About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

Farm stand SALE ~ Wilmington, NY - in the Adirondack PARK • click to embiggenIt's been almost a week since my last entry. My intention had been to post an entry last Thursday but a number of things hit the fan before I had to leave for a 2 night stay in Lake Placid.

Even then, I came back home on Friday to process a few new pictures (while the wife was attending a retreat), load them onto a flash drive and return to Lake Placid where I would make an entry while waiting for the wife to wrap things up. Didn't happen. A few other things came up along the way back to Lake Placid so, when I arrived, the wife was already in the room and ready to boogie.

OK, then - how about Saturday? Well ... I arrived home to find the furnace not working (50˚ inside). After dealing with that issue, there was just enough time to spruce things up around the house and get ready for our 8 dinner guests. Once again, the entry was not gonna happen.

Fast forward to Sunday and ... no internet. There was a 30 hour wait until service was restored. Turns out, the service went down Saturday evening and it wasn't restored until very late Sunday night. I'm dedicated to keeping readers informed (and amused?) but ....

All of that said, I have posted a number of pictures in this entry to make up for lost time. The pictures are in chronological order starting with late Autumn snow made on my first trip to Lake Placid then a few from the Mirror Lake Inn (where we stayed), and one more made on my Friday trip home to process pictures. FYI, Lake Placid is only about 20 miles from our house.

More pictures tomorrow and an announcement about a new book project.
