This blog is totally and completely random. Whatever I'm thinking or is going on at the moment, I put it. Totally unorganized, I know. I should pick one subject and write about that, but where's the fun in that?
Bryce Canyon, Utah in May. There was a light snow falling, and one day I hope to get back there and be able to get a shot with the red sediments glowing under a bed of white.
I was recently having a conversation with someone about the uses of Facebook, My Space, Twitter, and Plurk, and other social medium sites.

Photobucket was one exception to this invite situation, but their site has always felt awkward and cumbersome to me and while I have an account there, I rarely use it.
