  4. Mellow Curmudgeon – My blog touches on many things, often with humor and/or haiku. I have been a scientist; an engineer; an Alzheimer’s caregiver.

  6. Tom Kostes – Traveling... – I first fell in love with photography in the days of film. Back then I developed my own film and did all my own silver gelatin printing in the darkroom. It was all very exciting and magical. Eventually, I began to fall in love with color photography. Dealing with color labs was never fun, and the results were often less than my vision, so when digital came along and I was given the power to have total control of my images from capture to print, wow! What a blessing. I have a fine art background, so I tend to think of my camera as my paintbrush and lean to the fine arts side of photography. I once considered myself a landscape photographer, but in truth, I will capture anything, and anyone that tugs on my heart strings. While the technical aspects of photography are very important, what concerns me more is the results; however, you get there. Does the image move me in some fundamental way that makes me want to explore it more deeply? I create images of things, people, and places I love, that capture and speak to my heart, mind and spirit. Sharing them with others is important to me, for I am part of the human race and want to share the beauty and wonder I find all around me, from my doorstep to out in the big, wide world. I love this earth and all these denizens who inhabit it. I want to capture and create images that illuminate the wonder it is to be alive, here, now, in the middle of dark space, on this astounding planet that by some miracle, just happens to exist at the precise time and place, as to allow this phenomenal flowering of life to take place. Anywhere on this globe that there is the slightest chance for some life form to exist, it does. To me, that is a wonder, from "wonder into wonder," I travel. This whole world is a jewel, precious beyond compare, and I am a witness to that beauty. If I am blessed enough to help in anyway to preserve it, I will feel privileged.
