Lunch at Century Inn
I’ve always wanted to stop here, ever since I lived in the Pittsburgh area, many years ago. Finally, when driving through the area for a family visit a couple weeks ago, I decided to surprise […]
Our Nation’s Capital

Vintage Light Meter: Sekonic L-398A
When I’m taking photos, I’m not always using a camera that has a built in light meter. My RB67 and Nikon S2 are a couple examples of cameras without meters – but I also use […]
