Snow geese, by Pop-pop.

Snow geese, by Pop-pop.

One time, in the mid-1990’s, Grammy and Pop-pop were visiting. Pop-pop pulled out some photos to share: he had about a dozen shots that—when laid out on the table—created this large panorama of snow geese. I don’t remember where they were when he took this, unfortunately.

Anyway, I grabbed the photos and scanned them all in to assemble this single shot. It’s hardly a good stitching job, and of course the geese moved from shot to shot.

But, the best thing? Finding this scan about 15 years later, when I had long since forgotten about it!

In the beginning of August, my friend Pete started doing something called August Break, where he switched things up from photo-heavy posts to focus on some editorial content. What evolved was a really neat format of a photo and a small story. Something I want to emulate a bit here.
