Bridalveil Falls in Color and Black & White
As I mentioned on my previous blog entry, Bridalveil Falls in the Fog, it was a pretty foggy afternoon in Yosemite Valley. Since I had time, I just kept waiting for brief clearings in the fog. This image was taken about a half-hour after the first image I posted yesterday. Since I like the tones…

Bridalveil Falls in the Fog
I have wanted to drive up to Yosemite after a big storm all season. Between the one-car-family, kids and other commitments, getting everything inline is a tough thing to do.

Change is Good?
It didn’t start off as a total re-design on all of my photography sites, but it just happened that way. It was bothering me that my top header was really too big for my tastes. I’m always telling other people (on other forums) that the pictures should be the focus, not the other fluff. So…
