Photo #1

It’s important to… Click to enlarge!

I’m hoping that the idea of posting a photo a day will goose me to try to get a share-able photo every day. This is impossible but it worked today. I love these guys, two brothers with their beards and flags.

They don’t believe the bullshit we’re told every day either. They own  property up in the  mountains,  spend  the  summer  chopping  wood  and  the  winter  selling  it  for  firewood  to  the  snowbirds  who  winter  in  the  low  desert.  They  look  the  part, don’t  they?

        As far as I know…All had gotten the CV…….including Lisa Marie. Two were a set of twins, boy and girl. We were told in 2021 that people would start dropping like flies in 2 years…It’s happening. sigh This makes 6 in my family alone….

    Great pics! That is A LOT of content. How many years do suppose it took you to compile all these peeps?

      Well, I’ve been on and off shooting since the 80s so it’s hard to say. I went for many years w/o a shot.

    I loved your people photos. In my opinion, they are your best subject.

      In the early days, I thought Allan was not that interested in filming people….Hey, he just hadn’t got around to it! – he is killer good! – no one better in my opinion.
      He captures their emotions, even in silhouette shots of the person.
      I love all his drone photo’s especially.

        I have come to see people as THE subject, even with landscapes. Trying to learn how to get them to not ‘pose’. Sometimes it’s as easy as saying ‘don’t pose’, sometimes not.

      I know. Takes a lot more pizzazz to do people well. I love when I get lucky and go for it.

      Often I’m the only subject around that will cooperate. Gus can be a pain.
