...but as I entered the real world of photography, I learned that many professional photographers left plenty of space between the subject and the margins. They then cropped to the image that they had always wanted. Today's picture of Aphrodite...
...demanded cropping: otherwise I would have splashed the eye of my audience with lots of useless clutter from my house. We don't keep a clean house suitable for taking portraits at a moment's whim. I must confess that we still have...

The day after I took this photo, I led a group of hikers at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Preserve. I usually carry at least three cameras on my person, a fact that my followers have heard so much that they feel nausea whenever...
