WELL IM BACK TO DOCUMENTING JESS MOORE'S AND MY TRIP TO BIG BEND RANCH STATE PARK. POSTS FROM MY SIDE OF THE STORY HAVE BEEN LIMITED DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, AND THAT WAS BECAUSE I HAD NO TECH! LOL.   PRAISE APPLE I ACQUIRED THE HARDWARE NEEDED TO PROCESS VIDEO ADEQUATELY AND THEN SOME, SO IM OFF TO THE RACES.

WITH THAT SAID IT HAS OCCURRED TO ME THAT I NEVER REALLY OUTLINED WHAT MY REASON AND PHILOSOPHY ARE REGARDING ALL THIS PHOTOGRAPHY MADNESS.  I GUESS WHAT I AM HOPING FOR IS THAT PEOPLE WILL KEEP UP WITH THE SITCOM LIKE EPISODES AND ESCAPADES ALONG MY PATH OF DISCOVERY.  THE TAO OF PHOTOGRAPHY IF YOU WILL, CONSTANTLY LEARNING AND HOPEFULLY EARNING SOME BADGES OF MERRIT.

IN THIS EPISODE DAY TWO IS APPEARING ON THE HORIZON, STILL DAZED FROM A HARD WON TRIP THINGS ARE LOOKING FAIRLY PROMISING!   UP EARLY WE CLIMBED THE RIDGE THAT WAS PART OF OUR CHORRO VISTA CAMPSITE, AT THE TOP FRESNO CANYON APPEARED WITH PURPLE MAJESTY AND WENT ON AND ON SEEMINGLY FOREVER!

THAT LED TO THIS POST'S MONEY SHOT AT END OF VIDEO.

AFTER THAT AN INCREDIBLE HIKE DOWN A SHEER CLIFF FACE LEADING TO THE MAJESTIC VIEW OF MADRID FALLS NORTH OVERLOOK.  THE HIKE AND THE VIEW FROM THE CLIFF-FACE BUTTE WERE INSPIRING AND BEAUTIFUL.   IN HIND SITE I TRULY WISH I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO CONSERVATIVE WITH MY CAMERA ON THIS DAY, WELL WITH ALL OF THEM AS A MATTER OF FACT AS I'M CONVINCED I MISSED SOME GREAT OPPORTUNITY. THE REASON I GUESS IS I WAS LULLED INTO THE FALSE ASSUMPTION THAT I JUST COULD'NT SHOOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.   IN TRUTH THE OPPOSITE WAS TRUE IN THIS CANYON LANDSCAPE. BUT THAT IS PART OF THIS JOURNEY. IT'S ALWAYS TEACHING WITH PERFECT HISTORICAL ACCURACY. LOL
