Pictures from the Past — ATX Wall Art
During the “aughts” and early 2010s Kim and I both worked for a software development company called ATX Forms, Inc. — “Purveyors of fine government approved forms” and software for small to medium sized tax preparation businesses. The software development, quality assurance, and other departments involved in building the application (originally written in VB6!) were…

Misty Morning on the Bridge
I went out a little early this morning to capture some photos from the Fort Street Bridge while the river was still foggy. The fog over the river gave the old power plant a ghostly appearance — fitting, given that it’s slated to be torn down to make way for the Caribou Riverfront Redevelopment project.…

Caribou in 50mm
Today I decided to wander around town for a bit and take some photos with my 50mm prime lens. I have several lenses but only one prime lens. All the rest are zoom lenses of varying focal lengths — everything from 10mm to 250mm. The prime lens offers a much sharper image at the expense…

Recent Skies
While browsing my phone camera roll recently, I noticed that I’ve been taking some interesting photos of the sky. The featured image above is from Portage Lake on the Fourth of July weekend.

Walkin’ ‘Round ‘Bou

Storm Over the Aroostook River
Here’s a quick video I took of a rain storm that passed over the Aroostook River a couple of days ago. This was taken with an Insta360 X5 camera. I just love the way the hyperlapse feature of the Insta360 Studio software can help showcase the beauty of a storm in a condensed form.

Caribou Stream
I took a few minutes during my lunch break a few days ago to snap some photos of Caribou Stream and the Main Street bridge that goes over it. Caribou Stream crosses Main Street and runs by Water Street, one of the oldest streets in Caribou.

A Quick Run to the Chemist
I’ve always loved that people overseas call it the chemist instead of the pharmacist. Anyway, I had to pop down to the chemist yesterday and snapped a few photos while I was out.

Fort Street Bridge
I live Caribou, Maine, on the east side of the Aroostook River. Nearly every day since Kim and I bought our house in 2008, I’ve crossed the Fort Street Bridge to get to town for groceries, work, etc. That means that I’ve crossed this bridge approximately 10,000 times since we’ve lived here. Before I met…
