Using Nikon cameras, I enjoy taking photos of whatever catches my eye. Most recently, I have had an avid interest in wet plate collodion photography, especially tintypes.

Napoleon’s Sister

I am always amazed at the delicate details and vivid colors of these old paintings. This was done by a french artist Rene-Theodore-Bertlon in 1812 of Princess Pauline Borghese youngest sister of Napoleon Bonaparte. This hangs in the Cummer Museum in Jacksonville Florida.

Roadside Memorial

I frequently see these roadside memorials along the roads and highways were I live.

The Tarpon Springs Police Department has released more information in a fatal crash that occurred on Sunday afternoon along U.S. 19 and Beckett Way.

According to the police department, the wreck occurred just before 3:30 p.m. when a vehicle slammed into a traffic control post and burst into flames. Officer John Gibson and a Pinellas County Sheriff’s deputy both spotted the wreck about the same time. The officers worked together to try and put out the flames, but had no luck. They pulled a female passenger out of the car, but were unable to rescue the male driver, an email from the police department stated.

The woman, police said, was taken to Bayonet Hospital where she later died. The man died at the scene.

Police have identified the two victims as Pamela Guthrie, 33, of New Port Richey, and Justin Dewar, 33 of Port Richey.

The Wheel

The funny thing about wheels is that we are used to seeing them in use all around us but they are a manmade thing. There aren’t any wheels in nature and the only ones in the animal world that create and use them are human beings. Before the invention of the wheel people had to pull or push things along the ground.
