Ray Seigfried, Delaware State Representative, District 7

Ray Seigfried deserves your vote in the Democratic Primary on Tuesday, September 15, 2020. I have worked with Ray Seigfried for many years. For eight years, he was elected to and chaired the Community Planning Committee here in the Village of Arden, Delaware. I also served on that committee and saw first-hand how diligent Ray […]

Recommended: Second Chances Farm, Wilmington, Delaware

Chief Financial Officer Jon Brilliant wants to create for-profit solutions to non-profit problems. He is a partner at Second Chances Farm in Wilmington, Delaware because it offers people leaving prison a real job with, shall we say, growth potential.

Recommended: Planet Walker by John Francis

Easily dismissed as a hippie new-age environmentalist nut case, this memoir by John Francis gives us the inside view of an extraordinary man who spent 22 years walking and bicycling, rowing and sailing, without ever riding in a motorized vehicle.

Sometimes all you have to do to get recognition is to die and leave your work to someone who will publicize it. Another […]

Choosing More Lenses

In February, 2017, students asked me about buying Canon and Nikon fixed focal-length lenses and telephoto lenses. Canon Lenses I am thinking of getting the Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM lens and was wondering your opinion. I am also interested in getting a telephoto lens, but have no clue as to which one for my Canon […]
