ANOTHER GREY DAY – ATMOSPHERIC MORNING
When I was a kid, I had a book. It was published by Disney and this was a long time before Disney became the big name it is today. It was called “Seasons” — or something like that. What was… Read More ›
NOVEMBER DOGS
That time of year has come again by which I mean the period when I don’t go out a lot to shoot. Right now, there isn’t much to shoot. The trees are almost naked and whatever leaves remain on them,… Read More ›
