I’m Bob. I used to have a portfolio site for my photography, but the host was bought by some Russians. And I thought it would be more interesting to do a blog.

So yes, it’s another photo-a-day blog with a bit of a story for each. I think there’s a nice mix of photos. Some of them are attempts at Art; others are just snapshots of a moment.

(When I say “Each morning, I’ll post,” yes, I’m writing this in mid-April and I’ve already scheduled the first few dozen, and I hope to have the better part of 2025 scheduled by the time you see this.)

The last line of each post will include the date I took the photo and, in case you like cameras and want all the camera settings, I include those where they’re available. (Some have lost that information.) If you’re familiar with why photographers choose an aperture or shutter speed or ISO setting, it’s there for you. Other than that, there are no ads, no notifications, no emails — really just one photo a day and the shortest story I can tell about it.

I haven’t ruled out posts on other topics but I’m not thinking about them right now.

There are no comments. The point is to have a photo and a bit of the story behind it. It’s a low-maintenance site where I can not deal with what I hate about Facebook and other sites.

Very briefly: I’m between my mid-to-late sixties; I spent my first 39+ years around Boston, have lived in Chicago since late ’97, and have used cameras since grade school thanks to my father, whose photography in the ’50s and ’60s was exhibited around the country and in Europe. I have a number of cameras, from basic to professional Nikons, point-and-shoot models, thermal cameras, panoramic film cameras, and so on. I have also worked with glass in blown, fused, and neon tube forms. I love and study light and color, whether reflective, refractive, or transmissive.

The first photo is on its way. Have fun and come back as often as you like.
