I'm a career firefighter. But my real passion is the outdoors. I just recently got bit by the photography bug, and this is my first attempt at a blog. I'm not much of a writer, so please don't expect much more than pics with description. As this is a learning process for me, please feel free to critique my photo's and tell me whats good or bad about them. Rich.
