Life is about contrasts.  We went up to the Philadelphia Zoo this weekend to practice shooting, hang out with friends and see the baby Orangutan.  Contrast was the theme of the day.  We started off in layers and end up in t-shirts;  as you walked, the sun warmed up your face but a cool breeze caressed your back; trees that were in bud at the beginning of the day were in bloom by the end.  Isn’t life about appreciating the contrasts that we experience;  savoring them for the delight that they bring?  Yellowstone is a study in contrasts;  out challenge will be capturing and conveying them in both words and images.  I’m better with images than words-but the goal of this trip is to hone my skills with both.
