Attention: This is a PSA for all the photographers out there that are dumb enough to accidentally delete a bunch of their photos. I didn't think I was one of them, but turns out I was wrong.
After getting home from hiking Moosilauke, I discovered that there were about 100 fewer photos on my memory card than I expected. I scrolled back and found that the earliest photos saved on the card were from the summit. I had mistakenly deleted ALL of the photos I took on the way up.
After my initial shock and denial slipped away, panic set in. I started flying through my mental inventory, cataloging the scenes I photographed along the way. I tried to convince myself it wasn't that bad and I still had a lot of images I was happy with, but after a couple hours of dwelling over all of the compositions I lost, I decided to see if there was any way to recover the images.
I learned two things that I hope might be helpful to folks out there if you find yourself in this situation:
First, when you erase images from your memory card, they don't actually go away. Rather the card just marks the space as available to be overwritten. This means that if you accidentally erase images on your card, the most important thing to do is to stop using that memory card immediately. I didn't know this and didn't realize my mistake until it was too late.
Second, hope was not lost. There is software available that can help you recover the erased images. While the photos were buried on the card, they could still be dug up. So, like an SD card archaeologist, I embarked on an epic journey to recover my beloved long lost images. What this looked like in real life, was me just downloading an app and clicking a button. Ultimately, I was able to recover about two thirds of the one hundred missing images. All things considered, I was very happy to have only lost about 35 images.
This photo here is from the summit of Mount Moosilauke, showcasing the rime ice patterns in the foreground and looking out toward Franconia Ridge in the background. It was a very windy day and I was bundled up big time on the peak: goggles, shell with the hood up, two layers of gloves, the whole deal. I don't know exactly how I ended up deleting all those images. My best guess is that I accidentally triggered the precisely wrong commands in the menu when I was wearing my bulky gloves. I will definitely be more careful in the future, and pop in a new card in the event I make another bonehead mistake.
Over Van Dolah stables and beginning to fade, but I was finally prepared...and still managed some boneheaded mistakes...
There's always one, one pillock who thinks he knows better. This bonehead couldn't be arsed to walk over the top or use the pavement on the other side of the road, no, he decided that he would walk over the tactile bricks and squeeze along the service pavement to reach New Street station. He got an angry blast from the bus drivers horn.

Three black dogs and a beagle. our happy pack of pranksters. Mighty Milo...he's the one with his back turned...died last night in his sleep, just one month and a day after Bobo. They were the best of buds. Milo was a squirrley happy dog, as with all of them, full of love. They a will soon be all together out at Quilbilly Hollow running and playing and following the Bonehead with his nose ever to the ground.
Yes this is me, a self-portrait I took in the hallway in "our" apartment in Vienna, you can see that the haircut is quite fresh since I have a piece of paper from when I cut me while shaving
I must be in my end 30´s or something since that was the time I lived in Vienna... I wonder why no one copied this fashion?

Café Frequenters Episode 120

(letter written to Tim without any introduction)
Chapter Six!
at the very same time that Jimmy tried to turn his upper body towards the direction which was called in front until quite recently but which we now could call back!
Then he heard a mighty racket of a noise and his focus was drawn towards the Audio-shock, it sounded a bit like porcelain tiles of a white color where breaking by some outer force like a sledgehammer or a boneheads head being smacked in to a wall by an anti-fascist fighter...
His thoughts of this new problem temporarily drew all the focus from his old problem, he started to imagine what except for the previous two examples that could cause the small void-molecules of the air to vibrate in such an excited manner?
He couldn´t help thinking, that the cause to this audio-sensation could be, god forbid it: The Demon!!!
He made the following statements to himself while gravity in a continuum carried out what gravity forces often do, that is pulling him towards the ground, but this was a lesser problem right now, back to his inner statements:
* if is was the Daemon he was in a vulnerable state falling downwards the staircase
* up or down didn´t matter for the Daemon, he was how do you say it? ...a strange-matter gyroscope, he would be no less vulnerable in the state of falling!
* The Daemon was always a-top his mountain knoll gazing out in to the sunset from his elevated watchtower a top the fundamentally base earthly hill!
* The Daemon always had "an overwatch token" next to his base!
* what a Fudging Amazing chap this Daemon was, despite his singular number he always outgunned any enemy!
Then he thought!:
- Frap you Jimmy, you can´t panic, that is just what his almighty adversary wants him to do, that is panic, that is the way he used to outsmart his enemies, striking them with the utter most fear so that he didn´t have to fight!
Still Jimmy couldn´t help to slightly pee his ripped dirty pants while falling, just a small amount, but that was good thought our both mentally and physically down-falling hero (Jimmy)!
Since if he already have done that, some of the fear of doing that would fade away!
Kind of that nasty monks reasoning, sin in mass and get immunity to sin itself!
As Jimmy was falling, he noticed that it wasn´t the Daemon who was the other presence in the room, he carried out the rest of his fall in a peaceful mind...
Smack, he hit the floor with his ribs a nasty sound of between two to three ribs reached his brain before the pain, that is the nature of his acute hearing, always one step a head of the rest of his body!
Still two to three ribs was nothing, he had a vague memory of having his entire ribcage severely broken and at the same time a bleeding head while carrying an injured Smudge on his back in the jungle!
He made a temporary replacement of the bones and said to the other entity in the room...
- Oh so it was you my Left-Timorian favorite courtesan, you had me scared there for a moment I thought you were someone else!
the Left-Timorian pleasure-guy replied!
- Yes it is always hard to get it right when the booz has entered all systems in your body...
I was mainly just temporarily leaving the laminated bar to empty my little brother in the urinal, I mean you gotta respect him since he can contain so much liquid, otherwise going to the pub would be unbearable...
The Timorian didn´t get to say more...
another sound had started to make its way in to the Public Bog!
all of Jimmy´s Neckhairs was standing as stiff as the royal guard on duty! he hardly dared to turn his head to discover what he already had heard but wouldn´t even dare to think!
But he saw his friends eyes since he was in front of him and he didn´t need to turn his head to see his eyes, those Timorian eyes where full of wild and raving fear!!!!
....
Hey Tim this was the sixth chapter, what do you think?
Do you think Jimmy is to macho?
I could tone him down a bit, but I dind´t wan´t him to be a daffodil, I mean since he was in Nam and all that...
some of the writing about Jimmy I base on your character, you manner, like Butch!
how are you and your wife?
Don´d forget to name any possible fruits of your union after me, you promised... just make Johnny/johnnyella their second name if you can´t convince her!
Take care, we have to go to the cheap-pub soon again! when we both have time!
Best Wishes!

