I rarely made images of captive animals. However I have taught workshops in zoos. Not only were there animals present for my students and myself that we could not likely find anywhere else, but we could at times wait for … Continue reading →

Today I just have a few dabs of this and that, from my dusty old files, and a few words written by a very wise person many, many years ago. Life comes and goes, one line, or better said, one … Continue reading →
I was one who created a lot of silhouettes both in nature and out.
Birds are hard to beat as a subject.
Small furry critters are fun too.

The saying is actually, variety is the spice of life. When it comes to image making. I have used that term before, and will likely use it again. Getting sharp images is usually a goal in photography. With that said, … Continue reading →
Sometimes it seems to me, the farther we move along in this world, the more we go nowhere There’s hatred towards many if not most, and then the worship of others. At least there’s whorship for anybody who says what … Continue reading →
As the days roll on, it occurs to me that the world is changing at warp speed. I was once a champion of new ideas, technology, and of staying ahead of the crowd. Now it seems that just staying somewhere … Continue reading →
Let us today finish our visual exploration of the American west. A few parting shots if you will. I enjoyed the American west enough that I lived there for a few years. With that said, every place is interesting and … Continue reading →
