially the blue collared fathers of son’s […]

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky

May 18, 2012

I’m not quite sure where to begin this review. Let me first begin by saying that an author has no duty to entertain his audience. I suppose the only duty an author has is to himself, and if someone was to read a piece by that author and not enjoy it, then that person would […]

One Of the Shortest Stories Ever Written

May 18, 2012

When wading through fits of literature, I think it beneficial to remind ourselves of why we are where we are and how we got where we “got.” I’m sure each of us have reasons for a great many thing, but I’m also sure that we can at least agree on our reading as a vessel […]

W. Somerset Maugham

May 18, 2012

I wanted to make a quick mention of something I find simply fascinating. In my previous post, I referred to “W. Somerset Maugham” as the editor of the revised translation of “The Brothers Karamazov” by Fyodor Dostoevsky. What took me aback was that W. Somerset Maugham is also the author of the fable described in […]

Macro Photography – First Effort

May 18, 2012

Macro Photography – First Effort

I received a few Hoya close-up lenses a few days ago and haven’t had a chance to really go outside to play with them. That is, until yesterday. The conditions were just okay. While I had a nice amount of light, there was a small breeze, which makes close-up photography quite difficult. Also, what I […]

The Cat, Dog, Opossum and Fox

The Cat, Dog, Opossum and Fox

Did you know that we call the cute marsupial we’ve all seen so many times an “Opossum” here in the states, but in Australia, they use the term “Possum?” Well, their version is slightly different than ours, but I find that interesting. We have a very robust relationship with wildlife ’round these here parts. For […]

Hoya Close-Up Lens Filters On 18-135mm Canon Kit Lens For Macro Photography

Hoya Close-Up Lens Filters On 18-135mm Canon Kit Lens For Macro Photography

I’m not sure if magnification lenses would be considered “filters,” but I decided to name them that because that’s what most people consider what I purchased. The box says, “Hoya Close-Up Lens Set.” I bought these to allow for additional magnification as well as being able to engage in some macro photography. These lenses let […]

Houstonia Caerulea, Daffodil, Bailey’s Gold and Purple Pansies

Houstonia Caerulea, Daffodil, Bailey’s Gold and Purple Pansies

Since the sun was shining once again and since I noticed a few more flowers had bloomed, I decided to go ahead and take a few more photographs. I am fairly confident I named these correctly, but if you know something I don’t, please tell me. I actually went back in time on this very […]

An Introduction to Macro Photography

April 14, 2012

I mentioned macro photography in my last post and encouraged those of you who don’t know what that is to do an image search for “macro photography.” Since I know for pretty much sure that none of you will do that, I decided to post a video for you. It’s a good video and really […]
