Kortstock 2011


Middletown's 16-year old Kortney is wise and conscientious way beyond her physical age. For her birthday party she organized a "Kortstock" weekend (aka Woodstock revisited, but w/o Janis Joplin). Live bands played, kids danced, ate pizza and spent the night camped out in tents. And instead of asking for gifts for herself she asked donations go to the Delaware SPCA.

Things like this give you confidence that the future generations are going to be just fine.

Click here for the album (as per Kortney's wish, all proceeds from the online album sales will be donated to the SPCA).

Murphy's Law is Real


If a card is going to bad on you, it's going to go at the worst possible moment. That's what happened to me in the last month, TWICE! Two (2) compact flash cards found corrupt when uploading to computer well after shooting. Fortunately, they were not paying jobs and I was able to recover most of the files with software, but the point is, don't rely on old cards.

When your cards reach a certain age, replace them. What that "age" is subjective, but when anything is used repeatedly it's going to wear out (ie, my knees, my back, etc). What's I've started doing is writing on the back side, with a Sharpie, the date of purchase. Then I rotate all my cards and start replacing the older ones.

One word of caution when buying new cards. Not all cameras will be able to use the fastest and biggest cards available today. Older cameras have their limits, so spending more on a faster card may be wasted money if your camera isn't capable of the new technology. Check your manufacturer's website for specs on card capacity. Example, my Olympus will not take a card larger than 8GB and it's write speed max's out at 15mb/sec. So, until I upgrade my camera, premium cards are a waste of money. Some, your camera hardware may not recognize and that makes it totally useless.

Bottom line - know your camera and replace your lifelines frequently.

"Meet in the Middle"

Glasgow DE

Do you recall that famous railroad picture with the golden spike? And how the train tracks being laid from the east matched up with the train tracks being laid from the west in Utah and the first transcontinental rail system was completed in 1869?

Fast forward 100+ years .... I'm guessing those early laborers came a lot closer to figuring out where that sweet spike spot would be than someone did on this cement-section of highway on image right. Looks like it my have taken three tries to get it to work.

You are now free to move about the country ...
