Just saw a phenomenal concert at Wolf Trap in Virginia. Sarah McLachlan with opening act Allison Russell and the Rainbow Coalition. Wow. Sarah’s voice is the same as it was 40 years ago. Happy they are good with non-flash photos with cell phone. If you ever get a chance to see her live, please do!
Happy 250th Birthday, United States of America…
Happy Belated Canada Day! Hope you had fun. Looking forward to watching Canada win the FIFA 2026 World Cup soccer/football game on Saturday vs Morocco. Cheers!

I’m proud that one of my images placed in #BaltimoreCameraClub digital competition. Called ‘Life Under The Bean,’ taken in Chicago. Look for 6 reflections of me waving ‘hello.’ https://www.baltimorecameraclub.org/ImageZoom2.aspx?ImageSize=2&ImageId=28130103&Id=f1bf57c7-42a9-4978-9914-57bf575beaca

Congressional Briefing to advocate for more #glaucoma research funding & keep independent National Eye Institute. Alliance for Vision Research recording—I spoke for BrightFocus at 41m:40s. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alliance-for-vision-research_seewhatmatters-activity-7442926350920822784-1iTj
Attended The Glaucoma Foundation Gala in NYC last night. Wonderful to celebrate our partnership in co-funding glaucoma research by Drs. Audrey Bernstein and Arunkumar Venkatesan on exfoliation syndrome. Here are some photos from the evening.
I’m posting this as a test to see if anyone actually reads anything in Bluesky. Thinking of cancelling it. Have on average 0 interactions with my posts the past year or two. Drop a note or like if you actually see this.
Took this in the week leading up to Easter in Old Ellicott City. When the sun was getting lower in the sky, casting shadows. Does this have a chance in photo competition as a street scene? Thoughts and suggestions welcome. For example, would it be better in black and white or cropped further in?
Another option set. If go with black and white landscape theme, any two or more do you think are your preferred for printing and hanging on wall in gallery?
Question for y’all out there. Which two of these might look good printed and hung in a gallery? Need to choose some for our club’s show.
Last night, I submitted four images to #BaltimoreCameraClub Print Competition. One of my B&W images won second place in the Associate Monochrome competition! It is one of my images taken on the Underground and Medieval Torture Chamber tour of Prague last September. Title: Last Supper Enjoy!
Advocated today in DC at Congressional Briefing for #agerelatedmaculardegeneration funding to NIH & NEI. Thanks to NAEVR/AVER & AMDF for inviting @brightfocus.bsky.social to give a private funder’s perspective. Only by working together can we keep the research pipeline moving to make AMD history.
Check out my April and June photos in the 2026 Edgar Allan Poe calendar. If you’d like your own, click to order. Baltimore Camera Club members donated the use of our photos, to support the Poe House in Baltimore, where he wrote many of his masterpieces. Enjoy! https://poe-baltimore-inc.square.site
You don’t see #VisionResearch. But it sees you. Most of us don’t think about vision research. But millions live every day with the impact of it—when it’s there, and when it’s not. https://bit.ly/4qAuCst #SeeWhatMatters #FundFederalVisionResearch @arvoinfo.bsky.social
