I Don’t See Any Sharks

Hello from Nags Head, North Carolina!  You may have heard that just a couple weeks ago, there were several shark attacks along the Outer Banks of NC.  We’ve not seen one fin yet, though.

This little fella kept my shutter finger busy.  What a cutie!

Contract negotiation, campaign work, and FINALLY getting a break have kept me from checking out your work this week.  Soon though!

End of the Day

It had been a long day on the campaign trail.  100 Doors Knocked.  A community picnic attended.  A late night dinner with the campaign team.

As I walked to my car, many hours after the day had begun, I was struck by the sight of the streetlight shining through this tree.

And it made me breathe deeply, with satisfaction.

The Theory and Practice of Photography

Alys’s father was a man of many hobbies, one of which was photography.  I feel honored to have been gifted with his dictionary of photography.  As an additional gift, Alys made note cards with the pages from her father’s photography course.

Many of you know Alys, from Gardening Nirvana.  She is creative, talented, hardworking, generous, passionate … and my friend.

What a blessing she is!  Thank you, Alys!

I was not able to find a publishing date inside the dictionary, but in doing a bit of research, it seems that the book must have been written in the 1940s.  Anyone out there know for sure?
