About Dachshunds

Daisy the Dog

I caved. We got a dog today. Daisy is a purebred dachshund.

Rainbow

We had a rainbow over the neighborhood, when our new family member, Daisy the Dog arrived. 

My rock spot

Self portraits are a challenge, if you have ever tried to use the auto-timer feature w/o a tripod you know what I mean. I set the timer and nearlly fell off the rock face trying to jump up here in time. The photo doesn't show me panting to catch my breath. 

Otter Rock

My old camera was only capable of decent shots in good sunny weather, this was one rare occasion. 

The Tree

Taken the same day as the bridge photo, this one I enjoyed enough to use as a wallpaper for a while. 

Random Photo

Some of my favorite photos involve water, this shot was taken during an evening funraiser carnival at Stephanies school. I took two angles of the relection of the bridge, this one has the best lighting.

View from the water

Spending time on the water is my favorite pastime. In this shot we were enjoying the weather CA has to offer as well as the smooth water found on the delta. 

Let's get started.

I have been mulling around my mind my next online experiment. Since my first experience on the internet I have always been fixated on how the instant gratification of sharing and connecting with people around the globe will change the world we live in forever.

My first experiment was my personal web space I called "Ah-Wake'n" where I shared my family photos, my hobbies, and my experiences. This led me to start my first real website, www.themud.com that was sparked by the interest people had in my photography of the Foster Mud flat event held here in Oregon. My interest in the "Mud Fest" never grew as large as the vistors and fans of my site, leading me to turn over the site to the event founders, for use in promoting and serving the event better than what I could provide. Now I find myself without a website, and without an outlet for my photography and opinions.

Ben's Viewpoint will be a temporary hang out for my ideas and imagery so enjoy and feel free to leave me your viewpoints, as without them, I would be talking to myself.
