Varanasi 23 Variation Captured from a large rowboat offshore in the Ganges river. I actually like the Variation better than the original. (Click the image to see in full size.) This does invite a question as to the dividing line … Continue reading →

Pistol 2-21 This photograph was largely accidental. An unintentional overexposure led to a rather striking capture. All booboos should be as lucky. ——————- No posts until approximately August 31. My wife and I drive to southwestern Massachusetts for my daughter’s … Continue reading →
