Light and Breezy
Even though the room was spacious, the four of us were huddled near the far wall. I was literally backed into a corner. From there, it was tough to get the shots I needed; and if I missed them, I would not get a second opportunity. Of all the photography jobs I’d ever had, this […]

Springing Out Of Hibernation
With the exception of a few small grimy piles of snow, winter has finally loosened its death grip on Westchester County. As if Mother Nature were preening for the Spring Equinox, she took a shower last night that lasted long enough to wash away the filthy gray film of rock salt left lingering on our […]

Youthing
We are constantly being bombarded with anti-aging propaganda and the products to go along with it. There are anti-aging body lotions, anti-aging brain games…there’s even anti-aging shampoo. Shampoo?

Whether or not I’m a little bit psychic is debatable (see: Madame Fortuna Knows All), but I bet I can predict […]

White Christmas
The excitement of Christmas, and all ita wonders, can dwindle for some of us, as we age. Rather than embracing a time for rejoicing, or devotion (should one reflect on the actual meaning of Christmas), the season can become a drudge of extra chores that nobody needs to add to their overloaded agendas. Often, at this […]

Very Bad “Car-ma”
New York State has a “Lemon Law” to protect consumers if they buy a new car that seems to have very bad karma. But what if the car isn’t the problem? What if it’s really your mechanic who’s the lemon? Or what if the unthinkable happens – both car and mechanic have the worst mojo […]
