Greetings from an Intrepid Geezer & Welcome to mostly unexplored territory!

Interest in photography became more focused during college years while working as a photographer's assistant and generally hanging out with photojournalists. During sojourn to Crete I saw photography in a new light. Mostly everything eventually developed into nature photography of my two favorite regions: the southwestern American deserts and the Smoky Mountains. Things have shifted nowadays-- instead of standing in a darkroom, I find myself seated before a computer screen.

Whereas artistic endeavors, other than engineering drawing or graphical diagrams, were mostly limited to cartooning in pencil or ink and window-painting original designs with tempera, and then all artistic endeavors faded away. With the advent of digital media, creation of artwork was revived. Additionally studies in art history has always been of interest.

Like eating an elephant a bite at a time, this image collection is best viewed a bit at a time! Enjoy.

Something for everyone (almost):

Enjoy flowers? There is plenty of flora to be seen...

Like still-life? There are some composed images...

Perhaps Places? Pictures from various travels are here...

People watching? Activities of people are documented...

How about the arts? There are even some special effects...

AI is not used; however there's HI (Human Ingenuity).

If I have somehow caused the viewer to see anything in a new light, then I consider that I have somewhat succeeded.
