A Girl and Her Dog
This is why I do what I do! So many interesting people with tons of talent that the world may never hear about. Etiquette Tip: If you take a street performer’s photograph, be sure to drop some paper in their collection container. Shot with a Nikon D700 and a 50mm/1.4 lens. ISO 800; 1/2000; f4.5…

IT by Stephen King
Welcome to Derry, Maine…the supernatural nexus of all things Stephen King (did you detect a bit of fangirl in the inflection?).When I think about the epic horror odyssey we all know as IT, I don’t think about Pennywise the clown, the iconic red balloon, or even little Georgie telling his big brother, “We all float…
