About Viewfinder

This is me in the blue ballcap and shades. I live in paradise and I take pictures. That’s not all I do, but digital photography is for me an escape, a passion, a joy to be behind the lens. Then to discover something beautiful or interesting appears! Wow! Beauty and interest can emerge from something quite ordinary, or something that is far from routine. I think good pictures tell stories, and hope mine sometimes do. To this end, I am not above helping them along, with my own comments or with some post processing (even though me and processing aren’t always totally comfortable with one another).

So welcome to my site, please stay a while and leave your comments.

Just be sure that you begin to “look closer” at the world around you. God has made it into a pretty interesting and beautiful place.

Post Processing...
Without shame (or much skill), will use variously: Adobe Photoshop 7.0, PaintPro, Picasa, and Roxio softwares. I prefer to put out an image that is virtually untampered with, unless I am doing posterizing or somehow trying for an extreme look for some reason.
