Primary Election Day in Hawaii. While the wife voted absentee at the mall
last week, I always like to hit the polls. It's raining, UH has a game this
afternoon, and primaries in a non-U.S. presidential election years are
always slow... We'll see how much the Akaka/Case and 2nd Congressional
District races do for turnout.
Don’t hate me…
But I hate politics. I hate talking about it, I hate listening to people talk about it and most of all I hate the division and strife it seems to cause between perfectly rational people But since so many people asked I thought I would show my support for my candidate in this election…
Now that that’s out of the way, I wanted to say that I couldn’t be more proud of my country today. Considering that just a few short years ago our country was divided over whether or not blacks and whites should be allowed to go to the same schools, drink out of the same water fountains or even sit in the same seats on the bus. And yet yesterday we elected a black president in what was pretty much a land slide victory. Although he wasn’t my candidate, I do believe his being elected was a positive thing and I’m glad to be a witness to it. I know Mr Obama was a beacon of hope to a lot of people and I pray that if nothing else that hope brings some healing to this country and to the entire world. I’m tired of being surrounded by worry and depression.
(PS – “None of the above” does not mean I voted for Nader!)

Music & the devices we have invented to listen to it are amazing discoveries/inventions that humankind has created. I know music makes me smile. :)
In 1877 the first phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison. The phonograph was the first method of recording and playing back sound. This was Edison's first great invention. Thanks Thomas Edison you helped millions of people smile and not just on Saturdays.
First things first. I need your VOTE for this shot in the Alaska Railroad's 2022 calendar contest that is ongoing now through January 20th. If you have a Facebook account please click here to vote for this shot:

But I figured I should put this image on Flickr to since this shot is unquestionably my favorite of all time. And with it in the contest I must of course share the story behind it.
As I shared in my earlier post here from 2011, the Hurricane Gulch Bridge was my personal "holy grail" of photography in Alaska. After finally finding the spot and carving a trail in, I continued to return over the intervening five years and really got all kinds of trains in different seasons. But, the problem with my secret spot is that it is only a morning shot because you are shooting due west toward the the bridge. Getting to one of the ridges west of the bridge was simply impossible. There was no trail and to bushwhack that far and find an open spot (that may not even exist) was something that I knew I could never accomplish.
But as the years passed technology developed and "drones" started to become more and more common among my fellow photographers and railfans. In the early summer of 2016 a generous spouse surprised we with a Phantom 4. I took the time to learn how to use and and grow more and more confident and by the end of the summer I finally had the courage to risk it and try for the "THE" shot.
On Monday the 19th of September the final Hurricane Turn of the season made it's trek north from Talkeetna to its namesake bridge to turn back for the last time until the following May. The fall colors were spectacular so I made the long trip from Anchorage, hiked in my secret trail a mile off the highway, and waited. The train was late this day and I had no cell service so couldn't call the chief dispatcher and radio chatter was light.
But just before packing up I heard them on the radio and got the drone ready. Taking off from my secret camp site on the ridge was a bit challenging given the small hole in the trees above, and the flight to the other side of the bridge was a rather long and nerve wracking 2/3 of a mile. But the flight was a success and this is just one of many of shots it yielded....but unquestionably my favorite.
I had been shooting trains in Alaska for nine years at this time, and this shot was truly a dream come true! It just all came together this day. I honestly only wanted a drone for this one shot.....and I pulled it off! So no matter what I post here in the future the king has been crowned and this image will reign at the top for all time.
A large shimmering metal print hangs proudly in my house. A reminder of a day for the ages!

Old image from The People's vote March. I liked the way the sun caught the stars in her eyes. She was very vocal.
Not quite sure where exactly I made that picture (I am pretty sure of the street but not ex exact spot). It must have been during the 2023 municipal election campaign after Peter Feldmann had been voted out of office.
Olympus OM-2 and Zuiko 50mm f/1.4, Ilford Delta 3200 in Rodinal 1+25 for 9 min @ 20°C and digitalized using kit zoom and extension tubes.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
Ben's ballot came in the mail on Friday. Not sure what it will mean in the grand scheme of things in the state of Arizona, but we'll see.
This is a photo I'm re upping. I have entered it into the Canon Creative for a Cause competition. I need all to vote and hopefully it can win $25,000 for the Make a Wish Foundation, and sick little kiddies everywhere can have their wishes come true.

Coburg, Victoria
Australia voted on Saturday (3 May) and the ruling Labor Government was returned with a substantially increased majority.
There is a lot of colour and movement at our polling booths, but especially so in highly contested seats.
In the inner urban seat of Wills, which neighbours my own, the contest is between the Australian Labor Party and the Greens—and it is a pretty intense one.
Changing demographics in the southern part of the electorate has seen a once strongly working-class area gradually transform to one with a more knowledge-based population, hence the rise in support for the Greens. They made an all-out effort to win Wills from Labor with high-profile former local mayor and subsequent state leader of the party, Samantha Ratnam, running against the incumbent Labor MP, Peter Khalil.
I took this picture outside the Merri-bek Primary School in Coburg where there was a huge line up. I had spotted Peter Khalil when I arrived and then he seemed not to be there, so I assumed he had gone. On closer inspection of this picture, I found out he was still there and can be seen talking to a voter on the right-hand side of the picture between his sign and the Greens volunteer.
At the time of writing, Peter Khalil was still ahead in the count but narrowly so—things could change.
Tuesday: Peter Khalil has won Wills according to the ABC.
Dudes and dudettes,
I entered my "Dog Guitar" photo into a contest. If you feel inclined, I would be oh-so-thrilled if you would vote for me.
I think you have to have a password for Photrade, but its free to get one.
This is an image I took in Whitby back in July that fits events in history today.
It was taken during the steampunk festival in late July.

The word voted is a past tense form of the word vote. It is an action which makes it a verb. If you don't vote you don't want freedom of choice you want freedom from choice like the old song by Devo. Trump will be certain to give you freedom from choice and freedom from living in a democracy as well.
a picture almost 8 years old and i am still asking, especially for this very important 2020 election :)
