And Michael, just so you know, my TOOAIN thesis is a working example of Poe’s Law, which says, without a clear indication of the author’s intent, it is impossible to tell the difference between an expression of sincere extremism and a parody of extremism. It’s my humble attempt to get evangelicals (and especially Creationists) to take a serious look at their beliefs by simply holding up a mirror. So don’t worry, I haven’t lost my mind 🙂
Definitely thought there was that kind of motivation John. It really does make one think, and other than to tickle the funny bone, why else write anything?
A photo & travel blog with a difference: Instead of strict focus on photo how-to, gear and the like, I'll pass on knowledge about the places and cultures photographed. I believe the more deeply you come to know a place, the better your pictures will be.
My past careers as science teacher and geologist mean that I can't help but teach about the natural history of photogenic places around the world. But photography is not forgotten. You'll also see practical tips about where and how to photograph the destinations. And once a week, Friday Foto Talk gives photography tips and how-to on a selected topic, for novices on up to expert.
What you won't find here is endless discussion about me braving dangerous weather, terrain or wild animals to get the shot. Nor will there be cheerleading gear talk or marketing pitches. I promise to leave that to other blogs, of which there are many.

“Rugged” seems too light a word to describe this scene. Excellently captured, as always, Michael!
Thanks Dries!
Speechless!
Thanks very much Sarah!

Very impressive!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Thank you Dina. Happy Thanksgiving to you, and hope for a great holiday season as well!
That colour shot is stunning. Yes I’m biased.
Thanks Lyle, I wasn’t going to ask, but hoping someone expressed a preference.
Stunning.
