Take a few minutes to watch the video above or, if you’re more of a written word person, keep reading. When I came home from Kenya last year, I had a hard drive filled to busting with 30,000 images. I’d been photographing for 30 days, so that’s a daily average of 1,000 ph...

And 2024 had its fill, from the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys (under-recognition for Curb Your Enthusiasm and Better Call Saul), and the Grammys (Taylor Swift‘s Album of the Year victory).Enjoy (or cringe at) the 16 moments Gold Derby has chosen as the year’s lowlights:Having two ...
Looking back over the trajectory this blog has taken, it’s kind of all over the place, but a lot of it is what I call, for lack of a better word, “mythologyology.” (I created a new category for that.) For example, when I write about deities, which I do a lot, it’s not...
