About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

civilized ku # 2187 ~ good beer  

Allagash Curieux ~ The Pour House / Westmont, NJ • click to embiggenLast Friday in my (un)beloved South Jersey, I imbibed an ale ($24.00US / 750ml bottle) by the name of Allagash Curieux (brewed in Maine). It is made by aging a Belgian-style Tripel Ale in Jim Beam bourbon barrels. After 8 weeks of aging the beer is blended back with a portion of fresh Tripel Ale. The result is a beer soft with coconut and vanilla notes, with hints of bourbon.

It's good. I liked it. If you like good beer, as opposed to the recycled urine-style beer favored by most Americans, I highly recommend it.

civilized ku # 608 ~ it's a rotten leisure hours activity but someone has to do it

George Eastman stated:

What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are.

I wonder what he'd think about my presence in bars making pictures of unaccompanied women (I have absolutely no interest in unaccompanied men)?

FYI, in many of his leisure hours George used to travel around the world killing large animals (and making pictures) - I know because I've been to his house and the walls are hung with lots of "trophies". What's that make him?

BTW and FYI - I'm off to the beach, South Jersey style. There are couple a of pre-loaded entries that I will post during the week and, once again, I will ask The Cinemascapist to fill in here and there - it's the least he can do considering that I have his kid for the week and he and the wife (his) can have some quiet (or noisy, if they like) time together.
