Senior Style Team: Seeing in Color
I read somewhere that dogs are somewhat color blind—maybe it was from Facebook “news” or perhaps during one of my late night internet rabbit holes. But how sad is that, right? Apparently, blue is the only color that is a true blue to both humans and our canine...

Senior Style Team: A 60’s Mod Inspiration
Rain—is there anything more frightening to a photographer when you have a photoshoot scheduled for the day? I stood at the window inside Shindig Alley, watching the raindrops pummel the streets of downtown Philipsburg. With permission from the store owners, Kevin and...
