Welcome to my outpost on the Web! I write SF, fantasy, and horror for fun and, hopefully, profit! Other interests include music, nature, science, humor, food, bib overalls, and pie throwing (both metaphorically AND literally). Stick around!

Look at your photos, photographers!
A nifty lesson I just learned, all by myself! I’ve been using the Vero social media app (mobile only, as far as I know, but my user name is @kellysedinger) as a sort of showcase for what I consider to … Continue reading
Street Photography: East Aurora, 9/17/2023
I’m finding myself more and more interested in street photography, or “streetscape”, as I prefer to call it. Here are a few examples from a walk I took last week around the village of East Aurora. I do hope someone … Continue reading

In low light….
A photographic experiment, using the knickknacks on my desk.

“Leave the shutters open a little, dear…I’d like to let some light in this dreary house.”
No, that’s not a quote from anything, so far as I’m aware, but we’ve been watching Bridgerton of late so I’ve got that kind of pseudo-Regency era rhythm in my ear. But I am thinking about shutters of late: one shutter in particular, … Continue reading

Amidst the goldenrod…

Thinking about Light
I took this quick photo of Carla and Rosa, enjoying the sun by the patio door, last week. It was just a quick “Hey, that’s cute, let me grab my phone” kind of thing; I didn’t put any effort into … Continue reading

At the Harbor
My Sunday Photography Walk was at Buffalo’s Outer Harbor again, with a side-trek into the Tifft Nature Preserve. Photos here…but these are my favorites from the day’s work: This next is my favorite photo from yesterday. This makes me think … Continue reading
Notes of an Emerging Photographer: The Ridge, again
Heavens, I think I may be actually getting better at this photography thing! I know it’s only been a short while with this camera, but I’m getting to the point already where carrying this camera around feels natural. Looking around … Continue reading
Announcing: HULK! no…VIJAY! no…wait, we’ll figure this out.
And who, you may ask, is this? Well, may I present the Formerly-Named “Hulk”. (We’re working on his new name. Stay tuned.) It’s funny how when you lose a dog, people wait a respectable amount of time before asking, “Hey, … Continue reading
