Photography is a meditative form of being present and looking intently. It is through the gift of our eyes, mind and our hearts and souls, gifts from God, that we move and see and sense and take in the great beauty, science and the extraordinary ecosystems systems that are outside of ourselves. We also see other people and their creativity; the architecture, the arts, the environments, the history, and all of humanity with their interactions. Gratitude for their contributions is shared through photography.

I am taking photos and having fun, seeing interesting places, meeting new friends and taking great satisfaction in the digital post production processing. (I still remember the smell of fixer in darkrooms fondly but don't miss all the stains on my clothes.)