Wald Disney World, Epcot - 06/13/13
I don't usually complain about things at Disney because I like to take life as it comes, usually. But, the Disney Entertainment people seem to have entered the Twilight Zone recently. First they end a successful and popular 17-year run for Off Kilter, the Celtic rock band at the Canada Pavilion in Epcot's World Showcase; they end a popular, but dated, ride at the Norway Pavilion to be replaced with a Frozen ride (the first "character" ride in World Showcase), then they replace Off Kilter with a canned lumberjack show that was so poorly thought out and executed that I was embarrassed for the company. What is going on down there? I get that they update their shows and rides, but usually with improvements and "pluses". Whoever made these bonehead decisions may see a short-term return, but in the long run, will do much more harm than good.
Bad, bad, bad, Disney!
In Germany the color for right-wing extremist thoughts is brown. We translate it literally to „brown thoughts“ (=> braunes Gedankengut). (I translated it with „brown shit => braune Scheiße). I have no words for the attacks from right-wing militants and racists on a refugee home in Heidenau, so I could only draw a right-wing bonehead, the color brown and stick in some Nazi stamps. (They show Hindenburg and Hitler, repugnant scum)

Speaker Boner and your bonehead best friends, the tea bags...tried to drive through parks in Arizona and New Mexico but thanks to the boneheads it is not to be. At least, even traveling through Aizona, Nevada and New Mexico, the people you meet in the motels, restaurants, etc. are unanimous in their condemnation of the reactionary wing of the Republican Party....what assholes..
We were in the Los Angeles area on a short trip in August 2021. My wife gave me a pass to go to Clutters Park for a few hours. Excellent plane watching - it was good to see so many international flights back at LAX. Photography wise, the heat haze was pretty intense and I wasn't paying close enough attention to my camera settings - what a bonehead. I guess I'll need to return to LAX for more practice!
Although there are still incurable boneheads in both the dwarf and the troll society, Gnork and Shroeder finally summon up the courage to come out of secrecy.

I took these photos on a very nasty day in Istanbul. The rain moved in and continued for three days. I got sick and gave it to my wife. Our last two days in Istanbul consisted of staying in the hotel, drinking so much soup and taking a bunch of cough medicine. Not the way we wanted to end our trip. Like a dummy I went out walking again - the rain started with a vengeance. Bonehead. These photos are from the Grand Bazaar and Istanbul University area. I took these photos in mid-April 2022.

I'll count my blessings here. A pretty relaxing weekend, got to spend the day with Alex and Quinn, I got a fair amount of work done with seemingly minimal effort, so I spent the day watching football and eating pizza and wings. The picture is huge, which I think is apparent by the fact that we are watching different sides of the wall.
And then the Giants had to blow it all by losing like boneheads.
Ah well, maybe I'm growing up, in that it hurt just a LITTLE bit less than it usually does. Maybe life is starting to get a bit more "in perspective". We shall see.

