A video about the life and times of Ansel Adams helped me find that missing link. His compositions are exceptional.

Vancouver Island: A Return Trip. Releasing My Inner Creativity ». The Dale family moved to Cadboro Bay near Victoria, B.C. when I was about 15 years old. After years of renting Mom and Dad finally could afford to own a home. Newly built to their specifications, it was their palace. Looking back, I’m sure it was a financial stretch but they did it.

Author Archives: Stu Dale. Out of the Park: A Home Run. I wrote in my last post, that I had registered again for a course at Image Explorations 2016 offered by Laurie Klein, noted teacher, photographer and infrared photography guru.

So while we were away I managed to fit in a 2 mile walk on most days as well as a bit of pickleball. Must keep the ticker ticking!
