the way I see the world
This is another image from our 2017 pack trip. I really like it, but because I (typical me!) didn’t use the tripod it isn’t one I could print very large. Still, I think Dan will enjoy it.
Reminder to self: the tripod, while cumbersome, is worth using.

If you click on the link to Dan’s image above it won’t be the image he is making here: he is, instead, pointing the same direction I’m pointing. If I find the image he made in this shot I’ll link to it.
I seem to enjoy shooting the shooters. Just can’t help myself, I guess!
Three Photographers on the Dunes at Sunrise, 4,3.19
There is nothing like finding a shot you really like, only to realize it’s an iPhone shot. This means it looks just fine at a small size, but no way can it be printed large. Trust me. Perhaps the next time we go to the desert I’ll keep that phone in my bag and use the better cameras more. I can dream …
Here is Dan on the Dunes. This is a photo that Dan actually processed, so I can’t claim it completely as my own. But it was my photo initially. On my phone. So I put a copyright on it but really that’s kind of a lie, right?
And the title of the one below speaks for itself. 😉
I’m Taller
Who is this guy and what’s he doing in front of my trees?
Okay, maybe not mine … and yes, Dan is the landscape photographer in the house so it makes sense that he’d be shooting a landscape. What doesn’t make sense is that I shot this on the iPhone. But maybe I did that to send to our kids … I can’t remember! And of course placing him smack dab in the center of the image is a bit odd too … but there you go. Still, I’m posting it because I like this guy. A lot.
Dan & The Aspens, 10.9.17
I love being married to someone who has a passion for photography. I also love being able to take photographs of this master photographer. Here G Dan Mitchell is, doing what he does ever so well!
I posted an early quick version of this on Facebook and Google+ while we were still in the desert, but here is my “finally I’m in front of a screen I can work with!” version.
Dan @ Work, 3.30.16
Dan and I were in the desert for a few days. I am always happy to go there, and it never ceases to amaze me. I look forward to getting back home so I can work on photos where I can actually see them: using a small laptop is difficult as I can’t focus on things well. (Odds are I’ll work more on these two, in fact, but I at least wanted to post something here!)
Here, though, are just two things I posted earlier on Facebook and other social media sites.

Sand, Sky, Clouds, 3.30.16
When photographers get together to work this is how they might sometimes work “together”. Yesterday we met up with three friends and visited some birds in the central valley. The birds were much noisier than we human folk!
I am a person who likes to be alone, and socializing, while enjoyable, can really tire me out. Doing photography works very well for me, because even when we get together with others we go off and do our own thing so much of the time. Then we tend to get together for a lunch break, enjoying the company of friends, and later head back out to do more shooting.
I wonder if this is why my music career works so well for me also: while I am always working with a rather large group, we don’t chat much, and I’m “together but alone” in some ways.
Just pondering …
