    The Harrier

    I found Mrs. Harrier today in Valley Forge.  I stayed with her for probably a good hour taking thousands of no good photos.  But here are a few culled from all the others that I kind of liked.

    I’m still going out almost every day, but my focus recently has been to follow Ray’s lead.  Take off the teleconverter for a while and photograph more of the scene.  Sometimes that means the subject is smaller in the frame.  I have not had much of a chance to practice, but at least am…
