The Wandering Photographer

I have been an avid photographer for many years and shot a wide variety of subjects - concerts, sports, nature, wildlife, still-life, you name it. I share my love of photography through blogging and my website - presenting photos, old and new, along with the "who", "what", "where" and "why". I am a huge fan of both Ansel Adams and Annie Leibovitz - I know, odd combination - and at times in my life aspired to be both.

“Be like a dandelion. Whenever they fall apart, they start again. Have hope.” I found this dandelion a couple weeks ago and decided to edit a bit with a "moody flower" preset in Lightroom I created. It's not bad for a weed. #macrophotography #dandelion #CanonFavPic https://t.co/szymM5Kygc
