Digital Photo Contact Sheet

Travel Photography Tips
Like everyone else, I am tired of this damned pandemic and want to experience a different reality. So, I’ve masked up, received a vaccination and started booking flights. Where to? Migratory birds and pensioners have it right, so I suggest going south for the winter.…

Constraints
Lately I’ve been frustrated with the lack of shooting opportunities in small town USA. By comparison, larger urban cities are target rich for photo shooters. I’ve spent two hours on two Sundays and walked away with maybe 10 images on the new camera. Maybe I…
