Jigsaw Puzzle compliant

Many of our pictures in New York were captured during that "waiting" period where we had found, bid, qualified and ALL but CLOSED and MOVED into our new Redbird Inn.  We took this time as a fun time to explore the area, knowing full well, once we got moved in and stocked our barn with animals, that our time for exploring would become very limited.
 


On this day, we'd actually set out to find Lake Saranac and log the driving time and distance.  We'd already researched the Ice Castle activities for February, and were looking for nearest hotels, eateries etc.  I would gladly submit this photo as a candidate for a jigsaw puzzle.  Your thoughts?

Reflecting in New Places


As you will soon discover ... simple photography just is not enough!  Early on in this new endeavor, I discovered a passion for reflection photography!  I will shoot hoards of shots, hoping that ONE is the perfect one I am after.  When will I EVER learn that with me, perfect is purely accidental!  I cannot plan for perfect, I foil it everytime! 

We got ourselves LOST accidently on purpose one day in New York, when we had nothing in particular to do on this given weekend.  We stumbled on this little beauty!  I saw it and said ... TURN BACK!  It was amazing, the calmness mother nature affords us ... the farmer even had a turn at snapping some choice angles for our treasured spot of the day.

Where I am in Photography

My interest in photography came late in life.  I actually possessed a nice 35mm camera, but never put it to the test on what it was capable of putting out for me.  WELL, precisely 7 years ago, I picked up my Olympus with renewed interest, and quickly "Snap, Baby Snap!" became my motto!

   I have only ever had TWO photography classes in my life (not to include the one I repeated just so I could get access to the dark room)  and these classes were at adult school in 2002.  While you may see many flaws in my photo-takes, you will also see my style, mood and enthusiasm flowing out.

All pictures will be selected randomly since there has never been, is currently not, and therefore will never be "any sort of ORDER" to my chaotic life.  Enjoy these accidental photo wonders of our great nation!  Snap on!
