Vern nice Ann. You caught that magic look where light snow clings to
trees. It doesn't last long. Perhaps it was still snowing a bit as
well? That would account for the frosty, foggy background. I also like
the way the light comes through the trees only in the center of the
shot.

Landscape photography during the winter months, in foul weather. Nothing
else, photographically, comes close to the enjoyment I have doing that.

I don't enjoy the shooting, but the rest of the process is fun. BW
portraits are what interests me, but trying to come up with creative
shots while the subject is waiting terrifies me at times. Once the shot
is done I enjoy the rest. Processing isn't exciting but it is kind of
soothing, gently

LOL! No, it's just that if someone tries to interrupt me when I'm
shooting, I might snap at them. :) Actually, every time I've taken my
tripod out, people have been very nice and given me a wide berth. :)

That would make it the perfect story (not that such a thing exists g).
I truly enjoyed your recollection, Shel.

It may have been, but I'm not really sure. There was another that I received $100.00
for (big bucks for a starving photog in 1968) that
may have preceded the fish.
I was walking past a uniform store, and there was a mannequin in the window dressed in

Fun. Can't say I've made a profit out of it.
Have sold some photos though. Quite a few, in fact.
Dogs are the subjects (surprise!). I don't think I'd ever sold a photo
before this year.
Must be me having a professional camera now an' all ;-) ;-)

Most of my involvment in photography these days is for money; either
shooting or assisting. Right now I like the challenge of having to get the
shots, because someone is paying you to do so. It's very different than
shooting for friends, family or even second shooter. The pressure is
greater, but
