Friday is sort of a dead day in the blog-publishing world — of which I occupy a province the size of a parking space in Vatican City — but I’m anxious to get my latest collection of photos into your hands.  These are of various structures in several towns within 60 miles of the Georgia coast, taken from 2008 to 2024.

As always, photographs are best viewed on non-phone devices — use phones for selfies and memorable dinner shots.  I enjoy doing research on my locations after-the-fact, so please read the notes accompanying the gallery.  Thanks for taking a look, hope you enjoy.

On the eve of Super Bowl Sunday, I have added another mini-gallery of 12 photos to my ART @ CHC site, titled From the Waist Down (click to visit).  Here is a photo (Raleigh, NC) that did not merit inclusion in the gallery, as it didn’t have enough kick:

While working on this collection, I also made a few updates to the Steps, Windows and Odds & Ends galleries, so please have another look at those if so inspired.

In the meantime, Happy Super Bowl Sunday to my sports-loving friends. To the rest of my friends, Happy Hubble Day.  It was February 11, 1924, one century ago, that Edwin Hubble measured the spectra of distant stars and established the existence of galaxies beyond the Milky Way, thereby seeding sci-fi concepts such as The Foundation, Star Trek, the Laws of Robotics and the Prime Directive.

Thank you, Edwin Hubble.  You know you have reached greatness when both a physical constant and a space telescope have been named after you.  Not even Beyoncé has achieved that distinction.

But wasn’t this post about feet, not feats?

I recently bought myself an early birthday present — AI-based photo-tagging software. Excire Foto lets you type in a certain word, phrase or image characteristic, and the software returns an array of matching images from the ones stored on your computer. Which in my case number in the tens-of-thousands.

I used Excire to help me complete the latest mini-gallery, Signs on the Wall, at my ART @ CHC site.  Below is a teaser image not included in the gallery, because it didn’t meet my exacting standards of slightly-better-than-mediocrity!

Now that the finding-the-right-photos process has become 10x easier, I hope to add more collections soon, maybe as soon as a few days from now.  Thanks for viewing.
