I have two wonderful daughters and four great grandkids.  I do not have to worry about money. And I am &#8212; at age 78, relatively healthy. <\/p>\n<p>I get out to photograph almost every single morning. And most evenings as well. I am privileged to be using amazing Sony gear and to be making consistently sharp images at 1200.mm.  And I have been blessed to have a great friendship with Bob Eastman who drove down from Wisconsin in late October 2024 to spend some quality time with me.  We have been having a ball and just put the turkey in the oven!<\/p>\n<p>Click below to learn more about Bob&#8217;s amazing life that includes sticking his arm in a cement mixer when he was young, several serious industrial accidents, falling off a cliff and being rescued by the mountain squad, and being dropped off a stretcher by paramedics into a swamp! Through it all, he is a smiling happy man who &#8212; like me, enjoys every single day as a gift and a blessing. <\/p>\n<p>Learn more about Bob&#8217;s amazing life <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/2024\/11\/06\/the-amazing-life-of-a-very-happy-man\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>See Bob&#8217;s amazing pelican stealing fish from Osprey sequence <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/2024\/11\/08\/the-osprey-and-the-thieving-brown-pelican-a-fabulous-story-telling-photo-sequence-by-my-friend-bob-eastman\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Learn why your raw files should look washed out on cloudy days <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/2024\/11\/20\/sony-a-1-ii-pre-order-update-when-i-expose-well-to-the-right-on-cloudy-days-my-photos-look-washed-out\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>And Learn why, how, and when to use Shutter Priority (albeit only rarely) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/2024\/11\/16\/shutter-priority-please-do-not-tell-me-that-real-photographers-must-use-manual-mode-100-of-the-time\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>much love, artie<\/p>\n<h3>Typos<\/h3>\n<p>With all blog posts, feel free to <a href=\"mailto:samandmayasgrandpa@att.net\">e-mail<\/a><\/center> or to leave a comment regarding any typos or errors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Happy Bird Day! <\/p>\n<p>The stuffed, 16 lb. turkey is in the oven.
