Hi Tim! Thank you.

I bet it's cold out in Alberta at the moment. I have a son who headed out to Revelstoke in BC a few weeks ago hoping to work there for the season.

I know, the road is an important part of the image when taken from the top. Mine was much lower and had just an annoying triangle of tarmac..

Yes, I understood why you did it 🙂

Hi Lynn, it was interesting reading about your journey with a camera. I look forward to seeing more photos and the stories with them. I’m in Leeds UK. It has been a while since I lasted visited Scotland. But I have been really feeling a pull to visit recently. It’s a beautiful country.

Thanks, Emily - I'm always very thankful for where I live as it is such a beautiful part of the world. I visited Leeds very briefly many years ago and can't remember much about it, I'm afraid 🙃

Hi Like your short photo jouneys. Photography are a lagre part of my life living in North-Norway. Posting alot of pictures but want to do more writing to support the pictures, my be Substack are the right medium?

Expand full comment

Hi Arild, thank you. Substack certainly offers a platform to add writing to your images and experiment as to how you want to do that. That's what I'm doing here 🙂

I too have been a lover of photography since childhood when I also had a Kodak Instamatic that only took black and white film. I still remember my disappointment but also quick learn when I saw my photo is a spider in the grass. As you can imagine, the spider on the grass didn’t show up in black and white. I currently live in Minnesota, USA but have had a life of packing and moving since I was 2. My father was a Lutheran pastor and so am I, hence the moving. Looking forward to seeing where you go with your camera.

Hi Eunice, thanks for introducing yourself. Yes, I remember lots of disappointing photos from the Kodak Instamatic - more my lack of ability than anything else, I think.

Glad to have you along for the journey 🙂

I'm looking forward to following along on your journey Lynn.

Thank you, Ross - likewise!

Hi Lynn, it was great to meet you with your enjoyable introductory post. Thank you for subscribing to my Substack! (otherwise I mightn't have found your Substack, there's so many newsletters aren't there, and I'm still feeling my way around the platform too.) I'm from Dorset but have lived in Cumbria for an age and love veering north to the highlands and islands.

Hi Bee, likewise! I meant to comment on yours but got distracted (attention span of a moth at times!). I found you because you'd liked a post by Lily Dunn. I was hovering over the little thumbnail pictures and I was curious. And, yes, there are so many newsletters - it's mind-boggling and I get totally lost at times. Now I'm going to go and comment on your post 🙂

hi lynn and welcome to substack! i'm not really interested in your stories but i don't mind them either. i'm more interested in your photos (i do believe that one can tell a story by putting few photos together without writing one single word) and looking forward to see them. and the most interesting part is what you said: the camera helped you make discoveries about yourself! now that is something that you should explore! and please don't stop at travels photos, you're making jam - that can be a lovely series of photos, a story itself.

Thank you.

Haha, I do like your honesty! Well, hopefully I'll keep you interested in my photos and, occasionally, you may even enjoy the writing 😂
