So I've been trying to decide this for a while but I can make up my mind if I want a hood or not for this V3 of Kylo Ren. Let me know what you think.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Quick question for y'all.
Well so here's the thing. I'm really really broke right now. Yeah, it's awesome.
Anyway, people keep telling me to sell my photography.. but I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. Money is not the goal, at least right now when it comes to photography. But I was thinking about possibly starting an etsy account?
I was just wondering, would you guys see a) people buying anything, b) yourself considering buying any prints?
If so, your feedback would be oh so helpful.
So I was thinking if you guys sent me a Flickrmail saying which pictures I should put up for sale?
p.s. If I do end up doing this, I think that I'd donate 50% to Savannapoom orphanage (where I was for tho months.)
Whattya think?

“Sky, why are you downside up?”
“It’s a clever ploy Bertie. I am trying to think of an answer to a question I have and I thought that if I was downside up, all my cleverness would be sure to be in my head where it needs to be.” Said Sky proudly.
“Wow! Did you think of that on your own Sky?”
“I did Bertie, and now I have to see if it works, so I can answer my questions.”
“Could I help you do you think Sky, only it feels a bit strange talking to fluffy kneecaps?”
“Maybe Bertie, after all you are known for your cleverness. I think I’ll stay like this though just in case you fail…again.”
“What is your question then Sky?”
“The man was talking to that screen picture thing he has and this hooman who he was talking to said they were having “Lunder and Tightening”. I was trying to work out what that is, do you know Bertie?”
“Lunder and Tightening, now let me think Sky. Eeermm, no sorry can’t help you with that one but then knowing hoomans, they probably don’t know themselves.”
Just then Icecap and Posh Bear came along and sat down beside them.
“Hi chaps, can either of you two help poor Sky before all his intelligence goes to his head and comes out of his ears?” Asked Bertie.
“I can’t see there being enough of it to make that happen to Sky.” Giggled Icecap.
“Well anyway, Sky wants to know what Lunder and Tightening is, as he heard the man’s screen hooman say it earlier.”
“What was actually said Sky?” Asked Icecap.
“Well, the man said it was sunny here and the screen hooman said they had Lunder and Tightening. I had a thunk and couldn’t work out what it was Icecap.”
“I think you must have misheard Sky; I think the screen hooman actually said Thunder and Lightning.” Declared Posh Bear.
“Well, I was close, so what is that then Posh?”
“Well, up high in the air Sky, higher than even the fluffiest white ship that floats on by, there lives lots of us bears that are waiting to be able to come down here, and give love and cuddles to a hooman and try to teach them some basics in intelligence. Well, every so often the food for them is late arriving and they have rumbly tummies and because there are so many of them it is very loud and we can hear it down here. Hoomans call that thunder. Now, to alert the food place that they are hungry and have rumbly tummies the bears switch the lights on and off and that causes flashes of light down here. Hoomans call that lightning. It is nothing to worry about Sky for the flashing lights always works and the bears get their food and then the rumbling stops.”
“Gosh! You are so clever Posh, you know everything.” Said Bertie clearly impressed.
“I know.” Said Posh smiling.
“Posh, how come you are so clever and yet don’t stand downside up like me?” Asked Sky.
“I don’t think it is necessary Sky, I should get back on your feet again.”
“Oh, I thought that because of what hoomans call gravy, everything travelled downwards and this was my plan to have all my intelligence where it needs to be.”
“No Sky, you have that wrong, hoomans don’t call it gravy, they call it gritty...I think.” Chipped in Icecap.
“Actually, it is called gravity and you don’t need to worry about that yet Sky. I have a good idea, let us see how much honey we have and break open a jar or two.” Said Posh Bear.
“Sounds like a plan, I’ll just nip to the freezer thingy and get some fish.” Said Icecap before realising that Sky and Bertie were no longer there.
“They never were that big on fish.” Mumbled Icecap shaking his head sadly.
I received a flurry of emails asking questions about SWFEC late last night, February 8, 2023. In an effect to address most of them I have put together a question and answer Flickr page. Please be sure to read the description below the photo find the information. I hope the information will answer most of the questions. Thank you.
Will the eaglets be banded?
