Sure thing! Here's a couple (Sedona and Grand Canyon).

I'm WAY behind on getting my film developed, but I just sent a big pile off to Atlanta Film Co. that has more shots with the 90mm...I'll be sure to share some of those with you when I get them back.

This old head needs a good tutorial on Negative Lab Pro because my marginally-informed strategy of sliding all the sliders until I get in the vicinity of what I envisioned is not very efficient.

Anyway, here's a shot of Saguaro NP.

Our neighborhood Barred Owl has made his way into my neighbor's chimney...and down into his living room...for a second time.

Antelope Canyon, AZ is one of those places that you could point your camera in almost any direction and get an amazing shot. Go visit if you can.

My kids’ neighborhood gang decided they wanted to shovel someone’s driveway so I told them they could do our neighbor’s provided they complete the job and don’t accept payment. Work has begun.

Ahh, that time of year in Maine when my hands, ridiculously chapped from the dry air, are also enlisted to tighten the skates of half a dozen kids in the locker room every-other-day. Doing well.

Hmmm, who authored this piece, I wonder?

"By Reuters"

Somebody who didn't even have the courage to put their name on it, or was so grossed out by how it was edited that they removed their name.

For-profit academic publishing companies are the biggest swindle around. They get their product - which is often taxpayer-funded - for free, then turn around and charge academic libraries exorbitant fees to access it. 🧪
