This is one of my favorite covered bridge photos that I’ve ever taken, the front view of the bridge leading into Quechee Village in Hartford, Vermont. She is a rather dignified structure, bold and angular. She’s seen thousands of tourist selfies, no doubt, a minor character in so many Vermont vacations. Her rich, weathered wood…

I’ve always been rather fond of covered bridges, but Dummerston Covered Bridge in particular deserved a photo edit with moody vibes. This charcoal effect I used with Corel Painter creates the kind of image that says, “I grew up in a postcard, but now I haunt it with unresolved seasonal trauma and a taste for…

These two signs on the same pole are a memorable artifact of a North Conway, New Hampshire campground that was turned into condos some years back. It’s delightful in the best kind of bizarre Americana way. What’s already a perfectly amusing sign turns into the absurd with that Corel Painter touch I’ve given it. The…

Thanks to my best friend showing me and gifting me a license of the Corel Painter 2023 program, I’ve decided to revive many photos from my past.

I’m not overly fond of Funko Pop vinyl figurines in general. But Emily already had one of the Joker, so I bought one of Harley Quinn, naturally. On a trip to Oneonta, New York, I got the Luke and Baby Yoda (Grogu) figure to complete a trio on our shelf on the porch. I’m obsessed…

As Emily got the brand-new Leica SL3-S camera yesterday, she gave me her Leica Q3. Naturally, I wanted to take something really cool with it, and I had an idea of having my vinyl kitties from Sailor Moon – Luna, Artemis, and Diana – doing various activities. Tom suggested tic-tac-toe, and I immediately gravitated to…

In early February, on a cloudy, chilly Monday, Emily Slatin and I made our way through the winding roads of Vermont to visit the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury. It’s a hidden gem of a museum, known only to Thomas because she had visited it nearly twenty years ago. It’s known best by those living…
