April’s arrival means that spring is in full swing in the northern hemisphere, and as the weather warms, fans and players of the sport known to residents of the United States as America’s favorite pastime return to the baseball field. In America, where distance is measured in miles and temperature in fahrenheit, sports fans opt for wooden bats and leather gloves over shinguards and goal nets. While the professional (American) football championship, kn

The start of Spring brings a period of renewal and rejuvenation with the first day of Spring, also known as the vernal equinox, occurring roughly on March 20th in the Northern Hemisphere. That day is supposed to contain an equal 12 hours of daylight and night and is one of two days out of the year when the sun passes directly over the equator.
Spring is nature’s alarm clock with the first day of Spring signalling trees, plants and flowers to start spreading their new green leav

Whether they be a baker, painter, or candlestick maker, every artisan has their own set of tools.
The strategic slice of a chef’s knife, the perfectly placed stroke of a painter’s brush, the forensic eye of a camera lens, each bends to the will of their master. But the artist must first learn to tame each of their tools before they will do their bidding. Hundreds of hours spent between artist and instrument builds the foundation needed for th

Photography and other visual representations of concert events are a tricky proposition.
Fans of the music aren’t looking for, nor needing, much more than a souvenir of the evening filled with their favorite sounds. Photographs or paintings of the proceedings are an unnecessary ornament, rather than a part of the main artistic expression – the performer and his or her music. But there is a kind of journalistic record of a cultural event that photography especially w

They are commonly known as Gypsies, but that moniker conjures up the trite stereotypes and pervasive misconceptions commonly associated with a people whose culture and history are actually profound and nuanced. A vociferously unassimilable people, they are European (and increasingly American) urban nomads in constant migration, refusing to alter their culture in any way necessary for joining the modern world. They are a headache for governments ele

Look into the eyes of these photographed twins in this special gallery.
Twins always seem to possess an “old souls” essence in their characters, probably because of the several profound aspects of “twindom” that the rest of us will never have to contemplate, let alone live through on a daily basis. Can you imagine having an almost perfect mirror image of yourself, living alongside you every day? Some reflexively note how wonderful it must be to always have an av

“Backbone” as a metaphor has always evoked determination, strength of character, toughness of spirit.
It is also an indicator of alignment, of being on the right track, of having everything in life in functioning order. “Breaking” one’s back means utter devastation, paralysis, losing everything. Being “spineless” is perhaps the worst insult any man would care to ever hear about himself. And then there’s the sensuous beauty of the pattern of stacked and lin

What does it mean to be “blue collar?”
It means that what you sell for a living is your labor and whatever special knowledge and skills you have accumulated facilitate your ability to do a particular job and do it well. It means achieving raises and benefits to help you survive your retirement years.
Blue collar means stock market speculation and silver-tongued salesmanship have no place in your life. It means depending upon mostly yourself to make your way in the world. It means never

There is something in our human nature that always keeps us looking for that enigmatic “something more.”
No matter how much we enjoy something, we just know it could be a little bit better with the perfect small addition. Hence, our obsession with finding the perfect complementary spices to our favorite foods.
Spices have been a treasure for humanity since at least 2000 BCE. Spices were essential for magic, medicine, religious rites and the preservation of food

Gods and Kings: The Rise and Fall of Alexander McQueen and John Galliano by Dana Thomas was published this month. It tells the story of two revolutionary British designers who re–invented and re–energized Fashion Weeks in Paris and New York and brought real outrage and excitement back to high fashion. In the past twenty years these two visionaries soared to the heights of international haute couture and then just as dramatically crash
