Thanks to all who view, comment and "favorite" my pictures!

I bought my first 35mm camera in 1972, while stationed in Monterey, California, and cut my photographic teeth on Cannery Row and Big Sur.

A camera of some kind has been with me ever since, on Okinawa, in Berlin, Paris, and the former Soviet Union, all over the United States and, especially, Southern Arizona, where I lived for most of the last five decades. I relocated to Oregon in the spring of 2024.

These days the cameras are digital, but the principles are the same: get something in the viewfinder worth sharing with others. That's what's exciting about a site like Flickr. I hope you find something here worth telling others about.

(And if you're in Oregon, please say "Howdy!" If there are enough of us, maybe we can do one of those meet-ups.)
