Sharing of photographs

The beautiful thing about digital photography is the ease with which one can share photographs.  Back in the days of film photography, you had to make a print or set up for a slide show and take the time to show the images.  There is a lot to be said for being in front of the person who is seeing your image for the first time because you can see the reaction is has in that person.  You get to see what they think about the image and what it means to them.

I was looking for something the other day and came across some slide carousels from a presentation I gave to the Sierra Club and the Charleston Photography Club a number of years ago.  I pull them out and have been working to scan some of the images so I can once again share the images.  Since I will not be right in front of you when sharing these images, I would love it if you will post a comment to let me know what you think.  I hope to post a series of these images over the coming weeks.

Here is one image from Grand Teton National Park which was created over the 4th of July holiday in 2001.  This is Moulton Barn with Grand Teton in the background.  The first day I was in the park, I passed right my this location without knowing it was there because I got up early (before sunrise) to shoot in the north area of the park.  I spent the majority of that day asking people where Moulton barn was located without finding anyone who knew.  It was not until I was heading back to camp that afternoon that I realized I had passed right by it early that morning.  Spectacular place!  I shot this image in both 35mm and 6×9.
