Hi Kenlove.

I am in Pennsylvania. I am looking to get into this. I get commented on my photos and have been told in the past my writing skills are excellent. I am looking for fellow PJ's who can hopefully give me advice and direction how to pursue this. I do not have a degree, I do have an "eye" a drive to seek truth in people places and things. I am taking a photography class soon to up my skills. I have a photo gig in October photographing a Strongman Competition. Any guidance you can give me much appreciated.

No problem, I taught it for 15 years too. The main thing is keep shooting -- its so much easier now than it was in the 60s when we had to soup the film and print. Then again there seems to be more competition now to0. So the main thing is to keep shooting and build an amazing portfolio.. Go through the online pix of NPPA, (National Press Photographers Assoc.) Illinois PPA and others you can find online.

when I taught I tried to get across to look at texture in the surroundings and to take both horz and vert of the same thing with 3 different focal length lens. 24, 85 and 200 for example.

There are 5 Ken love's who are photojournalists, One in Pittsburgh was with BBC and did film.

One in Akron and still pretty active, father and son in Mo. who I met in 76 and myself now in Hawaii.

YOU dont need to change your name to do this job though (^_^)

good luck

Thanks Ken. I already take a horz and vert of most every picture I take. I am big on texture too. I guess I naturally have the basics ingrained in me, now the focal length, needs work. I have a dual digital/manual camera with a 18xzoom and with an extended digital zoom that goes to 115x. Nice to have a camera that you can just point and shoot one day and another day actually play with to get good effects. I never bothered with the manualportion till now Off to the river park and play around with it. See what I can do. I appreciate the advice.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
