| Photography Stories and
Quick Notes from the trails
Question:
Why do people take photographs? Answer: To tell a story.
...and
I have a lot of stories to tell. Every photo I've ever taken has a story
behind it. Some, much more interesting than others. In fact, in some cases
the story is actually better than the photograph is, and the photograph
only serves as the conversation starter. How many times have you sat around
with your parents or relatives and looked at those old black and white
photos. Those same photos that have been stuffed into old cardboard boxes
and collecting dust for years. You sat and listened to every word about
those photos and their stories, and of those who had come before you.
As I post photos in different places within this web site and reminisce
about the stories behind them, I look forward to sharing some of the more
interesting stories right here on this page. I hope you check back every
once in a while, and bring a cup of coffee with you. |

Second
hand camera on a second hand tripod
Introduction: My first piece of camera equipment was actually part
of my fathers collection that was stored at the end of the hallway for
years. (his 35 mm tripod) My first digital camera was also a piece
of "second hand" equipment. But I guess a lot of hobbies start with "hand
me downs". But more importantly than new equipment, I'm having a blast
learning more with every photo. |

The
President and Me
During a presidential visit to Alamogordo, New Mexico, I was in the audience
taking pictures of the President of the United States, and unknown to me,
at the same time the White House photographer is taking pictures of me,
and posting them on the White House web site. |

If at first
you don't succeed, read the directions
I had been
vacationing in Florida for about week, and taken hundreds of pictures without
any problems... then, after experimenting with my camera, and with no regard
to the operating instructions or camera directions, that's when the problems
started! |
