Thank you for visiting.
My plan is to keep it simple: that is, to have a relatively small thematic gallery here, and to change that gallery from time-to-time.
This is an avocation - done for the love of photography. It is an odd pursuit in this age of the ubiquitous selfie, when we are all photographers with our phones. Bless us, but I still love the magic of going out with a camera, with some intention, taking pictures, and later - only later - discovering what I have.
I do only very basic, minimal processing of pictures -- a bit of colour correction, some black and white conversion etc. - but no phony buttermilk waterfalls, impossible fake purple skies, or wrinkle-free faces and the like. I prefer things to look pretty much as they come out of the box. The exception is if I am trying to recreate a look, say Kodachrome film or a gallery of palimpsests, but in those cases I will state what I have done. No AI, it goes without saying.
Some pictures have unsightly copyright notices on them -- sorry! It is my feeble attempt to thwart the scooping up of photos by search engines and AI without proper credit or attribution. Perhaps noble, but an effort doomed to failure, I know.
The front page picture of the gentle horses with the hills of New York's Washington County in the background (and the Adirondacks further back) was taken at the Merck Forest in Vermont. I am in northeastern New York State, near Vermont, but do get back to Ontario now and then.
Take good care, and be well. PSC (May 12, 2025)
