This picture was taken 20 years ago this week. It was back in the days of film, when you’d shoot a bunch of pictures, and then you wouldn’t know what you’d gotten until you saw the prints a few hours or a few days later. The occasion was a Coast Guard ceremony for the...
Pictures Of 2015
One blog post a week. That was my goal for the year as 2016 started. Ahem. It’s now Groundhog Day, and this is my first post of the year. “Getting back in the habit” is harder than you might think. Anyway, before it recedes too far in the rearview, here’s a look back at...
Sunrise On The Beach, Continued
Woke up, peeked through the blinds, and all I could see in the sky was red. Checked my phone: 4:58 a.m. Plenty of time to get down to the beach for some pictures before we had to finish packing and clean up. Threw on some clothes, grabbed my camera, and hustled down as fast...
It’s Been 100 Days Since Christmas…
…And that means there are 100 pictures in my picture-a-day blog, Shoulpix. Well, not exactly. I’ve missed a few days, and I’ve made up a few days, but I don’t think I’ve made up as many as I missed. But to apologize, I’m giving you this post at half the regular price! Anyway, these...

Snow Globes
Oh what fun it is … to leave the flash on while you’re taking pictures in a snowstorm!...
Not Much Going On At City Garden Today
Temperature right around 32 degrees. Steady snow falling that felt, really, like rain. And a cold, cold wind whipping around between the city buildings. Not a great day for City Garden, and for much of the time that I walked through today, I was the only soul in sight. A perfect day for black...
Downbound On The Upper
Note: When originally written, this was part of a series of posts about pictures used in the header at the top of this blog. Well, life happens and headers change, and now there are completely different pictures up there. Oh well, I’ll keep these posts, though. Previous posts in the series are here and here...
Pictures Of 2012
Another year, another folder for my computer photo archive. Here are some of my favorite shots from the year 2012. You know the drill — you can click on any of these shots for a larger view. Two of my favorite photographic subjects are right here in this picture: the “Captains Return” statue of...
Same Kids, Different Trees
If ever there were a blog post that didn’t need any explanation, this would be it. Except, perhaps, to say, in order, Jim, Mike and Andrew. Merry Christmas from Shoulblog! ***** Previous Shoulblog Christmas messages: A Christmas Card (2010) “You Are Welcome Here” (2011)...
