Welcome to the crazy wacky world of NFTs, the new craze set to become the future of digital art. I was so intrigued when I first heard about this that I got sucked in to hours and hours of watching videos and reading blog posts to try to understand what is going on and why.

Hope is a Pied-Billed Grebe
Last night I told Ray that I thought I had run out of hope. It’s been over 2 years since I developed an auto-immune disease - one that is supposed to go away someday - and while I am ever so slowly improving, it’s been a long haul. So wasn’t I surprised this morning when I received my “poem of the day” - the first one I received since I signed up for it as a motivation … [Read more...] about Hope is a Pied-Billed Grebe

Last year I found myself in a quandary. An auto-immune disease had crept into my body causing severe shoulder and hip pain. I could no longer carry my camera gear. Even my small mirrorless kit that I use for landscape work was too much and wildlife photography seemed off the table altogether. I needed solutions! After much soul searching, and ditching the thought of … [Read more...] about Wildlife Photography with Limited Mobility Using Gitzo Systematic Tripod and Fluid Gimbal Head
