A coupla weeks before I left on my big Colorado / Wyoming trip, a frog sat itself down on the rim of Bear’s wading pool, demanding that I take its picture. I shot the former tadpole from a few angles; I think these came out … Continue reading A Coupla Months Ago
I have reached a point in my figurative camera roll where I didn’t go on any intensively photographed trips for quite a while. But that didn’t stop me taking a small number of photos at each of several places. So many places in fact, that … Continue reading More Hodgepodge Than You Can Shake a Stick at (part one)
I think the Dodge Motor Company should produce a car called the Hodgepodge. I also think this car should be endorsed by Dean and Rog. But that’s enough o’ that.
