Fall 2008

Here is a picture of the corner section of our front yard taken with the Olympus
C2100 and a Tiffen 87 infrared filter.


Recently I aquired a Hoya R72 infrared filter and that peaked my interest in infrared photography. This is a photograph taken with an Olympus C2100 effectionately know as the Uzi of the trees, sky, and clouds from our front yard.


Dad and Cathy Thanksgiving 2008

For years I've had a concern with the American style of death wishing for something natural and not contrived like what much of the funeral industry cooks up.

Now with concerns about global warming cremation seems disrespectful to the environment however there is a movement for green burial in a natural preserve that honors nature as we return
our body to it.

I found this picture on this website:

It appeals to me and if and until something better comes along
this seems like a reasonable way to return my body to the earth
when it's time to give up the ghost.

This is one of my favorite pictures. It was taken at a distance with a lot of zoom. The day was a wintery day with misty rain.

Been too long since posting a picture. We walked out to the Walton LIghthouse today and saw this picture along the way. It was rather warm for November, I went barefoot.
