Coffee Table Photo Book
I’m considering putting together a small book of my photography. I want to include descriptions next to each picture. This will be my first collection. I don’t have anymore details at the moment.

Single frame: Eye Browse
Bethany Graybill, dressed in 18th-century clothing, stands in the door of a cabin with one hand by her side and the other atop a stair railing. She glanced at another photographer to her right when I was framing this shot. There is an angle in the bench leaning against a tree, its legs sticking out …
Sunset at Monarch Hill Road, Tunbridge, Vermont
This is one of my favorite spots in Tunbridge, Vermont, for a sunset. The first time I visited Vermont back in 2015, the daughter of the lady that I stayed with showed me this place. I decided to revisit this location in 2019 when I came for another visit. I had almost forgotten how to …
Use WordPress REST API to pull posts into React Native and stylize the HTML tags
Before I upgraded my React Native version to the latest, the react-native-render-html node module was working fine. After upgrading node.js, React Native, and Expo to the latest, it threw errors. At first I thought WordPress was the problem and I tried to solve it by coding a WordPress plugin to strip the HTML tags from …

Breakthrough
Yesterday I was itching to leave the house for a short afternoon photo trip. But I was also working on a church app for a couple days and I had reached another roadblock where I could not get through. I started this React Native app, for iOS and Android, close to the end of 2020. …
Bernie
Sunday afternoon I was talking it over with Hutch about my thoughts, over a span of four weeks, to take pictures at my friend’s delayed retirement service and the after-service meet-and-greet. I said to him that I had decided not to take pictures but then moments before the service I saw that I just wanted …
Single frame: Security Gap
It was a long drive down to Gaffney, South Carolina, riding in Michael “Hutch” Hutchinson’s white Chevy truck. We left the truck’s hood open because it overheated. It had a leak in the radiator, which I learned about days later. I retrieved my camera bag and locked the truck to follow Hutch down the street. …
Hiking Badin Lake Trail in Uwharrie National Forest
Last week I drove an hour and forty minutes north to Troy, North Carolina, to reach Uwharrie National Forest. Along the way, all on back roads, I saw many old barns and houses I could have stopped to photograph. A friend had just hiked a portion of the Badin Lake Trail in the last week, …

Single frame: Eaton’s Sugarhouse
It was my first time visiting South Royalton, Vermont. My friend drove me around the town and we were returning from Cockadoodle Pizza Cafe in Bethel. As we rounded the corner heading back into South Royalton on Route 14, I saw Eaton’s Sugarhouse’s rustic exterior wood slats for the first time as he spoke about …
Yellow-orange sky
I’m borrowing a Fujifilm X100S camera for the week to see if I like it. I want to try Fuji film simulation recipes on it and understand if I like that process. Here’s a few photos from the sky this evening without any adjustments. I had stepped outside with my smartphone to catch the light …
Single frame: The Exclusive Shot (color)
Pulled out a file from 2015 in Capture One Pro after upgrading my license. I had edited this into a monochrome at one time. This was from one of my first road trips with photographer Michael Hutchinson down to Gaffney, South Carolina. I wrestled with the colors, balance, and cropping to finally arrive at a …
Exploring the great outdoors
I went up to Boone to hike three miles over a mountain and around it. It was supposed to be a two and a half hour drive up but I somehow made good time and arrived in two hours. My friend and I just returned from having brisket and pulled pork for lunch at Pedalin’ …
Update to PHP 8.0 on Ubuntu 20.04 on Digital Ocean for WordPress
I followed my previous tutorial until I had to use these additional commands to continue. There was a DOS installation that I chose the default/recommended answers wherever I was in doubt and I chose to keep my original configuration on one of the DOS pages. The packages below I found by using the commands in …

Civil Air Patrol
My dad, Neal, had served in the United States Army in 1959 as a mathematician for calculating the launch of missiles before computers were integrated. He was a brilliant math, chemistry, and computer teacher. He also had a private pilot’s license and would take off from corn fields in Michigan and a small airport in …
