Yesterday, we went for a walk from campus past the Franklin Avenue bridge on the east bank of the river. We stopped and saw an ice climber at Bridal Veil Falls.
I find enjoyment in photographing things I notice around me. Some photos are from a camera phone. Some are from a point and shoot with a 60x zoom. Some photos are edited. Some are not.

Side Light In The Morning
I took another photography class from Eric Mueller yesterday about understanding light. One of the reminders was that I need to take more pictures. This morning, I decided to take some with the beautiful morning light and to explore some textures.
This photo is the only one which was not edited and for that reason I almost like it best. I am going to take Eric's editing class, but I have a voice inside, which I've named "the Puritan" which says things like "editing is cheating". At the same time, I'm also interested in what it can offer, since I am not a journalist.

The rest of these have been edited, but not heavily. I have always enjoyed the textures on the radiators. I can't say that I got the shot that I wanted, but I also wanted to remember my first attempt.

Art Shanty Project 2022
Today was my first time to go to the Art Shanty Project. M and I ventured out today. It was cold, but not as cold as it's been the last few days.
In the Tick-Tock Shanty, this guy leaned to down, so that his face was framed nicely for my pic. I gave him a big thumbs up when I was done. This is probably my favorite pic because of that.
I didn't take a lot of pictures and it was hard to see what I had taken until I got home.

The Curiosity of Youth
Or maybe it's foolhardiness. These two got closer to a couple of humans than is wise. Fortunately, the humans were only armed with cameras.
