Regular readers know that I like to take photographs. I tend to download from my digital camera and print 8 1/2 x 11 images of my one or two favorites right away after a shoot. These favorites I assemble into what I think of as "my local neighborhood" photo book. It is one of my favorite couple of moments to leaf through this photo book when I want to relax. Here's the index of what my photo book looks like.
