- Best Photos of 2019 by Jim M. Goldstein January 1, 2020Thanks for checking in to see my best photos of 2019. This year for a variety of reasons I didn’t have many opportunities to get out and pursue photography to the degree I’d have preferred. Some of the reasons why were good (new house, settling in, kid activities with both boys being in elementary school for the first time, etc.) and some were downright bumm […]Jim Goldstein

Selfish, And Yet More?
(First written May 13, 2022; and edited June 7-13, 2022.) Although quite a portrait has seemingly been painted of me so far in my life (to many), here’s what I also know: EXAMPLE 1: Airline Communications Idea When I worked … Continue reading

AI and Other Game Changers
Elsewhere noted in my ‘confessional posts’ that I have strongly believed in holistic approaches and social inclusivity in sustainably solving global and socio-environmental problems for quite some time — despite those admittedly bad f**k-ups (in 1982; 1988; 1996). (I do … Continue reading

‘Either/Or’ by Kierkegaard — FASCINATING (Please, please read…)
I hope this Wikipedia page about Søren Kierkegaard’s book Either/Or (Danish: Enten – Eller, 1843) doesn’t get somehow altered. It’s a fascinatingly close summary of what my own life experiences and dilemmas have been like — transgressing or transcending a … Continue reading

Crazy for Classic Cars
I’m kinda ‘old school’ when it comes to cars — love the curves on classic models! My first and only car was a 1975 Volkswagen Beetle. It was bright lemon yellow with black trim. Unfortunately, the only picture I have … Continue reading

Expressive Clouds and Sunsets
This is all a jumble, but the theme is re-examining the ordinary. And in the case of the sunsets, I tried to capture the glory of it, but it’s never quite the same in pictures. … Continue reading
