After a lifetime of mainly expressing myself with words, my postings here will mainly rely on images. They will speak for themselves to some extent, but I'll usually add a few comments of explanation. I've taken photographs for decades, since the 1950's, inspired in part by my father's photographic skill. Four years of photo assignments and quality darkroom time eventually gave way to decades of casual and family picture-taking. I re-immersed myself when I left film and turned to digital.

Welcome to my blog site, where I'll semi-daily post some images I like and a few comments of greater or lesser relevance to the images and the context. Sometimes the comments will explain why I took a photo and what I see in it that makes me think, or hope, others will find it interesting.
Let me know what you think. Please don't assume I think every image will be interesting to everyone. Photographers are like ravens, collecting bright, shiny objects. Tastes differ, wildly. To some, only action is interesting. To others, only portraits or landscapes are worthy. This will be an eclectic display; everything I photograph is fair game for posting.
Thank you for dropping by. I look forward to your comments and will post them only with your prior approval. I would rather have candid private comments than hear nothing. And I don't publicize or trade on my contact or client list.
