I don't remember if this was the first evening or the second, it's all a bit of a blur. My sister wanted to take me to The World's End pub, it was pretty awesome! I love the streets, so many pointy things!

Way back in February Alice Cooper came to town. I saw him a few years ago and I thought I would see how his age was affecting him now. He is my father's age after all. 😁 My daughter came along with me,

Several months ago I was inspired by @darth-azrael to buy old photo slides and scan them for posterity. If you like this kind of thing I highly recommend his posts. The first collection slides I purchased

On April 16, 1746 the British government defeated the Jacobites at the Battle of Culloden. Honestly, I am not sure if I had ever heard of Culloden before going there but now I won't forget it! The Culloden

Scotland is known for a few things: kilts, coos, haggis, Scottie from Star Trek (played by a Canadian, but who's judging?). But the thing that I love the most is fine Scottish whisky! For a taste of this

Donnotar Castle St. Andrews

Donnotar Castle is one of the most photographed places in Scotland. Of course, I didn't know this until I was there. It's definitely a beautiful place, with a ton of rich history, and oddly enough it's

Do you have an odd need to hold something physically in your hands? Do you love music? How about holding real music in your hands? Well, now you can! Kinda. Over the last four years I produced a few albums

If you know me, you know I'm a bit obsessed with film. This obsession of course meant that I had to take film to Scotland. This was a terrifying prospect though, since airport security has not been known

A few months ago (many months ago at this point) I was inspired by @darth-azrael to bid on old photo slides and scan them for posterity. If you like this kind of thing I highly recommend his posts. It's

Edinburgh was not a city that much crossed my mind before this past winter. At some point last year my sister surprised me with a trip itinerary to Scotland for my 40th birthday. I couldn't turn it down

Gimmick? Or legit? What does overpriced hipster film have to offer? I'm not a huge fan of gimmicks. But when I saw Five Below offering color film I had to try it. After all, the black and white wasn't

Four months... Four months since my last post on Hive. July 2025 has arrived and I feel like I missed half a year. Where did I go? Well, Scotland for a bit. But mostly home. I'm uneasily settled into a

For the second year in a row I joined my sister at the St. Augustine Celtic Music and Heritage Festival in St. Augustine, Florida. It was a great weekend and a great time to play with cameras. As usual

I turned 40 last year. 40 years isn't old according to most people I ask, but I feel every single year of it. I didn't have a massive celebration, unlike when I turned 30. The day was just a simple affair,

If you saw my previous post, you'll remember that a few months ago I bought a collection of film slides from an auction in Maryland. The preview photos of the lot made me think I knew where the photos

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I posted any of my music on here. The last album I posted here was "Split" over a year ago. Since then I've put out two albums and an EP! Where does the

Sometimes one just has to give in to peer pressure, or at the very least peer "inspiration." Inspired by the phenomenal posts by @darth-azrael I gave in and bought a collection of old slides

The Chamblin Bookmine is an aptly named bookstore in Jacksonville, FL. The store is literally floor to ceiling books, and just like a mine it is easy to get lost in there! I'm still debating which is better
