Siesta Key Beach is a beautiful very white sand beach on the Gulf. It is just 15 minutes from Debbie’s house, so it is a place I go often after my normal work day. Mari, after looking at my photos, said that most people are looking for beautiful vistas to capture, while I am looking down at details on the beach. I am fascinated by the changes that each wave brings to compositions on the beach. I can stay in one spot and the continual motion of the waves brings new surprises and delights.

On a technical note, I do find that looking at the compositions on the LCD screen to be a bit frustrating. Very difficult to see precisely what is happening because of the brightness of the ambient light. Using the viewfinder on the G10 is almost useless because of the placement on the camera and it only shows 77% of the scene. When I get a little more money I am going to purchase the HoodLoupe 3.0. It is a loupe that fits over a 3 inch LCD screen and you can put it and the camera right to your eye and compose like a conventional SLR camera.

Hey, Sam, nice going, whole thing, including links.
A suggestion for your resume, would be to put another version up there that includes smile pix so people know what the hell happened the last bunch of years…. you could do a humorous, honest account of artist trying to find other ways to make it through.
then again, maybe you want things left as they are, no smilepix mixed with art…
anyway, the internet is a golden blessing and you are making wonderful use of it. i like how here i am, take me as i am no supersonic efforts or apologies, just the joy of stepping back into life. May all go well!
I am clearing clutter in stored belongings and finished a mega job today. Talk a bout empowering. I am lit!
My love to Mari,
see ya,
