I have an attraction for taking photos of old objects that have a lot of wear and tear, like this wooden level that belonged to my Dad. Wood has this sense of absorbing some energy from the person that holds it (or it makes a nice story to tell), where is modern tools of plastic, […]
cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by Orin Zebest It is not going down the drains, and despite outcries of technologies being dead, syndication based ones are at the heart of what makes the web works.

Of the 30,000 photos I have uploaded to flickr in the last 9 years I’d guess more than a third were taken in my 1/3 acre yard or house. My guess might be totally off, but I have yet to find on a given day that I cannot locate something new, different. Being home this […]
Springtime at home means a steady stream of macro sots of flowers, and I am rarely disappointed to find a new way to photograph something I have done before. A key of course is a sharp lens, I doubt you get real crisp shots with a zoom lens. This one is with my trusty nifty […]

Free form wandering trying to keep with the Wolves baseline, it’s so easy to fall off the train! I listened to the song omce cause its new to me. This was with some anonymous acoustic that belongs to my girlfriend’s daughter. I kept doing the suspended 4th on the D (one my favorite chord variations) […]

Somehow I managed to do my homework ahead of time, since my intro video included the story of main main guitar, an acoustic I’ve had since age 15. I thought I would turn this inside out and talk about 2 guitars I do not have, since they have stories too. Once in a year or […]
