American Photo Magazine Getting Thinner

I know that we need to cut down on the use of paper and other materials but when I received my latest edition of the American Photo Magazine, I was shocked at how much was missing.  Literally, it looks like they cut the magazine in half.  I flicked through the issue and saw a couple of articles that were of little interest. 

If @AmericanPhoto wants me to continue subscribing then they need to beef up their material. 

Thanks again for reading!

Village Life

This is a photo from a village just outside of San Pedro Sulas, Honduras.  We went to visit this village and see first hand how some of the villagers live.  Some homes as you can see have no walls or roof.  We actually visited a young man who was working on putting some pieces of metal on the sides to provide shelter from the rain.  He didn't have enough wood so we provided him with the wood that we had used to build the altar back in town. 

Butterfly

Butterfly

Here is a photo of a butterfly that I photographed while visiting Six Flags Vallejo, CA.  They have a butterfly exhibit that has lots of beautiful butterflies in it.

Thanks for looking.

New Mex

I was driving through New Mexico recently and I came across this huge mountain.  Right away I thought of the movie Close Encounters.  I was able to drive around a bit and get this shot.  Not really the best since the telephone poles are in the way. 

Thanks for looking!

On The Edge

Here is a photo of a cliff formation that I photographed while driving up to Colorado.  I shot this photo while still in New Mexico.  It reminded me of the way the earth has so many different layers of colors within it.  The bottom portion is darker red and gets lighter as it gets higher.
