safe haven for tiny formats

Austin, you make it look so easy.

You're too kind Jay.

Here's one that could go with it:

Trucker's Chapel, Exit 278, Interstate 5, Oregon


Believe it or not, I wanted to be a trucker at one point when I was a boy. I used to study truck catalogues from companies like Kenworth and Mack. I'll bet there are some good photographer-truckers out there. That kind of life could make a great photo project.

Kav,

Those are really beautiful, and a nice departure form the usual floral fare. So delicate and fragile and fascinating!

Austin,

Believe it or not, I am a current holder of a CDL, complete with Tanker, Hazmat, and Multi trailer endorsements. It's a vestigial requirement for working here in Prudhoe Bay. Fortunately, I don't get much seat time!

Great image, by the way. One of my many unrealized projects is a study of mobile homes as American architecture.

Thanks Jay!

The desert is full of tiny plants. The main reason I bought a macro lens was to be able to photograph them. I've been very lucky to be able to wander the deserts all over the world, and every one has it's own distinct but tiny flowers. And these tiny things amaze me. The first photo is a good example of how little some of the plants are. Those are grains of sand in the background.

The arctic is another kind of desert, and we have some beautiful and tiny flowers here, too. Maybe I'll get some photos when they bloom. Excellent work!

| "Because it is there" |
In 1924, when asked why he wanted to climb Everest, Mallory is famously said to have replied: "Because it is there"
He was right. If you desire to climb a mountain you don't need specific reasons: go and climb it just "because it is there" ;-)
