Wanderings bio picture

Thousands of Words in Pictures

Who am I and why am I taking these pictures?

On December 8th of 1998 I started an online "journal" on one of the first "community" websites on the web.  After a year or so of writing I purchased my own domain name just to be able to add images to my writing.  My "journal" bio is on the primary nsrider.com website (link on the menu above) and you can find the bio here

I've been busy doing, but finally, after 10 years of publishing, have figured out a fast way to upload images and text without working with multiple webpages.  I've just officially joined the blog world.

I think this will be a great way to create a life log.

I chose this particular Wordpress premium theme because it allows for large images.  The big sky and expanse of the southwest lends itself to panorama images which I frequently stitch together.

I hope you enjoy your visit.

Photos of the day 1.21.2012

Bit out of sequence, since I should post an article about my daughter’s film showing on Friday nite, but the photos are not as good as the story, so I’m posting from our Saturday jaunt on the Manhattan Beach.

There was  a big wind and I took about 20 minutes to try and get a couple of shots I liked.

These are not bad seeing as how I’m using my wife’s new replacement pocket camera since my nikon travel lens decided to quit last night in the middle of my daughter’s show.  I brought it along for the show and the grand daughter’s birthday which was the next day, Sunday.

I picked the travel camera because it did have a fully manual function and reviewed well.  My travel camera has bit the dust, the lens got full of dirt and it’s not worth the repair costs since the manufacturer (Panasonic) won’t cover the dirt as a warranty item.  Don’t buy Lumix.

Success here in my opinion.

Ok, so it takes a while sometimes to get them posted – but this is the best of Tuesday morning as the moon was setting over Mt. Taylor, about 70 miles west of where I live.

I never get tired of looking at the New Mexico Sky.
