Some Thoughts about Organized Labor

I share my thoughts about the good and the bad from labor unions. I really have a hard time understanding the concept or lack of understanding as to why so many people that unions are so beneficial.  In some cases I scan see the value but I can assure you that at the end of every day, The fat cat at the top of every union is sitting pretty. I guess the question is, Are You?

Thoughts about Dependability and Accountability

Thoughts about Dependability and Accountability

Having many hats to wear in life, and seeing things from a photographers standpoint as well as a guy who works a full time job, i am really wondering what has happened to people, our society, and why we allow an entity that is supposed to work for us pass laws that burden our well being.

My Microsoft Surface Trade in Experience

My Microsoft Surface Trade in Experience

In short,

A couple of moths ago I reached out to Microsoft to find out what I could get for a trade in on my Notebook 3. Mind you, I paid over $3000.00 grand for my system less than a year ago. Will I continue to be a dedicated surface customer or will I look at Apple for my future computer purchases.

Here Comes the Covid Train

Well....... It's a deep subject and so is the new mandates about Covid and the various variants. I share my thoughts, and how this Pandemic is affecting not only photographers, but is impacting everyone and everything and the fact that leadership no matter who's in power has failed to simply lead, and that is hurting everyone and everything. What's your take? Please share your thoughts
