    Aperture: the adjustable opening inside a camera lens, which controls both the exposure of an image and its depth of field.

    Like the opening of a lens to allow light in,

    Seven Canon EF 50mm lenses arranged in a row with varying aperture blades from f/16 to f/22

    I am opening up (exposing if you will) the depth of my world of photography and my journey through photos to you, my fellow photog enthusiasts!

    I can’t say I’m a Nikon “man” nor Canon “fan” because I like both. So far on my journey into photography land I’ve learned I have lots more to learn.

    Learning is certainly what life is about and photography equipment (both cameras and mobile phones) allowed me to hone my craft.

    I have upgraded owning several cameras. A Nikon D3200 and a Canon Rebel SLR1.

    Now in 2026 I own a Canon EOS R100.

    My iPad Air and iPhone 8 Plus have allowed me to take some amazing photos.  As most people know Apple loves yearly updates of the iPhone line so my current iPhone is a 15 Pro Max. Max for all the “Pro” photography and video features! And yes my iPad Air was sorely outdated. I rock the current iPad Pro M4. Yup! It’s a powerhouse for my video and photo editing.

    I did own a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W90 and FUJI FinePix S5000 once: both were good cameras.

    I love taking photos of everything!  I always have.  And not just one photo,  I “need” to take every angle and close-ups too. Join me, follow me, let’s get snappin!

    Hey, photog enthusiasts.

    A person holding a camera and taking a selfie on a porch while a cat rests on a nearby ledge.

    Like you I get my inspiration and intense enjoyment when there is a camera or iDevce in my hand. Sometimes I can be totally absorbed in my pursuit of that “perfect” shot.

    I am:

    • a disabled veteran (23 years Army: 4 Iraq tours, 1 Kosovo, 1 Somalia peace keeping tour)
    • a brother, a husband, a father, a grandfather
    • an encourager, a helper, a support for many
    • photographer for blog ( NealEnjoy – a WordPress blog )

    Two smiling men holding a sign that says 'Mr & Mr', dressed in wedding attire with hats and floral accessories.
    Two men smiling together, one wearing a black Nike shirt, holding a swaddled newborn baby in a hospital setting.
    Group photo of a diverse family gathering in a natural setting, featuring adults and children smiling together in front of tall trees.

    I have:

    • seen a lot of the world
    • learned joy is the true measure of success
    Illustration of vintage cameras arranged in a row, with some cameras featuring a lightbulb or cube on top.

    I will do my best to:

    • tell my story though pictures, and if you look closely, you will see your story too
    • show that life is good
    • have fun with the lens
    Illustration of vintage cameras arranged in a row, with some cameras featuring a lightbulb or cube on top.

    I love:

    • capturing “that” moment
    • my children and grandchildern
    • photography
    • Sci-Fi
    • collecting comics
    • playing music on iTunes/iPhone/iPad
    • my cats Benny and Boopers (you will see a plethora of their photos)
    • antiques
    • traveling

    I think you:

    • will agree that there is art in more places than what’s just in a museum
    • will love this blog
    • will, hopefully,  share the blog with someone close to you
    • will pick up a camera (or iDevice) and take some photos!

    If I Could Turn Back Time, Daylight Savings 2025

    Changing Seasons – Motivational

    Neal, Did you hear?

    A vintage green wall clock showing the time just before noon, alongside an abstract colorful artwork mounted on the wall.

    We finally get back that hour of the day we lost earlier this year!

    A person holding a vintage clock with a large green rim, displaying the time just before 10:10.

    What could I do with an extra hour? Maybe save it for a later time?

    Ok… that didn’t go well for him!!!

    Most clocks have gone digital but Neal and I still have 3 clocks that need “human hands” to reset. Which provides one of the few chances in a lifetime to actually “Turn Back the Hands of Time”!

    A person holding a vintage green clock while standing in front of a white paneled wall.
    An older man holding a vintage alarm clock with a cheerful expression, wearing glasses and an orange shirt, standing in a well-lit indoor space.

    If only I could be like Cher, “If I could turn back time”. Wait… I can!

    A person adjusting a vintage clock in a bathroom setting, with a mirror and sink in the background.

    Use that extra hour to live life NOW! How are you going to use that extra time? Comment please.

    Happy Daylight Savings Time 2025!
