Dad was a dark room enthusiast and shared his passion. Before college I often found his passion to be a burden, when he forced us to stand in front of every statue, windmill and geyser in the world!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog2007.sheba-kitty-productions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/yellowstone.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-263\" title=\"yellowstone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blog2007.sheba-kitty-productions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/yellowstone.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"289\" height=\"234\" \/><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>(Photo by my dad of the Family at Yellowstone park circa 1970&#8217;s)<\/p>\n<p>But then I took photography, learned darkroom processing and the joys of taking pictures. Later I finally got my hands on a digital camera\u00c2\u00a0so the cost and time of taking\/ processing pictures went down dramatically. I love taking pictures&#8230; admittedly most of them of my dog or my art.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since I bought my first digital camera, I have taken many opportunities to go on Photo Walks. Sometimes by myself, but more often with my dog and occassionally with friends. I prefer to look at things close to the ground, often setting my camera on the ground to take the shot. I love to look for patterns and textures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebsqart.com\/Artists\/cmd_1161_profile_portfolio_Photography_1_3_G.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Up Close and Personal<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0This one recieved an award at EBSQ<\/p>\n<div class=\"DefaultZineText\">\n<p><a title=\"06242005_sewer by Charger's Mommy, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/shebaduhkitty\/75269075\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/6\/75269075_1bd46c4dc4.jpg\" alt=\"06242005_sewer\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This photo has not been altered nor cropped.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seth at The Altered Page will be going LIVE with his next round of questions with The PULSE this coming Monday.
