Hello Everyone.

Hello Everyone.

I have been away from home for nearly a month trying to help my parents through a difficult period of adjustment. I have no idea when I will be back in New Mexico.

Ross-I don't get a good internet connection all that often right now, but I finally got a chance to look at the pictures, which are great. Looking at these reminded me of some of the reasons I feel so homesick. I was trying to place these locations in New Mexico when I realized they were in Texas. To tell the truth, these are parts of Texas I have never seen before. (And a big improvement on what I had seen to date).

I may be wrong, but I think what Eva has noticed is that several of the pictures have been what I call "stitched". If I am correct, that means several pictures are taken, and then software "stitches" them together to create a new "whole" from those parts. I sure can't say if some of these have been stitched, but that's what it looks like to me.

For many, software has a big role to play in modern photography, but it hasn't been a big interest of mine. (I do have an Apple program called Aperature. I only understand about 10% of it, but I like the part I use). I have never invested in photoshop, as I have always spent my entire "photography budget" on new lenses. So far the "lens" temptation has been much stronger than any "software" temptation.
 
At this point, Indy or Tony swears those are all natural pics. I know he's got a very expensive camera and I don't doubt that he's used some software to color enhance richness in some, but I don't think any of them are photoshopped so to speak.
 
I have wondered and wondered if you went off and left us, Dennis. I have been off some and have missed you. So sorry to hear of your parents need, but know you are a great son and are there for them. that is so nice. I spent a couple months w/my daughter and they are so wonderful to me. We parents are so privileged to have good children.

Nice to see you. Know how you feel about internet connections. I live in the country and have the problem all the time.
 
I have no idea when I will be back in New Mexico.

Uh oh ... does this mean I'll miss you when I'm in NM for my Route 66 adventure in a few weeks?


Thoughts/prayers to you and your parents....
