Once upon a time many years ago, I took an economics class. One of the things they taught me was that there were many sauces, but only one Tabasco sauce. Hienz has 57 varieties of sauces, but no ...

Redcoat is fantastic. It’s like something from a photography book. Bravo!

In Fayette Missouri there’s a big brass observatory telescope over 150 years old. The lenses in it are as good today, as then. It’s all a matter of calculations, and a dash of magic, that produces ...

Now, that sly old Guy Parsons used to preach and preach about the dangers of shutter shock, and while I understood that shutter shock was a bad thing to have in your pictures I just never could ...

She was only 29 in 1904. She’s been dead now for about 30 years at least, more likely 50 or 60. Beside their stone is a baby’s stone from 1894, when she was 19. His family name Arnold, is on lots ...

I have a Zomie Z688, that also makes into a monopod. By far it’s the most used, because it’s lightest. But I also have a big, heavy beast that just said Amazon Basics. It’s better, because it’s way ...
