Fall in western Massachusetts

Well, nothing like some weirdness to kick off this blog. These were taken in western Massachusetts while on vacation in the fall of 2006. Nothing like some fine blue sky for the background. There are more in my collection that I'll eventually add.

Welcome

Somewhere along the way, I probably chose the wrong career path. When I was in high school and first got involved in journalism, I loved everything about the field - from writing to editing to taking photos, it was a ton of fun. Gradually, I dropped the photography side of things and focused on writing and editing.

For a short time a few years ago, I got the chance to take photos again as part of my job. I loved it, but once again it wasn't the main focus. And I don't have the courage right now to pursue photography as a career, but I can be convinced otherwise.

To be honest, I don't know that much about cameras -- when it comes to lighting, F stops, speed and whatever other lingo is out there, that's not for me. But quite honestly, I feel like I've taken some good photos over the years of various things. So instead of keeping photos on MySpace or Facebook where only a select number of people can see them, I thought I'd give this a try.

So here's to attempting something new ... my next blog posting will come soon!
