I don’t know anything about the parentage or breeding or background for this little goat. He was in a pen at the Vermont State Fair, along with a few other baby goats. He probably had no idea that he was being photographed.ย I don’t think that goats have a concept of what a camera is.…

Results of the 2014 Big E Photo Competition
Rough day yesterday.ย Just absolutely rough.ย Suffice it to say that I screwed some stuff up that shouldn’t have been screwed up in the first place.

My 2014 Vermont State Fair entries are…

Last year, two of my pictures were initially disqualified from the Vermont State Fair’s photography competition because the dimensions were too narrow on one side (the pictures needed to be a minimum of 8×10, and two of them had widths of about…
