Image Number 6,000, Bosque National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, February 8, 2010
Six thousand images in 14 days
That's more pictures than I've taken in a lifetime and it's taxing my ability to keep up with the tossing and sorting and cataloging. I'm having trouble getting out of the tourist mode of snapping everything that moves. With the rapid fire this new camera is capable of (a wonderful feature in its place) I can easily end up with 10 or 20 copies of an image I won't end up keeping. Like number 6,000 above - a poor image in a sequence of poor images. The Cranes flew and I got 'em by gorry! Phew...

More Toward Realism than Fantasy
I've always been drawn more toward realism than fantasy, because it seems to me that realism is endlessly interesting and finally indeterminable. Realism is a species of fantasy that's much more integrated and hard-core than fantasy itself, but if you are ready to come to grips with the inevitable slipperiness of most available facts, you come to recognize that realism is not a direct approach to the truth so much as it is the most concentrated form of fantasy.
