some creative fun, try coming up with a storyline from these images,
in the order they're in. Then email your story to editor Pat. If it
doesn't put him to sleep and he has enough money for postage, he'll
mail you a fun prize for your effort & your story will eventually

Fog lifting in early morning over the Battenkill River Valley in upstate New York, by Bruce Squiers.
When Bruce Squiers isn't working at his "real" job as a daily newspaper photographer in New York's
Capital District, he's looking for nature/wildlife situations near his home in a rural area along the New
York/Vermont border. He's slowly transitioning to digital imaging, of which this photo is an example.

Also, a photographer, now has over  237 photos in e zines.  He does close-ups of trash tossed away in alleys and on sidewalks.
Now, he is doing a series called “mystic vegetation.”

An army of inspectors descended and decided he could no longer live in his home, so Duane Locke left Tampa to relocate in
Lakeland, Florida.  He lives by a lake with swans and many wild birds.  The fall was a “Fortunate Fall,” for he now lives in a more
desirable and pleasant location at Lake Morton Plaza.  The only disadvantage is that he can find no trash to photograph, no broken
beer bottles on sidewalk, no litter as it was in Tampa.