ABC Television "Still The One" hot air balloon logo used for their 1979-80 fall season promotional campaign. They first used the slogan, taken from a 1976 Orleans hit single, in 1977-78, bringing it back with new lyrics and images of ABC stars riding in hot air balloons in the summer of 1979, to boast of their continued standing as America's number one TV network.
However, several boneheaded programming decisions made that season resulted in CBS retaking the number one position, and ABC could no longer claim to be "Still The One" after that.
One of the things I find myself pondering – now that I’ve been doing this photography thing for awhile – is revisiting shots I’ve done in the past and wondering how, if at all, I could improve upon them. In fact, there are a number of photos I’ve posted that I feel/think I could do better if I were to give it another go.
Take this photo for example. Ever since I realized my boneheaded ISO gaffe*, I wanted to try again. I figured there were 4 areas of improvement that would lend to a better shot:
1. *Take a “smarter” shot (i.e. eliminate the dumb mistakes): I detailed in my previous post how I had inadvertently left my ISO setting from a previous shoot at 800, therefore compromising the clarity of the image. Obviously, any pic you take with a tripod should not need high ISO. Easy fix.
2. Have Patience (and this is a big one): Earlier on, I would find myself getting excited about a shot I thought of, and want to immediately run off and shoot it, without necessarily waiting for the right conditions. In this case, I had been waiting for awhile to revisit this shot, but I knew I needed to wait for a cool front to come through in order to give me the clearest of skies. While there isn’t much air pollution in San Antonio, normal conditions tend to have high humidity and/or hazy/dusty skies which sacrifice the clarity of the air. Conditions the night of this shoot were cool and crisp, with high visibility and clear skies.
3. Use of Single exposure: For photo purists, use of double (or more) exposures is sort of a cop-out when it comes to achieving the best exposure. The last shot was a blended double-exposure – one for the sky, and one for the foreground. Here I wanted to only shoot single exposures. To assist, I used variations of both a Hitech 2-stop soft ND grad and a Hitech 3-stop hard ND grad. Earlier in the evening, when the skies were brighter, using the shade of the filters up top, and later in the evening, turning them upside down to dim the effects of the street and car lamps. (to be honest, I’m not sure which combo was used here as I took many variations and didn’t document it along the way [if only EXIF data knew which filters you used lol!]).
4. Better Equipment: since the last shot, I upgraded to full-frame.
Having said all that, I’m not convinced this shot is an improvement. What do you think? There’s something to be said for for first attempts, beginners luck, and originality.

Good Evening,
Part number II! Do you like it? I love the tones and the scene. The spring is coming and the inspiration too. So go out and start shooting and enjoy the sun! Do you think this would be good for a commercial? And if, which one? Just write a mail or leave a comment ;). And please don´t forget to check out CHRISTOPH SPRANGER. Oh by the way no flash used. Just all natural light!
Have a nice day!
Cheers!

Yet another thing we will never witness again: PRR K4s 1361 high stepping it on the main line with some yahoo hanging out of the cab.
No diesel helpers, no garish private cars like the Caritas, oh yeah it was nice. The old Pacific was in her home territory as she smoked it up through Tipton, Pennsylvania on Conrail's Middle Division on July 26, 1987.
As it turned out, she only ran for a year or so before problems arose. The restoration of 1361 was half-assed and she needed to be re-restored. After millions of dollars and over THREE decades of work had been invested, mismanagement of the re-restoration has rendered 1361 useless, and she is still in pieces at Altoona.
Due to some boneheaded decisions, this thing will most likely never steam again. I'll believe it when I actually upload photos of the re-restored 1361 after I ride behind it.
This image was shot during the recording of my part of the Epson Print Academy online experience. I was told at the time that I did not need to worry about any of the images that were captured during the taping because no finished images were going to be used. We shot this in late October which is traditionally "fog free". I set the camera up and it 3was really sunny. As we were filming and I was discussing the concept of "image harvesting" was removing the lenses fro the camera while the wind was blowing, didn't think on moment that "the wind was blowing" directly into the open camera. Just clicking a way like the happy little photo-bonehead that I can sometimes be. I get an email the til end of December from the video/editing team with a list of "still-shots" that they think will be really "neat" to add. They really wanted tha image of the rainbow and the fog and clouds that happened thing. There was only one problem: What they were describing was an event that occurred over an hour and a half. There was no one shot, and all the shots were shot at different focal lengths. Oh yeah... ALL of the files had more grit on them the a beach has grains of sand.
I "assembled" this image from the parts of none different images on the the 17in G4 laptop that would get so hot you thought it would give you second degree burns if you actually put it in your lap. I was coming home from a New Year's family get together in San Francisco while sitting in the passenger seat of a car in which the heater went out. It was 35 degrees outside and the laptop kept the car and me warm. This image is one of most defining images of the concept ExDR (Extending Dynamic Range) approach that is one of the cornerstones of my approach to capturing and creating my images.
This image was captured with a Nikon D-1X camera with a 17-35mm and a 70-200mm VR Zoom lens using the Nikon electronic file format (.Nef) Shot on Lexar Flash media. All file was post processed using capture NX 2.0 software Photoshop CS and Nik Color Efex Pro 3.
Final file is stored and scaled using Genuine Fractals.

Although she's a spy, there is a close-up photo of Darkla on the vat. And yes, Bonehead 1 and 2 are in the photo, but they are expendible. They are, after all, simply a set of clones developed from Darkla's 'Big Secret' Project.
Of course, Darkla doesn't need NEON assistance; she is ALWAYS calm and is an EXCELLENT swimmer!
Just 2 little side notes:
#1 Unfortunately, although calming, NEON can be toxic to any individual that does not possess a genetic proclivity for the alchemical realm. Fortunately, only about 1 person in 20 fails ESP-BS training due to an adverse reaction to NEON.
