Photography

February 22, 2019

I have been taking photos since I was 7 years old. Over the years I graduated from my Brownie box camera to 35 mm reflex cameras to the several digital versions I use today. I have always loved photography and my computer is cluttered with over 16,000 images that I have made throughout the years. My photos encompass nature, wildlife, people and places of interest. While I often use them to illustrate some of my blog posts, I don’t make them the subject of my posts…. until now.

Recently, a friend asked me to post a few of my photos on my blog. Since she is a professional photographer (With two capital Ps), I was more than a little hesitant at first. After some thought, I said why not. These are not necessarily my best photos but they are the ones that I like the most. I hope they inspire thought and questions.

    The tower in the lake begs a question, for sure. The Luxor photos are really cool. I like what you did with the Tower of Pisa – original! Overall a beautiful selection. You have an exceptional eye.

    Oh yes! Photo need to be shared. I do all the time (my blog has only my photos, except when it is not possible such as for the Lagerfeld post). Sharing photos helps you grow into photography, you can confront your with other and try new angles, perspectives or subject. The opinion of others is also important.
    I love the Garda pictures by the way, because I love Garda Lake so very much. I also have pics from Egypt with similar subjects.
    I use almost always my iPhone (sigh, ig is laziness though the phone are capturing images quite well these days), although I have also a Leica D-Lux 6, and a Canon D5 with some good lenses but I use seldom because of the bulk and weight.
    I hope you will keep doing and posting photos.
    Cheers

      Thanks. Garda is our “third home.” We are there very often and have many friends there in Tignale, Limone, and Bardolino. It is the only place on this earth that I am completely mellow.

    Oh, how I LOVED seeing your photos! I am going to be revisiting this post while hoping you continue to share your work. Now you can fill up your blog space too 🙂 Okay, gotta quit typing so I can spend more time taking in each image and reading what you wrote about each one.

        Aww, thanks Allen. I love the way each one has a story. Heck, maybe if I ever finish year end paperwork, I’ll see you out on a trail with your camera, instead of just in writers group. I’d like to get back to both more. I think my favs are Misery. Luxor, Egypt. 2008 because I just know there is a story there. I also really like the light and shadows on Funerary Urn. Volterra, Italy, 2009. It’s neat to see someones world through their lens.

    I enjoyed seeing every photo–and especially the ones of places we visited (with a good camera) like Italy and Egypt. Thanks for posting them and taking me “away” for a while.
