Welcome
Hello and Welcome to My View
For quite some time, I’ve needed an outlet to share the many images I have accumulated over the years and continue to accumulate.
And, so with great trepidation and excitement, I am launching My View.The blog is called My View because my view of the world has always been a bit skewed – or so I’ve been told. Many of my images reflect that. In great scenic landscapes, I see details. In details, I often see landscapes. In both, I often see softened edges or swashes of color. Sometimes, I hear or smell the color, or feel the whole scene. Are you getting the picture? Well, that’s my view. Of course, not all of my images are “skewed”, but many of my favorites tend to be.
Along with thanking Craig Tanner in the About Marti section, I also need to thank Ted Byrne who “gently” pushed me toward this project for the past year. If I’d not promised Ted I’d have it ready by now, it would probably still be a work-in-progress.
On this opening day, I want to share one of my favorite images with you. It was taken on my first real expedition with this strange new technology called a “digital camera” in one of my most favorite places in the country. In addition to being a beautiful place for landscape images, I have a great emotional attachment to Big Bend National Park and the areas surrounding it. This is my favorite image from my 2004 visit to the park. As time passes, you will see more images from Big Bend from 2004 and from earlier years.
All constructive comments and suggestions are welcome as they will help me grow as a photographer and a person on this journey we call life.
Thank you for visiting My View.
