Eric, while I take snapshots, you make photographs. Framed perfectly.

Thank you thank you Don.

I cropped that one a little and slightly changed 4 or 5 things like "saturation" and "contrast". Here's the original.

Small changes can make a snappy pic from a so so pic I've found. Not much change on this one though. Actually this one says "copy" too so the original may be lost. No I see that it's a "copy" of the original. So this is as the camera took it. My modifications are small and I may not have improved it. The biggest "mod" is cropping down the amount of "framing" trees and dark looking beach.

Anchored on the set of Pirates of the Caribbean and a shot of me, my brother and Mom in Fraserburgh, Scotland in front of my Great Grandfathers boat circa 1963. PS. the avatar photo is the entrance to Fraserburgh harbour.

A few of my favorites from last summer in S.E AK.

Copeland Islands near Desolation Sound.
The Coors Light in the photo is purely coincidental...

Not my boat, not my wife, and I have no clue where this is but I like it!

"Miss Ruby" was a looper boat passing through Michigan. I was intrigued by the design, so launched off on a quest to learn what it was. Turned out to be a custom build from a yard in the Northeast. From that I was able to track down the owners to send them the photo. Sadly the husband had passed away not long before I located an address. But I got a nice note from the spouse who said the photo brought back fond memories....she had just sold the boat.

So as it turns out it is indeed more than just a picture for someone.

Whole family aboard my old Shearwater Yawl, TRUE NORTH, for a week-long cruise in the North Channel in 1995.

"Deep Throat" at The Wharf Marina Orange Beach Alabama

Ying & Yang ... a beautiful Lake Ontario crossing and a tornado just about to hit us in Pungo Creek NC.

Kiawah, SC. Rigged and ready. That's my son on the sandbar casting for mullet.

A favourite from our first year with Badger;

I took this photo of my brother-in-law waving good by as we left the dock a few years back. It was the last time I saw Jim aboard the boat, as he passed away not long thereafter....I think my camera might be jinxed. In any case, the photo now hangs in the salon of that ol' boat...which has been in the same family for close to 50 years. Worth a thousand...memories.

Hey!!! Knock it off, windmill!!! That's my wife!!



But I will admit that it's one of my favorites of her!

Those of you who have been on my boat probably recognize my Bruce anchor.

Gene I love that picture.

The boat's name is "Blade" right?

I remember mostly the stern of your boat in your avatar.

You're gonna start posting again right?

Skidgear, you definitely have an eye for the camera. Love the boat, and of course the color scheme is smashing. It is also a beautiful setting.

Your brother-in-law looked too young to be nearing the end of his journey. My condolences to you and the family. That photo is a great remembrance. Life does throw curves.

Greetings,
Mr. many. http://www.strathbelle.com/
