The things I create are mostly for my own amusement. If, indeed, you like them, I am pleased. It is all a learning experience. For those of you who have made comments, I thank you for your most gracious feedback and comments.
I recently upgraded to the gift of a Pentax ist DL SLR camera, with a pair of lenses to go with it, a DA 50-200mm ED lens, and a DA 18-55mm AL lens. I am blessed.
For those who have inquired, I do have the originals on all insets in collages. just ask.
BIO
I am an Entertainer (My band, Sounder). My major focus is my performance on stage. I have worked in all phases of Entertainment production, done some acting, and kept things working or fixed them when they broke. But, when I get away from the business and need time to relax and enjoy some strictly personal time, I create new images, whether abstract or from the photos I have taken in my travels. I have wanted to get into photography for a long time, but never could handle the expense, or the wait for developing pictures, that in many cases were trashed. Then,... wonder of wonders, I was given a digital camera (Olympus C-750 Ultra Zoom with a combination 40X optical and digital zoom, 4 Megapixel)! It has opened my eyes to the small miracles mixed into the "big picture." Most of my "post" work is done with Macromedia Fireworks and Adobe Photoshop. To all of you very kind folks who have recently commented on my work, I thank you, humbly. If I don't get back to you, it's because my life has gotten very busy lately, and I seem to be constantly on the go. I do appreciate your input.
Thanks for taking the time to get to know little about me. Namaste.

Okay!! I believe it and remember looking for unusual parts myself. We don't see beaches like this in N.C., (or I haven't yet!) and sure love the warm ocean water compared to the cold water there at home. Unusual photo, and looks like you could use more sunshine. HUGS!!!

Looks like a recent storm, the sky still "Oregon grey." It's fun to see what gets washed up. I often wonder where the wood originated - what stream or mill, perhaps from across the ocean rather than here in the Pacific Northwest. A nice shot to illustrate the many faces of Oregon beaches.
