I never forget an image, well almost never

Some people can always remember a name or a face or a story from their childhood, etc. Well I have the ability to remember almost every image that I have ever taken and I think I am reaching close to 500,000 of them. Actually I don't always remember them all especially when I have taken 1,200 t0 1,500 of them each time I do a wedding. But here below are five that I have taken and the years are between 1969 and 1974. I have taken so any of campfires that I now start to get them mixed up but the candles were taken in early 1973.I have been playing taking pictures now for a lot of years and I still have just as much fun as I ever have if not maybe a little more.



This was our yard light that was installed by our home on the family farm. It wasn't there when I was growing up so I knew my way around in the dark pretty well however I sure could have used it just after I graduated from high school because I upset a skunk one night while walking out in the dark. This yard light would have at least helped me see it first.

Utah Beauty

You might think this is a national monument in Utah called "Bryce National Park" or "Cedar Breaks National Park" but it isn't even though parts of those parks look a lot like this. This is actually in Fish Lake National Forest further north than Bryce's and Cedar Breaks. It is always interesting to me how many places in Utah look like the National Parks. I love it and sometimes wish I could photograph all of them and then have a contest to see who would recognize their back yard versus a National Park. It would prove rather interesting I think.

I love sunsets

If there is one thing that has always been an attention grabber for me it has been sunsets. They can always seem to look so much alike and yet they are all very different. I guess what I enjoy the most however to trying to guess which clouds will change color next as the angle of the sun changes in relation to them and the earth. Yes and even in somewhat cloudless sunsets such as these there is still something that catches my attention and holds me somewhat spell bound until the sun is completely down and even then for several minutes after until the skies blacken totally.


I will always look around as well since the area where the sun is directly in front is not the only area that is constantly changing with it's setting.
And then of course I like to get down and see through whatever may be between me and the sun, It always makes for some good pictures as well.
