I often aspire to capture a great image in camera.I have worked for several years not on both technical and artistic abilities.

The days are rapidly getting shorter as summer starts to turn into autumn. One of the interesting things that happens in the summer at the Russian River is the erection of summer bridges and dams. With summer ending, and fewer people in the water, the dams are starting to come down. This picture is one … Continue reading
