Some friends of mine are in a Black & White Photography show featuring the works of Jerry Bosworth, but also including works by David Hoffman, Franka Gabler, Cathy McCrery Cordle, G Dan Mitchell, and Jonathan Bock. Thus, the monochrome image above by yours truly. I may never get in a show, but I can share others’ shows and toss in something that corresponds to the show, right? Works for me! (**I am NOT upset that I am not in shows. I don’t pursue them. It’s my own fault. I don’t attempt to get into juried shows either. I’m just not good at that stuff at this point in my life.)
I will be a at the reception and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve seen some of the work and it is outstanding!

Yesterday we went for a little drive and had a visit with some friends. Oh, and we also met up with some human friends! We had great fun with both sets of friends
Dan has a new lens so I used the 100-400mm his new lens replaces. It’s huge. It’s awkward and, as he told me today, I’ll get a lot of bad photos. Indeed I can verify that as I look at all the shots from yesterday. I’m not sure I’ll come away with even one that I truly like, but this will at least show you some of our “friends”.
Of course I won’t give up on everything I shot yesterday: I’ve learned to be slow in deleting things, as my eyes see differently as I gain some distance.
