Trump’s Racist Street Slang

San Diego’s Brush With Trump University by Reviewer Rob So, I attended a Trump University seminar in early 2007 at an upscale San Diego Mission Valley hotel in San Diego. The big advertising buzz that at the time was that you’d “Learn from the Master”, Mister Donald Trump. Now keep in mind, nine or ten years ago Trump’s hair was […]

Adobe Lightroom Gallery To The Resue

[hi tec] Automated Picture Displays in Adobe Creative Cloud by Reviewer Rob So, I went to a coffee shop last night at 12:30 and sat down, and by 3 a.m. automated a photo gallery in Adobe Creative Cloud for the first time. For two or three years now I’d been lamenting the absence of the standard included autogallery in Creative […]

PHOTOLOG: old glass, Tamron 19mm fixed focal length f3.5-22

[Photolog]  analog lenses, circa 1989 by Reviewer Rob More analog lenses. Here’s my manual-focus 19mm Tamron f3.5 to 22 that I bought new in 1989 or so, when it was modern technology.

[Confession] An Unintentional Luddite? by Reviewer Rob, from 5-29-16, 5:41 p.m. Right Now. Now I’m listening to this Sub Pop label sampler in my car CD player.

California Primary, June 7, mail in

[Democracy] Voting by Mail in California by Reviewer Rob So, I’m mailing in my California Democratic Primary ballot today. Participating in democracy has never been easier. I don’t know why they have that rule that says you have to be registered as a Democrat to participate in this election though. That doesn’t seem fair or democratic. What if someone has […]

on TTL-less high-speed lenses

[Update] photolog: 50mm f1.4 by Reviewer Rob I was shooting photos in a bar (Casbah SD) and on the street last night with 1970’s Nikon lens technology mounted on my sturdy D5200. Even before I went digital 11 years ago I preferred either 200mm or wide-angle fisheye lenses so this 50mm has been stored in my camera bag with only […]
