BRIGHT BY THE CANAL – GARRY ARMSTRONG
Bright Light on a Spring Afternoon Finding squarable photographs by Garry is no small feat, but I did it! He took all of these in one of the parks by the Blackstone River and Canal on a warm spring day.
THESE ARE BETTER DAYS
SQUARES – BRIGHTER TIMES These are brighter times, at least compared to a few months ago. The problem, really, is that it isn’t the same world we went into more than a year ago. What we’ve come out into is better… Read More ›
RIVERBEND By GARRY ARMSTRONG
It was a beautiful day. Not only was it warm, but the birds were singing, the sky was blue, everyone looked happy. A soft breeze was blowing. It just doesn’t get better than this. I hope we have some more… Read More ›
BRIGHT YOUNG (AND NOT SO YOUNG) THINGS
Bright Young, Medium, and Older Things Garry’s photos have been waiting for a chance to shine. I’ve been waiting to get my computer in order. I got it done and now, I can move along. I still have to pick… Read More ›

A TRULY BAD, ROTTEN, AWFUL MOVIE AND STILL, I KEPT WATCHING – GARRY ARMSTRONG
