I don't claim to be the best photographer, but I like to look at a great photos and so I try to do my best while taking pictures. On the next few pages, I've tried to do my best. Click on the links to see what foolish things I focused in on. All pictures were taken by me, are copyrighted by Doreen Blanding, unless otherwise noted. I shoot with a Canon EOS D60.

Let me here call attention to one of the most universally popular mistakes that have to do with photography - that of classing supposedly excellent work as professional, and using the term amateur to convey the idea of immature productions and to excuse atrociously poor photographs. As a matter of fact nearly all the greatest work is being, and has always been done, by those who are following photography for the love of it, and not merely for financial reasons. As the name implies, an amateur is one who works for love; and viewed in this light the incorrectness of the popular classification is readily apparent.
