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

Learning About The Sun
We had a talk at my astronomy club tonight, from the brilliant astronomer who conceived of a huge new solar telescope, designed it, and found the funding to produce it. He showed some wonderful high resolution movies of the Sun's surface that were mind boggling! I photographed him giving his talk, and even brought one of my lights to improve the lighting. But I really didn't think the photograph was flattering. So I waited until the Question and Answer session at the end of his talk, and when he stopped near a painting of a Space Shuttle launch, I took some photographs there because the natural lighting was much better. Then I cropped it for dramatic effect. Just to give you something different.
