Coming from a fellow of your background, that has me pumping out my chest, as much as you and I can do at our ages. I was so busy with engineering and management responsibilities toward the end of my career that my photography activities, which began in 1952, sort of fell by the wayside.? It was not until I retired that I got to pick up those activities again.? But, I guess I really got active after my wife died.? As you know, that's a tough blow.? Living alone, I started paying more attention to what was going on around me, and started pushing the shutter button more often. It has been a good way to keep up with great-grandkids as well. Occasionally I'm asked to shoot a family group shot when they are together.? But, this summer, whether it's age or the global warming, I have been limiting my time outside.? Maybe after Labor Day it will finally cool off again. Again, I appreciate the kind words!
