Just a cell phone snap, but it's from my ride to work. 
Who would have guessed that my little tale, the very First one I ever submitted to Lush would be read by so many? It shocks me a little to realize that it has now served over 20,000! Charge NurseThank you so very much to those who have read it!

Wrench for adjusting alarm clock balance pivot cones  Here is a multi-sized runner I made, for polishing clock pivots.  This is the lens I hold in front of my digital camera to take close-ups, and the adapter collar I turned from some scrap.  I had to put a new mainspring in my pocket watch. My Dad had an inherited watchmakers bench and tools in the house when I was growing up(still does actually). I've watched him use it occasionally when nessecary. These pictures made me think of him :)

I think one ofthe toughsest things I have tried to take photos of was a record snowfall we had in February, 2010 - 30" Here are a few of my efforts:

 I drive by all the hot spots.
If you haven't, you should read this award-winning story. Fine, fine, I only won a potato, but I'm sure you won't be able to peel your eyes away from it.

I have not made the word too paranoid right? I usually make now 3 copies. All get stashed in different locations. I do not trust the hard drives much, just my thoughts.. I do not have a valid reason not to. On another note: what I find complicated is the cataloging (for retrieving) of the photos. What do you use?

.....Besides, its the lens that makes the difference most of the time.
Great comment. I’m a photog enthusiast. When someone ask me regarding a camera because they want to take those great photos that they see, I remind them that it was the trained eye behind the camera that took the photo. If they ask me again, as most often happens. I tell them (as you have commented) that the camera it’s just a box that used to hold film and now instead it has a chip. It was the lens that made the pic. ...extraordinary photos and techniques, congrats.

I will see what I can dig out of my archives, when I find my exterior hard drive.
It'd be cool to see one of mount everest.

I'm a tad.....anal, there really is no other word to describe my cataloging technique, which is a rather unfortunate description, considering where we are  I have the photos in folders sorted into years. These are then sorted into groupings, headed under each of my children's names,special events, holidays, scenic, garden, pets ect. Then, I know it gets worse, under each folder i sort the images into sub-folders for the months they were takin in. It works for me. Lol if I can remember what year and month they were taken in
