As avid skiers, Boston-based interior designer Jess Klein and her husband always loved the idea of ​​purchasing a Vermont getaway. They knew they’d utilize a year-round weekend retreat, hitting the slopes in the winter and exploring the verdant woods in the summer, so it seemed like a good investment too. But it wasn’t until Jess’s father-in-law decided to retire in 2017 that the couple took the leap and bought a place.

“We thought it might be a good opportunity to look for a home that he could live in and help care for, and we would come up to visit,”

Have you talked to your partner lately? Apparently, this is not just a human problem, as illustrated by the street photo I entitled “Silent Sunday”, taken two Sundays ago in the Streets of Genoa. Capturing scenes like this is for me the joy of street photography. As William Shakespeare said: “The whole world is a stage, and all the boys and girls are just players.”

Here’s a creative tip for today. Grab a camera (or your smartphone), hit the streets wherever you live and see if you can capture what might be titled

Here in Melbourne, Australia we are in Covid lock down number 4, giving me plenty of time to reconnect with my love-hate relationship with this blog! Prior to lock down it was a very busy time for shooting basketball, football, tennis and hockey. Through a local basketball club, I have established relationships with other sports photographers who are looking for some advice on shooting basketball. Check out this post 5 Tips for Photographing Basketball. Below are more suggestions for photographing basketball.

Gather round, dear readers, and attend the tale of how Doug Ford’s political rivals learned that some prominent Ontario developers (with an interest in the Greenbelt, natch) attended the premier’s daughter’s wedding in September.

It’s kind of a funny story.

Ford has come under heavy scrutiny in recent weeks for inviting some suspect guests to a stage-and-doe fundraising party for his daughter Kayla Ford’s wedding to police officer Mohammed Hadi.

Invitations to the $150-per-ticket party, held at the Ford family residence on Aug. 11, 2022, we were said to have requested donations of up to $1,000 for the couple, to

I turned to the runner beside me, my stomach full of anxiety.

“Why am I so nervous?? I’m not trying to get in first- there literally nothing to worry about.”

It was 4:55am on a Sunday 🥱, and I was standing with 25,000+ runners on the highway right outside of Epcot, all of us getting ready to run 13.1 miles through the Disney parks.

You may not know this about me, but I am *very* competitive person.

My wife and kids are kind enough to spoil my photography interest obsession with browsing some cool camera shops during our recent stay in Paris, France.

Here in Maryland, United States, the camera shop is an endangered species. And the few that remain are very different from those we found in Paris.

In the early 2000s, there were several camera shops in and around Baltimore that specialized in used and even collectible film cameras. I can easily walk into a physical store, talk to real people, and try out whatever camera interests me at the time. You
