So I think I should share "Media" right away so folks know it's really moi - how about a rock? This "rock" is one of my more "famous" rock photos. I took it in a glass display case at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show years ago in 2007 with a point and shoot camera. The "rock" is an amazing geode from the Bisbee mines and owner called it "Velvet Beauty". Back then it was valued at $25,000. I have thousands of photos on my flickr account that is now about 20 years old. Yikes!

This photo reminds me: why the heck do I need the full frame Canon camera and all the prime lenses and spend hours with Lightroom and Photoshop? When I can just get out a tiny JPG-only camera and do no editing whatsoever and get a photo that has something like 375k views? Hmmm, maybe I should just mostly use my cellphone camera like I have been for a while...
