When I’m traveling on my own, I don’t really go out and see the sights until 9 or 10. I was relieved when Mrs. Holstein assured me that they didn’t intend to leave the hotel and start seeing the sights until late in the day. Of course, dopey me: the Holsteins are very early risers.…

Instagram: “Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!”
This is what happens when you ask your Mom's nerdy cousin to "shoot some video" during your wedding ceremony. It's like asking for help from Beetlejuice. A photo posted by Andy Ihnatko (@ihnatko) on Apr 23, 2016 at 7:15am PDT
Instagram: “Let me help…”
“Here,” says the early evening sun. “Let me help you with that photo.” A photo posted by Andy Ihnatko (@ihnatko) on Apr 21, 2016 at 4:13pm PDT

From my Flickr: “Best Airbnb EVER!”
The Gardner Museum has many true international art treasures. And yet, I think I took as many photos of the courtyard as I did of the artwork. Can you believe that this used to be somebody’s house?! Sure, of course, Ms. Gardner designed and built it to be an "art museum with an apartment up…
From my Flickr: “Mars Needs Milkmen”
The bad news is that after walking a distance that seemed extreme even for cattle who are used to long drives, Mrs. Holstein is now reasonably convinced that this is not the way back to the dairy. The good news is that technically, they have succeeded in claiming Mars for the bovines. (There was no…
From my Flickr: “Triborough Bridge From The Cheap Seats”
This photo is almost four years old. I shot it from the window of my Amtrak train home one June day in 2012. I spotted it again when I was doing some housecleaning on an old drive. I just dragged it into Aurora HDR to see what I could do with it. Digital photography is…

This is the time of year when the lawn dinosaurs return, to keep the neighborhood free from international communism and lawn grubs. See it here: http://flic.kr/p/FRdwy1
From my Flickr: “Boston Opera House”
"The Sound of Music" was a terrific show with a fab cast. But it was also special because it was my first time inside the Boston Opera House. When I was growing up, it was only famous for its shameful state of disrepair. Once a jewel, it was considered by many to be unsalvageable, and…

From my Flickr: “Livestock Exchange”
Mr. Holstein was flattered to be invited to sound the ceremonial opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. He was slightly less-flattered when he learned that their regular bell was on the fritz and they just assumed that he would be bringing one of his own, from home, because he’s, you know, a cow.…

From my Flickr: “Half-Anseled”
It’s impossible to come home from Yosemite and not instinctively try to make all of your landscapes look like an Ansel Adams print. Alas, the beard is just the first of many things the master had that I don’t. :) See it here: http://flic.kr/p/FBdRBA
From my Flickr: “Buds Got Punked”
We got what was likely to be our last snowfall of the season this morning. It’s a nice little joke at the expense of all of the flowers and tree buds that took note of all of the warm weather this month and made the logical conclusion. Today was also the day of another Apple…
