    Candy Apples

    by
    My all-time favorite treat! My father, my brother Ray, and I used to bike down Ocean Parkway to Coney Island and get Jelly Apples (That’s what we called the red ones. The term candy Apple was usually reserved for the ones covered in caramel, or nuts) on the promenade.  Neither Raymond, nor I, could penetrate […]

    Total Darkness

    by
    For today’s theme, I’m going minimalist. What exactly is minimalism? And – Why am I going minimalistic? Well, strictly, I’m meant to do ‘extreme minimalism’, however, that would mean a blank blog post, and that wouldn’t be very exciting for you to read now, would it? However, I think that this picture that I took […]

    by
    TDC 2107 “Extreme Minimalism” Today’s Daily Create was Extreme Minimalism. I personal feel that this photo taken by myself is very minimalist as the focus area is very small.
