A New Project



I feel like every project is like a dream project , as long as I am learning. 

Simeon Kondev



A new project came to me when I stopped taking my car to the city and started taking the train instead , making it much easier and less worrisome. It came to me daydreaming looking out the window and realizing all the weird and interesting sites along the Hudson river. 

So I headed out at 4 am to start this new project at Hudson NY , for a little scouting before heading south this week.

Getting around town.


If I were not a physicist , I would probably be a musician.I often think in music.I live my daydreams in music.I see my life in terms of music.

Albert Einstein 














Music , like any creative endeavor , is filled with self doubt , struggle and at times , bliss . For me to get around town I think of my fret-board as Manhattan.

Amicus Usque Ad Aras / This side and the other


The passing of a friend is like the song singing in one's mind , it continues to play long after the music stops. Until we play again my friend , God's speed.

Time for upgrades

You are never to old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

C.S. Lewis



after almost 8 years of using my Nikon D700 its time to retire her from the front-lines and upgrade to something new. The first thing I did was order a bunch of batteries and a charger for the D700 since it is anyone's guess how long these will still be available , plus you just couldn't beat the prices. 

now it's just a matter of what to replace her with. the research continues. 










Where we come from is as important as where we are heading
