Justice
The crowd roars. El Matador! Master of the Bulls. But, in a split second… He stumbles. He falls. Gored repeatedly. El Matador is dead. For once, finally… There is justice.

Beginnings & Endings
I have been here since time immemorial. I have seen beginnings and endings. Births and deaths. Dawn and Twilight. Empires rise, And then they fall. One common thread… Running though the fabric of time. In any day and any age, None do more damage to humankind. Than humankind itself.

Serenity
I hope everyone enjoys this poem. It was a distinct pleasure to put words to Laura’s beautiful photograph. I hope I did this fine image justice. As many of you likely saw from Laura’s recent post, she has been a bit under the weather as of late, in addition to a hectic work schedule. She…

No Theme Thursday: 01.16.25 (First Anniversary Edition)
Greetings all, and welcome. Almost one year ago this week, I published my very first No Theme Thursday post. This was never meant to be a challenge, really. It was just an excuse for me to post images I had generated. Most other days of the week had a theme at the time, but I…

Battle Tested
01/15/25: I took this post down a few days ago because upon rereading it, I was not sure that I had really sent the message I wished to. At the time, I was not completely satisfied with it. I had debated editing or deleting it and starting over again. To be fair, I have been…

Thank…

Review: Ink Stained Love
Yes, gorillas can read. I will preface this by stating that I have never written a review for anything before, so this is completely new territory for me. The following are just a few thoughts I wished to share. Ink Stained Love is the first published book by our very own Ernest Federspiel, AKA: E-Dawg,…

Impending Storm
The above is another collaborative effort using Laura’s image and my words. This picture immediately made me think “storm”, which led to the work you see above. While it is a bit dark, this is the message the image sent to me when I looked at it. I hope you enjoy this piece.

Twilight
The above poem is Laura’s creation using photos that I provided. The way she put this together is quite fascinating and truly captures the various stages of a sunset. As I read it, the feel is very reminiscent of watching the sun go down in real time. As you read, you can almost feel yourself…

NTT Showcase: 12.14.24 Edition
Hello all, and welcome to the final NTT Showcase of 2024. Looking back, it’s been a heck of a year in many, many ways. But looking back at this specifically, it’s been case of growing bigger and bigger every week. To a degree that is, quite frankly, shocking to me. 😄 I would not have…

It’s Gone
I had intentions of using this image to write a poem about my grandfather. Unfortunately, words have been failing me these days. I tossed around words, phrases, ideas. Nothing. Nada. Zip. I know I am far from the only one to have encountered this. I am sure it’s far more common than I even dare…
