Things have been slow lately photo wise. You might have noticed. Work/life has kept me super busy. So I decided to dig back through the archives for a bit, back to before there was ever a forgottengrain.com and show some of my photos from days gone by.

It was actually a lot of fun to do. There are a lot of places and times I miss in my collection. Plus it gave me a bit of encouragement, looking back at old work and actually liking some of it. A lot of them (probably all) were taken with rinky dink little cameras from here and there and that was fun to see too. One downside to having a new spiffy digital slr is that everybody tends to compliment the camera... I miss the "you took that with that!" days. Now people tend to see my camera and nods as if my camera knows how to take good pictures all by itself. : )

This first pic is from the north shore of Minnesota along Lake Superior three years ago on one particularly wonderful day when fog rolled in just as we reached Grand Marais (you will see several more photos from that one day before we are through). It is a very dear place to Ocala and I. We escaped to there from time to time, especially early in our relationship. We were rather punkish back then and seemed somewhat isolated and out of place, but something about it felt like home. We have made a goal to move back there someday.
