In the first place Sir, you have my respect and admiration. It is not common to see someone photographing at 92 but when that happens and the images are so well composed and beautiful then I have to bow in respect.
I admire you even more when you suffer of such a disease and still you handle your life to full enjoyment. May God bless you.
You have been the greatest inspiration I have had in many years and I thank you for that.

Ditchdodger,

We are working under similar circumstances, but I have a few years before I'm officially "a survivor". I am in my late 70's and was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in January and started Chemo in Feb. The first dose was a disaster, and I ended up in the hospital for ten days to get my systems back in sync then ten more says of twice a week PT to regain strength, stamina, and balance. The changed and reduced the every two week dosage and now all seems well with no pain and little discomfort; and the cancer markers have declined from just under 10,000 in February to just over 100 this week; the Dr. and I are both thrilled!

About your photos we too share a situation there. I'm not quite as as limited you indicate your condition. I still drive, get out with my spouse--shopping or to dinner (on occasion)--but had to leave mu boat 'on the hard' this season so my photography is mostly of what ever I can see from the house or patio in or at the edge of the forest behind the house, and sometimes a Sailboat race off the yacht club on the other side of the river so it is mostly an escape rather than capturing many good shots. Unfortunately the forest is too far away too, about 100+ feet from either, so my longest lens-- full frame Tamron 70-300mm even on my crop sensor camera is a bit shy of what I need for tack sharp shots of song birds and the occasional hawk, and my hands haven't been all that steady since my late 60's so I'm always shooting with a fairly fast shutter priority and if using the Tamron a flexible ISO limited to 800 so like you I do a lot of cropping and PP with PSE 14. I do have a tripod, but hate using the darn (thing I'm being polite!), carrying it around and constantly resetting it when the birds don't wait is frustraring.

I love your photos especially understanding very well the situations they were taking under. You didn't quite say this, but I'd bet you too find the photography a great escape from the boring and tiring just sitting around the house.

Best Wishes and Good Luck!

Jim

Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos and your outlook on life. Both have inspired me. And I needed to be inspired. I hope you will continue to post more photos.

I love the quail shots. We had many broods born in our back yard in southern AZ. They need water ASAP after birth and we had two fountains so they were happy. Unhappily, the broods would shrink daily as they became prey for hawks, Road Runners, rattlesnakes, etc. Such is the food chain.
