My grandmother tells mom's boyfriend not to take her picture. He took it anyway....
Probably why he didn't make it, while my dad did. Oh, well.. too bad for him.
He did know how to photograph shadows, though..
My mom is the one on top of the rock.
Mike and I covered an old box with printouts from an old design project I was working on. It holds a game our neighbor's genius cousin created called the snake game. We gave this as a gift to Mike's sister Colleen a few years ago. Photo by Mike.
Way Back Machine - 1966
The ladies from my mom's bowling team at the motel where they were staying for a tournament.
“Twilight Alpenglow over the Big Horn Mountains” was taken well into Nautical Twilight. (Do you know your 3 twilights?) Bear in mind I consider anything sky in the morning BEFORE the sun crosses the horizon Night and in the evening, once the sun slips behind the horizon, it’s night too….
This sky started out Bright Orange at sunset with the same clouds but slowly faded to the longer wave length light red…finally to black with no stars because enough overcast to preclude/veil stars in the frame. This 5 second time exposure highlights cloud shadows and the still glowing atmospheric ice over the Mountains.
Those 13000 feet high hills are 130 miles from my Camera which is sitting on a 4000 foot in elevation ridge almost 2 full Wyoming counties east.
Photographers notes. Unless your really steady (on xanax or something), you need a tripod for any exposure longer than about 1/15th second exposure. No star tracking required here so just a tripod will do.
Gear.. Sony Alpha 7R4, Canon 800mm Telephoto. Tripod. Big Tall Hill top in Montana looking across the border into Wyoming.
Location: Bliss DInosaur Ranch, Wyoming/Montana borderlands (Wyotana)

The adventures of boys in the summertime.. a time when finding a big earthworm was the coolest thing in the world.
That is my cousin Bryan in the front, with the prize catch. And those of you who are regulars to my stream already are familiar with Dave. I could sit and talk with you for hours about the type of person that Dave was... but that grin on his face will tell you more about him than I ever could.
He was probably thinking that now they should go catch a snake.
I'm not kidding.
This photo was taken by my mom's sister (Bryan's mother), who you might have seen here.

Another photo of some dude and a car.. taken by one of my mom's friends. She doesn't remember too much about it.
But really, when the photo is as classic and cool as this one, "some dude" is all that I need to know to post it here.
#WaybackWednesday - USC didn't get a traditional Homecoming celebration this year, so let's enjoy the first one, from 1924, which featured Trojans in a decked-out horse-drawn surrey. Photo/USC University Archives

Dave and his sister hang for a photo at the Brunswick Town sign, while I stake out the high ground. The truth is... all we wanted to do was get back to the beach.

My dad sits with his dog in the late autumn sunshine on the front porch in the mountains of rural Tennessee. He was sixteen years old in this photograph, and his older brother was fighting in the Pacific. The Blue Star flag in the window speaks volumes about America in 1944.... a time of hardship and concern.
64 years ago....
