2025 - A Look Back

Here is a video covering my photographic year, and including a selection of my favorite images. (Thanks to the difficulties with finding photo hosting sites, I find it a lot easier to post this way rather than putting up the images directly, although I will do so if I can get those difficulties ironed out.) I hope you enjoy them.

with the person behind the camera. The photos are . memorable and showcase your artist's eye, but the commentary adds a different element that is very enjoyable. Thank you for taking the time to make the video and share it with us.

Watched the first few but I bookmarked for a little later. Really like the ones I've seen so far!

I love the way you explain what's going on in the photos. And then showing just the photo itself for a moment is so relaxing; all of them are gorgeous!

The series of Mt. Hood photos--which one did I like best? Hard to say! I love the closeups, but the framing of the more distant shots draws me in very strongly. Really, I love them all.

Using YouTube is a very nice way to see your work.

Happy New Year! I look forward to more wonderful and thoughtful photos from you.

Palouse Falls — Excellent composition and shooting angle; falls at left flowing into river beyond. With rainbow included!

Heading For Shore — Beautiful sunset sky, dark land mass below, sole human making their way to shore while waterfowl wallow and freeze-frame motion of waves draw the viewer from the lofty, grand and dark background to the living foreground. Perfection.

The Crow Of Judgement...Renders His Verdict And Moves On — Terrific stop-action! Left leg up, about to come down and you know the right leg will follow, etc.

Discovering Multnomah — Superb alternate-take on the much-photographed entire Falls. Intimate, secretive view; indeed, like seeing the scene for the first time.

Mount Hood From Trillium Lake I — Best of the four, in my opinion. Ironically, I've sometimes found the first in a series of images to turn out the best. Unexpectedly.

Racing Against The Wind — Spectacular image. Breath-pausing. One to take to full screen and just gaze.

Cottonwoods and Aspens at Winton are a set of splendid photos. Gorgeous.

Actually all are fine photographs. You have done a great job putting them altogether for us to appreciate.
Thank You!
