"Order and simplification are the first steps toward the mastery of a subject." --Thomas Mann I am still climbing those steps, ever upward. Mastery? No. I think of it like trying to reach the horizon. You will travel far and learn many things, but you will never reach it. But in the end, it is about the journey and not the destination.

"Never be afraid to sit a while and think." --Lorraine Hansberry I found this little bench along a trail near Riverside Park on a bluff overlooking the Milwaukee River. I loved the way the trail split to go both ways around the bench and the small cluster of trees behind. That, combined with the soft light from the mostly cloudy sky, framed the little rest area nicely. So what did I do after capturing this shot? I sat down to think.

I can't believe it has been almost exactly 26 years since I was in Death Valley National Park. I was going back through some (very old) images, relatively low quality scans of 5x7 color prints, and found this image of some sand dunes shot in June of 1990. I was out there on a three week trip with a couple of great friends from high school. And the valley was only one of the many stops we made. We drove from Texas to New Mexico to Colorado to Utah to Nevada to California to Arizona and back home, hitting just about every state and national park on our way.
