Journal

Stories and pictures about our travels, our photography and the outdoors.

 

Downloads? Yes!

So we are trying something new. We have added a download page. Just click on Downloads at the top of this page. For now we have four titles available. The most recent is “White Sands Black Shadows”. This features 29 images from White Sands National Park. Then we have “Rushing Patience”. Water and rock make for a set of color images we enjoyed making and sharing in a book-like format with some related text. This PDF is best viewed as two pages side-by-side.

The third PDF is “Mountain Monochromes”. Being outdoors people we are drawn to mountains. And last but not least is “The National Park Posters” which is a collection of images made in units of the US National Park System. This collection is formatted with text in the style of Park Posters from the late 20th century.

We are hoping that putting images in PDFs will help you to view the images as they were intended to be seen. For the “Mountain Monochromes” and “National Park Posters” this means you can download and see these images on your larger monitor and enjoy the image as originally formatted, without the cropping constraints of Instagram. For “White Sands Black Shadows” and “Rushing Patience” we hope you will enjoy the sequencing of these image sets. Instagram and social media in general just don’t allow a set of images to be laid out and sequenced in a way that allows the viewer to not only linger over an image, but to delve into a longer subject.

We hope you try this out with us. We think you will find some images you enjoy and want to share. And sharing is another trait of PDFs and why we keep up this website. We want to share some of the beauty and interesting things we see when out with our cameras. So grab a favorite beverage, turn off that streaming service and try something different with us.

Yep - nothing happened when you clicked on the images. You have to go to the Downloads link at the top of the page. We will work on doing links on the journal entry sometime in the future.
