Photographs are amazing things.  They can transport a person to the location of a shot, and maybe make them wonder what is just off the frame, or over the horizon.  They can inspire us to travel, or spend more time with loved ones.  They can make us smile, laugh, or even cry.

I  retired from the Air Force not long ago, and sometime during my career and travels I picked up a camera, and then another, and another.  I started using a 35mm point and shoot, but now I use both digital and film.   I have always taken pictures mostly for myself, but it's nice to have your work (hobby) appreciated.  I mostly focus on landscapes, because I enjoy being outside, and we live in a beautiful world.
