Hey, gang- sorry it’s been so long since a post. Have had some problems with a couple of my sites but things are back up and running again. Figured I’d do a quick post to get back in the swing of things.

This weekend my wife Nicki and I were out running errands and after stopping for lunch in Southaven we decided to head down to the Hernando DeSoto River Park in the Lske Cormorant, MS area- not too far from Tunica. We had loaded Nicki’s Nikon DSLR and Sony mirrorless cameras in the car earlier and since there was a slight chance for clouds/color we decided to do a quick detour on our way home to take some shots along the Mississippi River. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

On Saturday, June 11th, 2022 my wife Nicki and I took a day trip up to Metropolis, IL for the 44th Annual Superman Celebration.

We’ve been attending for many years, and the weather was just too nice to not get out of the house. The higher gas prices had us think twice about going, but thankfully Nicki has a new hybrid that gets between 50-60mpg. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Hey, gang-

We had our first snow of the year on January 2nd…along with our first ice! Yeah, it was monkey-hat cold that day. That morning I got a message from my day job saying because of the weather the shop was going to be closed for the day. Since we were both off for the day  Nicki and I decided to get outside and play with the cameras a bit.

I used her Nikon D5100 digital SLR and she used her new Sony a7iii mirror-less camera. I also used my iPhone (which is what these shots were taken with). Our new rosebush, Audrey II (we have another we call “Audrey“) is in the front yard and had froze from the overnight freezing rain. While we were outside it was getting some sleet and snow on it, too. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

“Well, Shoot..!”- Looking For Places To Take Photos Close To Home Pt1

Hey, gang-

Nicki and I have been trying to find new places to explore and take pics of near us- either in Hernando (see Flashback Friday: Being Local Tourists pt1 – Hernando Skates) or Memphis (see Flashback Friday: Being Local Tourists pt2 – Downtown Discoveries). We’ve found a few spots for photography, but haven’t had a chance for decent sunset ones around our house/neighborhood.

Last week Nicki and I went to go get our COVID booster shots in Southaven. When we got back to Hernando we stopped to get some coffee at Coffee Central. As we left we saw saw some color in the sunset and went exploring around Hernando to see if we could find some spots that might work for sunset pics. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Hey, Ghostheads-

I hope you all had a happy Ghostbusters: Afterlife Day and weekend (Nov. 19-21) and got to see “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” on the big screen.

After seeing the movie on Friday and a full day of bustin’ Saturday afternoon fellow Memphis Ghostbuster Kevin L. Williams and I headed to downtown Memphis so we could catch Ray Parker, Jr. performing live at The Halloran Centre for Performing Arts & Education – next door to the haunted Orpheum Theatre on Main Street and Beale. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
