I have to say that I am quite fortunate sometimes.
Today, as I was driving through Peartle Springs I envisioned a photo opportunity immediately. The image I saw turned out to be of a lady named Valerie. She is 82 years old and has been a fisher-woman since she was twelve. Originally from Kansas City, she [...]

Going out with my trusty Canon 5D and L-series lenses, I was fortunate enough to snag some great landscape shots. I went to Peartle Springs, a park that is within a mile of my school.
