It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Niagara!
The four of us drove to Niagara Falls today, on a bright sunny day. Haven't been here in years and years. What a stunning place. Since I first spent time here in the early 1960's the American side of the falls has been transformed into a beautiful park, and there are so many different viewpoints for both the American falls and the Horseshoe falls, on the Canadian side. I wore myself out shooting photograph after photograph - what a joy to have so many wonderful things to shoot! I thought it would be hard to pick a favorite, but as I watched the people in raincoats navigate the complex of stairs on the "Cave of the Winds" tour, I knew I had the best photo of the day. It looks as if they are present at the end of the world in some way! I just love the mystery - that we are not sure what is going on, and the beauty of it all. I am looking down on them from the precipice of the falls, about a hundred feet above them.
