Welcome

Welcome to my blog.  Since I don't tweet, text, Facebook, etc, you are witnessing my first tentative steps into the 21st century with this initial post.  It could be something akin to witnessing a train wreck, but who could look away from that?  The purpose of this page is to share my photographs with my friends (and anyone who stumbles onto this page and returns again is a friend) and to improve my photography through critique of those who view my photos and through my own critique as I decide which to publish.   I hope you enjoy my first post, which consists of photos taken in Monument Valley earlier this month.
