I have just now uploaded all of the saved photos from my hard-drive, thousands. Will gradually sort through them and put them in albums. Way too many trees, but that is what we have around here.

UPDATE: My ideas about photography are evolving. Focus on daily life in my part of the world - small town southern USA in a time that appears both prosperous and uncertain. Dogs I have saved from animal shelters and hope to place in loving homes, a bit of rare beauty in my life. My approach is documentary rather than artistic - there is a story behind these photos.

I have a new camera. I am technically retired, but I have jumped into a life where I am busier than when I was working as a librarian. I take care of a shelter for. mostly, discarded and abandoned hunting dogs. I also work as volunteer at a small public library (Locust, NC). The work is hard - shelving books and occasionally helping people with computer issues. There are a few pictures here taken at the library.

My other flickr site is Antique Dog Photos where I post vintage photos (mostly with and some without dogs) and some of my artwork.. I also now have access to my mother's slides - I am learning a lot about which photographs have lasting value from looking at these, few of them would be of interest to anyone but her, but some are interesting.

Focused, obsessive. I also spend a lot of time looking at your pictures.