There was a question concerning banding the eaglets at SWFEC. Unless the eaglets have to be removed from the nest for some reason, we don’t believe there is any plan to band them in the nest. Banding requires a permitted licensed bander to place the bands and at this time there are no research projects that we know of that are banding.
Even wildlife facilities have to have someone in their organization certified to band birds - or have to know someone who is certified out of their organization who can band the bird for them.
Eaglets have to be a certain age in order to be banded. Too young, the band will slip off. The eaglets at SWFEC are of an age where they could be banded if they are removed from the nest.
Do eagles get hoarse?
There was an interesting question asked that related to M15’s voice. People have thought that M15’s voice might be hoarse. from all of the vocalizing to warn intruders away and calling for his mate.
Eagles don’t have vocal cords and the sound is produced in the syrinx, which is a bony chamber located in the trachea which divides to go to the lungs. The bird’s syrinx has membranes in its outer walls that vibrate when the bird vocalizes. Birds can vibrate those syringeal membranes both when they breathe in and when they breathe out.
The syrinx in birds is similar in function to our larynx, or voice box, but very different in structure. Our larynx is located just downstream from our throat at the top of our trachea (wind pipe), whereas the bird’s syrinx is located at the bottom of the trachea, where it splits into two branches, the bronchi, each branch going to one of the bird’s two lungs.
While it might be possible for a bird’s sound to alter with overuse, it is usually caused by inflammation or infection (bacterial or fungal). Please note that we don’t think either are a concern. M15 has always had a different vocal than Harriet - much more raspy in my opinion. Maybe he has been louder so we are able to hear it better?
What is Harriet’s Age?
One of the questions we are asked frequently is how old the adult eagles are. We can only go by what we know as confirmed when making an estimate of Harriet’s age. None of the adults have been banded, so there is no way of knowing when the eagles hatched - including Harriet’s first mate, Ozzie. We have a better idea of the age of M15 since his plumage and eye color were that of a newly mature eagle (5 years of age).
Based on local viewers and the property owners, the Pritchetts, who have watched the pair nesting on the Pritchetts’ property over the years, Harriet is at least 22 years of age. She has been seen nesting at this nest since 2006. We take the number of years she has been nesting at this nest and add five years since it takes approximately five years before an eagle is mature and ready to raise a family. (17 years at SWFEC nest + 5 years = 22 years)
However, there was a nest across the street that locals said she and her previous mate, Ozzie, nested and raised young. If she is the same female that nested across the street she could be in her late 20s or even 30s. But we have no hard evidence to make that determination.
The information on the nest across the street (and Bald Eagle nests across Florida) was documented by Audubon Florida’s EagleWatch program. There are no records that we know of with FWC stating it was Harriet in the other nest. None of the eagles that nested in this particular nest across the street from the Pritchetts’ property have been banded.
With as many eagles in Florida there were most likely locals observing that nest long before it failed. IF photographers had good equipment there may be photos of the eagles nesting in that location that may have IDing marks, but we are not aware of them, nor have we seen them. Without definitive proof there is no way of knowing if the same eagles nested in that location for a period of years.
We don’t want to post any information that we can’t substantiate - which is why her age is stated the way it is. We know Harriet has to be at least 22 years old, but she is most likely older - we just don’t know how old. Eagles have been known to raise young in the late 30s, so it is possible she is that old. The oldest known wild eagle died at the age of 38. However, the only reason this is known is because that eagle had been banded - most are not banded.
Regarding the nest near Donald Street - interestingly enough the present nest (SWFEC) is now listed as LE026 (it used to be LE-26B). The nest that was located near Donald Street had been listed as LE-26A and the present nest was LE-26B. Now the nest in west pasture is listed as LE026a and the present nest is listed as LEO26.
Since the nest tree that did house LE-26A is no longer standing, there is no reference to it on the Bald Eagle nest Locator map (the Audubon recently changed/updated their nest locator site).
This is the information that had been listed about the previous nest before the site was updated. Previous Nest History by Year (LE-26A Strap Number: 30-43-25-04-00005.0000 - was located across the street):
90-91 Active, 2 Fledglings confirmed
91-92 Active, 1 Fledgling confirmed
92-93 Active, 2 Fledglings confirmed
93-94 Active, 3 Fledglings confirmed

03-04 Tree observed dead 9/29/03. ES Staff inspected the tree on 9/29/03 and found the tree had been girdled by machete or hatchet. Birds had been observed in the territory but did not nest this nesting season.

