Cold Winter sunset

30 degrees with a 20 MPH wind in my face...
Sunset over Boardman Lake tonight

Moms Old Radio

This is an old Philco radio
Passed on to me from my Mom
I am told that my uncle had 2 of these beasts
and he would put one on each side
and listen to his favorite radio show

I heard it play many years ago and it might today

but the years have left the old wiring old and brittle, like me

So, I will just remember that awesome sound

Old radio shows and simpler times

Words from the Photographer

I am often asked the same questions so I have decided to answer them today
If you have other questions please email them to me and I will reply.

1)  Tomm why dont you enter contests ?
      >>  Simply because I have no chance of winning. I am competing against people who sit in front of a computer and manipulate their pictures and I refuse to do that.  After all of my eye surgery I cant sit in front of a computer and do that.  I like my pictures to look like what I saw. I am happy with my pictures and will continue to do what feels right to me.  I am not trying to compete or impress anyone.

2)   Tomm do you sell your pictures, do calendars, or postcards or prints?
       >>  No.  I dont have the space or resources to do so.  I appreciate your praise of my pictures.  I love hearing that you enjoy them or that they bring you a moment of peace or joy.  The pictures on my blog are shared freely.  If you want to contribute a few dollars to support my adventures, the information is at the bottom of each page, or you an email me at:   Tom@PeacefulExposuresPhotography.net  Thank You

3)  Why do you do this?
     >>>   I do this because it brings me peace.   it helps me keep grounded in a very stressful hurting world.  When i have my camera with me, i find people and places and things that remind me of Gods Beauty that is  all around us.  I have seen some amazing things, and met some incredible people along the way

Thank you all for coming along with me
