Pictures

I don't know very much about photography technique, and I don't have any special equipment (although that's finally starting to change), but some of my photos turn out well every so often, anyway. (Technically known as the scattershot technique, not entirely unlike the proverbial thousand monkies at the typewriter.) Here is a collection of my favorites:

• Slide Show