05-06 Active, 1 fledgling confirmed
06-07 Inactive *Built a new nest north of Bayshore Rd (LEO26B). 2 chicks fledged at LEO26B
07-08 through 11-12 Inactive
Please remember that the observations before 2012 are from ground observations only. Members of Audubon Florida’s EagleWatch usually check nests periodically and try to maintain proper distances and make available blinds to prevent disturbance of an active Bald Eagle nest.
I would also like to post the exact quote from Dr. Heather Barron concerning Ozzie’s possible age: Quote from Dr. Heather Barron: “For age, I said 20s to 30s to them because eagles get their adult plumage and usually start mating around 5-7 years of age. So, if people have reported him in the area for 20 years, then he was at least 5, possibly older when he showed up, which could mean he is closer to 30. Either way, the average lifespan is 15-20 years, so he certainly was better than average.
Searching for Harriet.
There is concern as to what search parties have been organized to locate Harriet. We can only share what we know. The Pritchetts searched their own extended property the first weekend after Harriet flew off. We also know a few locals who have checked certain areas where Harriet has been known to frequent - with permission from any property owner. Always get permission from the property owner when undertaking any search.
There were reports of downed eagles; those areas were checked with no findings. We understand a number of local people have also conducted searches, but we have no information on where they searched.
Please remember - this is Florida. There are many areas of Florida with thick, rough vegetation which is hard to maneuver through. There are also wildlife that live in these areas; including snakes, rats, alligators, bobcats and coyote. Extreme caution should be used when undertaking any search in these areas.
Who named Ozzie and Harriet?
Another question that is asked frequently is how did “Harriet” and her first mate, “Ozzie” get their names. We asked the Pritchetts this question when the camera first came online. Their answer was the eagles were named by some local bird enthusiasts who followed the pair from the beginning. Since they were already known by the locals as “Ozzie” and “Harriet” the Pritchetts continued use those names when the cameras began streaming online.
Apparently there is still some confusion over who “named” the eagles. We asked the Pritchetts again to make sure we were sharing the correct information. From the Pritchetts: “We did not coin their names. The initial group of watchers did; way before we started even thinking about the cameras. They told us the names whenever we stopped by to talk to them and it stuck.”
Would another female raise the young at this time?
There was a question as to whether another female might be accepted by M15 at this time and help raise the eaglets. This is a question that we really can’t answer. It is totally up to M15 as to whether he might be willing to allow another eagle in the nest. And it is also totally up to a female Bald Eagle as to whether they would be interested in helping to raise young that were not hers.
There are many rogue eagles in Florida right now - especially in the areas where Hurricane Ian caused loss of habitat and nests. Each year we have observed a number of visitors/intruders in the territory, but this year there have been a greater number. Both Harriet and M15 have spent quite a bit of time warning intruders away - even giving chase.
Someone wanted to know why Harriet left. The day Harriet left the nest tree she had been vocalizing quite a bit and checking the skies. It was thought she may have left to give chase, but this is speculation on my part as to her actions. We have no idea what happened once she was out of view of the cameras. But it did appear she took flight away from the nest tree due to a perceived threat.
In nature, we can never say never. While cameras on a number of nests have given biologists more insight on what happens during breeding times, it doesn’t mean what was seen at one nest could happen at another nest. It is highly unlikely that M15 and another female would bond enough to raise E21 and E22 together at this time. Bonding is an important part of choosing a mate. Harriet didn’t accept M15 until closer to breeding season. However, that doesn’t mean it might not happen. We all wait to see how this season plays out and wish M15 continued success as he cares for his two young eaglets.
There were many unanswered questions in this house: such as why these shoes were left behind. I confess I put them on the window sill where I could photograph them better.
Everything is a question of perspective... ;o)

I had taken Suzi to her evening class and decided to try some start shots. Unfortunately the moon was out and the lights from the town where quite bright.Although the day had been clear a haze had started to appear as the warm day turned cold. Whilst watching the stars I noticed that The Great Bear (Ursa Major) was Handle down looking like a big Question mark over the town.
