Photography

 One snowy night back in November, hubby and I went out for a drive, because who wants to stay home in a blizzard when the roads are slippery, say most people. Anyway, we stopped downtown and got out for a short walk (slip and slide). I told hubby I needed to cross the street to take some pictures. 

So I go tromping through the snow while he calls after me to be careful and watch out for cars. I took about a dozen pictures, and when we got home I realized I got some pretty good photos.

I posted three of them on the Hometown Ripon page and over the course of two days my post gathered 2.2 thousand likes. At lease 100 people joined the group just so they could comment, like and share. I read some of the comments with the shares (of those that were public). People were sharing to family and friends, "This is the town where I was (born, used to live, grew up, live now)". Wow, just wow. If I had a dollar for every like I would have 2 month's rent!

Forward to today. I got a message from Amy who is putting together the 2026 Destination Guide for the Green Lake Chamber of Commerce. She said she would love to include my photo in the "Explore our Area" page of the guide. She sent me this picture.

It's just a Samsung phone! I'm impressing myself lol

I guess I should find a way to offer some of my work for sale. I have some outstanding photos, here and there, through the years.
