Sunset on the mountains. We climbed Old Snowy, the peak on the left.

In March 2011 I purchased my very first nice camera and upgraded from a point-and-shoot. Prior to that I used either my P&S or borrowed a friend’s DSLR. With a quality camera – combined with an artist’s eye – I sometimes capture awesomeness.
Following are a few flickr links if you’re interested. I’ll change them periodically, but feel free to explore on your own.

reflected graffiti in an abandoned building near OMSI in Portland. Several years later, the whole place was covered in graffiti, as you can see in this blog post: https://crystaltrulove.com/2014/11/27/photoshoot/ Today, most of this building is gone and it’s a parking lot, but some walls were retained, and the murals that grace them now are exceptional.

I think I’m signed up, Crystal. Let me know when you blog again so I can see if it pops up on email. I never trust myself that I’ve done it right!
And you really should consider writing a book.

Thanks for the compliment, Rahburt. (I’m guessing that’s not the original spelling…. 😉 )

Love the fall tree and love the mountain landscape photo!
Thanks! I do have a bunch of fun with my camera, and it’s so exciting when something turns out really well.
