This is yet another solid reason why I have never entered the dark world of FaceBook. As a senior adult, I have never found any compelling reason to allow Zuck and his minions access to any aspect of my life. Alas, there are so many alleged grownups all over the world who are addicted to a teenage level of social media presence and can't seem to function without constant interaction. No one has ever been able to give me a single reason to convince me to create a FaceBook account.

Heck, back in the non-digital days, I even always opted to have my telephone number being a non-published number in the telephone directory.

FaceBook can go kick rocks.

Well, narrow vision is a thing we suffer all our lives by not having enough experience or good sense to change the perspective when confronted with something...

What the heck this has to do with photography and smartphone?

Simple: I am tired of seeing folks using their phone vertically regardless of subject. I know the camera lenses are on top but come on, open the field, use horizontal for god's sake, you will see your (err...) subjects better.

Ease of use, availability, does not justify sloppiness. A small twist of a wrist and that's it! There! A brand new worldwide is in front of your... camera.

Anyway, another rant...

Are gasoline pump hoses shorter just to save money? Remember when you could pull up to either side of the pump island to fill your tank? The hose was long enough to reach across. Now, I see cars waiting at one side of the pump while the other side is empty.

Question: How can you tell which side of the car the gas filler is on if you're riding behind it? (answer is below)















The tailpipe is on the opposite side. For dual exhausts, just guess. You have a 50/50 chance of being right.
