  How terribly strange to be seventyJune 16, 2020
  Simon & Garfunkel’s words have been echoing through my head. I don’t feel old, but I will readily agree that it feels strange to be seventy. Back when I first heard the song in the 1960s I thought seventy was old. I’m not so sure of that now.

  By the edge of the bayJune 6, 2020
  I walked down to the Irondequoit Bay outlet one day last week. These three are looking south from the north end of the bay. The bridge in the distance was completed in 1969. I have been over and under it many times. Two different worlds.

  Flood pumpJune 3, 2020
  The Lake Ontario and Irondequoit Bay water levels are high, but nearly as high as it has been. Hopefully the pump can sit idle this season.

  Neighborly lightJune 1, 2020
  As is my practice, I saved the last frame for home. The afternoon light was bouncing off something bright on the other side of the neighbor’s fence. I decided to try to capture it.

  Marge’s Lakeside InnMay 31, 2020
  Marge’s is a popular watering hole, especially in the summertime when her guests like to walk around the beach in their bare feet.

  Once a roadMay 30, 2020
  I walked down to the Irondequoit Bay outlet a few days ago. For part of the way I walked along the bluff with its old road markers. There were flowers everywhere.

  Overlapped FramesMay 27, 2020
  It is remarkably easy to find the Weltur film advance knob when reaching for the focus knob. There is, unfortunately, no way to wind the film back outside of a black bag.

  A Tulip for the AscensionMay 24, 2020
  The last frame on the roll of sixteen is a photograph of a solitary tulip in front of our house. It seemed an appropriate post for today, not so much for the direct symbolism as for the questions it raises.

  Still watersMay 23, 2020
  Took the Welta Weltur out last week for the first time in nearly four years. It was a dreary sort of afternoon in Durand Eastman Park, but still lovely.

  It seemed like a good idea at the timeMay 21, 2020
  This was a test roll to see how the old camera was doing and how it responded to different lighting situations. I took several photographs of this tree from the various sides and got rather different photographs.