My latest image from the backyard is the 'Cosmic Question Mark Nebula' in the constellation Cepheus.
This target includes a large, bright emission nebula (NGC 7822), with a nebulous 'point' at the bottom (Sharpless 170).
If you're in the northern hemisphere, Cepheus is full of photographic nebulae, including this monster.
I used an ultra-portable telescope setup for this one, a wide-field refractor and a one-shot-color astronomy camera.

I need my raincloud to go away.
And I hate my hands. Sometimes they look too big, and sometimes they look too small, but they never look like the right sized hands. Does anyone else get that? I think it might just be me. This was also taken at an odd angle, with odd lighting, and so it accentuates the oddness of my hand. 14 & 15 are the questions that I have to do for biology class tomorrow.
Meaning Of Life
Meaning of Life? The Ultimate Question from the Beginning
Meaning of Life? – This has been the ultimate question since the beginning of mankind. It seems inherent in our nature to ask questions such as “Where did we come from? How did I get here? What’s my purpose on earth? Where do I go when I die? What’s the meaning of all this?”
Meaning of Life? -- The answer to this question cannot come from human intelligence or reason, but only from the Creator himself who transcends our material world. As we see in today’s naturalistic society, once we remove God from the equation, we start to lose all sense of purpose for mankind. But, if God exists, we really do have a transcendent purpose, and really do have meaning for our lives. Not only do we find day-to-day significance in our lives, but an ultimate significance through our hope in eternal life. If God exists, we remove the moral relativism that pervades today’s society, and we replace it with a standard of absolute right and wrong residing in the character of God Himself. This gives our day-to-day choices significance too. God gave us the ability to choose whether we live by His moral laws or by whatever values we assign to ourselves through our own reason. As we find, we are not mere robots placed on this earth by God. Rather, we have absolute free will to follow what He says or not. We can either recognize God as the Creator of the universe, or we can deny that He exists. We can choose to live a meaningless life or a life with absolute and eternal purpose.
This was taken at the 96th Street IRT subway station.
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for June 3, 2015.
*********************************
This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008 (which you can see in this Flickr set), and continued throughout 2009-2014 (as shown in this Flickr set, this Flickr set, this Flickr set, this Flickr set, this Flickr set), this Flickr set), and this Flickr set): a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. These are the people in my neighborhood, aka "peeps in the 'hood."
As I indicated when I first started this project six years ago, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a zoom telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me. Sometimes I find an empty bench on a busy street corner, and just sit quietly for an hour, watching people hustling past on the other side of the street; they're almost always so busy listening to their iPod, or talking on their cellphone, or daydreaming about something, that they never look up and see me aiming my camera in their direction.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep my camera switched on, and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject. Indeed, some of my most interesting photos have been so-called "hip shots," where I don't even bother to raise the camera up to my eye; I just keep the zoom lens set to the maximum wide-angle aperture, point in the general direction of the subject, and take several shots. As long as I can keep the shutter speed fairly high (which sometimes requires a fairly high ISO setting), I can usually get some fairly crisp shots -- even if the subject is walking in one direction, and I'm walking in the other direction, while I'm snapping the photos.
With only a few exceptions, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are plenty of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. There have been a few opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. This is one example, and here is another example.
The other thing I've noticed, while carrying on this project for the past six years, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... unfortunately, there was just nothing memorable about them. They're all part of this big, crowded city; but for better or worse, there are an awful lot that you won't see in these Flickr sets of mine...
I have never used anything but Google Picasa since I have been into photography. Google has discontinued it an no longer supports it. I have searched many options and have found nothing that compares. I want something to store,organize, edit and e-mail pictures from. What do you use ?

This fellow started asking me questions about my rangefinder camera, specifically, how compact the camera and lens were. I explained and physically showed him how I was "zone focusing" with the rangefinder/lens and how that enabled me to make photographs of people without intruding into their space, and often without them even knowing they had been photographed. He then asked, "could you photograph me without me noticing"? I immediately showed him this photograph on the back screen of my camera, that I had already made, without him even noticing. His ensuing expression was actually the photograph I wish I could have captured.
