"Gort, Klaatu barada nikto!"

Photographs

We all know that a picture is worth a thousand words.  And every writer counters that by saying that it took words to express that thought.  I happen to love great photography (maybe you could tell from my AA McCay books).  And I find images inspiring, moving, and humbling.  Below are some of the pictures I’ve taken with my cell phone.  I know it’s not as sexy as AA McCay’s Nikon D300 in its elegant Subal underwater housing, but it fits in my pocket better.
