1000+ year old sitka spruce and DOD
quinault, wa

in memoriam rollin cooke walton, Dear Old Dad, gone to be with the Lord he loved 08/06/08

DOD always tried to encourage and help everyone. his love and compassion were a blessing to people beyond count. he was always ready with a helping hand and encouraging word. he had his faults, as do we all, but always took responsibility for his actions and tried to make amends if he had wronged. beloved by many, he will be sorely missed. DOD passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends who sang him some favorite hymns as he slipped from the bonds of this earth. gone but never forgotten r.i.p. DOD

this picture was shot at the end of september 2007 on the last, of many, trips that DOD and i took together. it is one of my faves of him. there have been many great men throughout history but i can think of no one i'd be prouder to call father.  enlarge for best viewing and please click a thumbs up; i'd like this to be number one of the most popular pics of mine as a small tribute to a fine man

Another of those fabulous mountains right outside my window.  I had forgotten I had a filter on the lens, but when I uploaded it to my computer I decided I actually LIKED the way it looked.  It's just different than most of my landscapes so it made for a nice change.

I just ADORED this place!  When I saw this, my first thought was, "This is an enchanted glen."  I snapped the shot and I was in love with it.  And yes, this place really WAS that green!  Amazing for Utah, let me tell you.  I could just sit here and enjoy this spot for hours.

PLEASE HELP!
Okay, I really REALLY hesitate to do this, but I'm going to tear a small page out of dedmanshootn's book.  I don't like to, because this seems a little self-serving of me, but things have gotten way out of hand and I'm anxious for it to stop.

For the last month-and-a-half, someone's been brutally attacking my website.  Whole pages of my Most Populars will disappear in one fell swoop, I've been fielding hundreds of spam notes (which is why I had to put up the "Comment Approval" option even though I hated doing so), and I've even been fielding phone calls from telemarketers because whoever this is has put my number on call lists.  This person has even put spam notes in galleries of some of the people who have made comments on my photos recently.  He/she seems to be tarketing in particular my top few photos.

I don't like to do this, but I am asking you to please help me combat this in any way you can.  I think this is a despicable practice; it is senseless, petty, and immature, not to mention very, very wrong.  I wouldn't even ask this -- in fact, I've been trying to deal with this quietly for nearly two months now -- but I am truly at the end of my rope here.  This just shouldn't be allowed to continue.  For ANYONE.  In fact, if anyone else has been having any issues like this, I would LOVE to know, so I can help out with you as well, and so I can give the smugmug powers-that-be some of that information also, since I'm trying to work through them a little bit to explore my options.

Anyway, if you're uncomfortable with this request at all, please don't worry about it, I do understand.  It's awful to ask.  But if any of you could feel comfortable commenting on a few of my top photos, just so we can show this guy that this is NOT appropriate, I would appreciate it.  And let me know if there is anything I can do for you as well, I'm always happy to reciprocate.

i'm finally getting some of the pics from the car show last week-end processed. this bumper was so mirror bright i couldn't resist taking a portrait of my sis and me, especially when i saw how the image warped with the curve in the bumper. i'm fighting a cold so decided to use this today and stay in and sleep a lot
