Sometimes, when I’m picking a photo for Photo of the Day, I’ll make up a title to go along with the picture if it only has a camera assigned image number. Today it was too hard. What would I title it? Beautiful Lake? Really Blue Sky? Awesome Photo? Awesome photo works. Hey Angela, awesome photo.…

Good things happen on Half Dome
Back in June, I brought my Sony video camera on the Half Dome hike. I got about an hour of good footage. The highlight was the chance capture of a marriage proposal of hikers Kevin to Ryanna while on the visor. I filmed the 3-minute encounter and later met them and gave them a copy…
