I wouldn't mind seeing 16,873 of those pics but I don't have time to look at all 17,510.

Judging by what I've seen so far I'm sure I would like to see all 17,500.
Could you print me up copies of the whole collection and send them on down to Loreto for Don and I to peruse at our liesure?

God, I love that picture of Hyder, Pompano. Have you ever been to Hope? It's on the Kenai peninsula. It looks just like that. The road going in to
town (what, 12 buildings?) looks just like that. And I want to go back there so much right now.
Funny thing about pictures. You either connect with them or you don't.

Cropping and Death Valley
This picture was taken a few months ago on a glorious day in Panamint Valley. It was glorious but somehow I couldn't show the glory. Here is what I
saw out of the window of my truck. A very mediocre picture with the road in the foreground and telephone lines above. But I knew there was some good
stuff there and I planned on cropping it back home.

I wanted a long, narrow frame to show the majesty of the storm. I wanted that to emphasize the sweeping landscape. So I made the following adjustments
with photoshop. The clouds need more work but you get the idea.
A couple of more notes here.
1. If you zoom in on the original you get a closeup of the area of interest but you lose the broad feeling which I liked so much. So, a zoom was not
the solution.
2. They tell you that if you are shooting for the web you don't need more than 4megapixel camera. This one was shot with 7.2. I couldn't have cropped
a small area of the image and blown it up like that and still have detail like that without the extra megapixels. So, as far as I'm concerned, the
more pixels the better in a camera.

Repeating shapes
An image design consisting of shapes in a repeating manner can be pleasing to the eye. Here's a desert scene consisting of overlaying ridges caused by
erosion. It has a sense of peace.
