Hello Winter

and good-bye to Fall, the best season of all.

For me it was an autumn to remember

Two casts

Nice day, Babe!

Nice night, Babe!

My son watched my dad ride his dad's motorcycle, with big smiles all around

Nice shot, Clyde.

The noisiest place I've ever set up shop. It also has the best company.

Nets are for sissies, we don't need one.

Again. Nice shot, Clyde.

Nothing beats fighting a fish down a rapid. Brace yourself, we're going on a ride

C'mon, smile! Fall doesn't last all year.

Discoveries and Mysteries

Gotta love a good discovery. It appears these have moved with me at least 10 times. 120 roll film,, wonder if anyone around here still develops these, wonder if anyone remembers what a contact sheet is, wonder how the chemistry is holding up, wonder how much stray light has made it to the edges, wonder if it really is from the Mt. St. Helens eruption, wonder what else I was taking pictures of in the early 80s with Grandpa's old twin lens reflex Rolleicord.

I suspect the anticipation and expectation will be better than the pictures, but that is the essence of a mystery, isn't it?

Water and Rock

I am guilty of giving a sh*t about desktop background pictures. Would never have guessed that about myself, but the truth hurts sometimes. It is nice to see a pretty picture every now and then. The picture has to be interesting but without too much detail to swamp out the icons or make them hard to find, maybe even a little bland on the left where I like my stuff. An interesting yet subtle texture really works. Sometimes I take pictures knowing that they would make a great background. Here are a few of my pictures that I think are brilliant for the task. I left the files pretty big because I like good pictures. Njoy.
