+These photos are a sampling of my photography portfolio.  Being behind a camera
+is my creative outlet, and I love being able to look back on past experiences.
+
+The photos of Natural Bridges, Horseshoe Bend, and Shiprock come from a trip my
+wife and I made to the American southwest in the beginning of 2018.  It is an
+exceptionally beautiful area of the world, and it is really hard to point a
+camera in the wrong direction.
+
+The shot of Horseshoe Bend is the classic shot.  It was also the photo I put
+the least effort into---the key was arriving just before sunrise (this helps
+with both the huge tourist crowd and the light; the sun is behind me in this
+photo).  I mounted a 12mm lens, set the tripod on the edge of the cliff, and had
+this photo about 10 seconds later.
+
+Shiprock is a natural landmark in New Mexico on the Navajo Nation.  It has
+religious significance to the Navajo, so it is not possible to get closer than
+a few miles away by car.  When I took this photo in January, it had just
+finished snowing the day before and the sky was overcast; it's unusual to have
+a photo of Shiprock in fog like this.  I could have composited out the telephone
+poles, but I actually kind of like them as they give a sense of scale.
+
+The photo of Owachomo Bridge is from Natural Bridges National Monument.  This
+photo involved about 15 minutes' worth of light collection at 18mm and f/2.8 
+(plus another hour or so of setup).  I took multiple exposures and stacked them
+using software to amplify the night sky against the noise of the camera sensor.
+Natural Bridges is one of the best places in the world for astrophotography
+because they go to great lengths to minimize light pollution.
+
+The other photos are miscellaneous photos from various one-off projects.  They
+make good desktop wallpapers!  I also enjoy taking portraits, but I've omitted
+that part of my portfolio here.
