sights of life from a passerby

About

First Light, Last Flake

Ten years ago, this blog became a fun hobby, a place to share a few photographs — and thoughts — about the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains. I still live in the foothills of this gold discovery country. Job and family changes, though, distracted from photography for the last several years. Once again, my digital SLR is coming out of its bag. On hikes or snowshoe treks, though, the cell camera has become the more common photo tool. I hope you enjoy my humble photos — and ironic expressions.

    • Thank you. Your articles do indeed inspire and help. My only regret is that I have such limited time to indulge in photography.

      • When I lead photographers in their study of photography I tell ’em to practice photography the same way they would some musical instrument. And suggest trying for an hour a week…any subject, any time of day.
