SOME OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHS.  I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED  PHOTOGRAPHY, ESPECIALLY IN THIS DIGITAL AGE.  I CONSIDER MYSELF MORE A TAKER OF PICTURES THAN A PHOTOGRAPHER, BUT I USE A VARIETY OF CAMERAS AND DO MY OWN EDITING.  MOST OF THE PICTURES RECALL HAPPY MEMORIES OR SCENES.  ALL OF THEM WERE TAKEN BY ME EXCEPT FOR THOSE INDICATED AS BEING FROM FRIENDS AND/OR SOURCES UNKNOWN
