Over the Labor Day weekend My wife and I visited our favorite camping getaway - Beaver Island Retreat located on Beaver Island in Lake Michigan. I took over 1500 photos and I'll be processing them for ages 😄.

To be fair, many of them are variations and will be deleted...but I'll probably still have a few hundred left over.

Taking up photography a few years ago really opened my eyes to the beauty around me. For example, I went from not paying attention to sunrises to being mesmerized by them!

These utility towers are located in Lafayette Indiana. I took the photos last weekend (between rainstorms) from Tapawingo Park across the Wabash River in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Lafayette, IN at 200mm P2

I really enjoy the constraint of shooting with a prime lens, especially a longer focal length. On this day I was walking around with a vintage Pentax Tele-Takumar 200mm F5.6 lens adapted to my Sony a7R2...so I had no option except to keep my framing tight.

That last one has to be a guy who doesn't understand why he is so attracted to the Kens.

Von's Shops in West Lafayette Indiana near Purdue University is such a fun mishmash of odds and ends. It has been around since 1968!

On my recent visit to Casey, IL I came across a lot where several old trucks were parked. Yea!

I used my Pentax Super-Takumar 50mm F1.4 lens to take these photos. It is very soft when wide open and adds a little yellow due to the very slightly radioactive thorium in the glass. Works great when going for that vintage look!

Here's a good article about this unique lens: https://www.tsangyatho.com/post/takumar50mm14

Casey IL is known for having the "world's largest" version of several items.

I took several photos under harsh sunlight and decided they looked better with a black & white conversion.

Hey, I want to talk about something. Start a conversation on the dev community. Let’s throw it to the #php folks

Describing #ADHD as a “superpower” is a mistake. It’s one I’ve made in public talks in the past.

#ADHD, particularly in adults and girls, is:

• wildly misunderstood
• incorrectly named
• incorrectly described in the DSM
• manifests as structural and functional differences in multiple brain regions
• NOT correlated to typical measures of intelligence
• INVOLUNTARY

Last month I tagged along on a hunt to identify vernal pools. Vernal pools are seasonal wetlands covered by shallow water for variable periods from winter to spring. They may be completely dry during the summer and fall.

These photos were shot with my old Pentax Super-Takumar 300mm F4 lens manufactured between 1965 and 71. It's a beast, but I occasionally manage to get some good shots with it.

Yesterday Jewels and I hiked a fun trail at Avalanche Preserve in Boyne City, Michigan. This photo was taken at a relatively flat section, but there were lots of elevation changes with an overlook at the top.
