This article is an example how I’ve been “writing” the past few years : commenting on a sequence or collection of photographs in ways that sometimes have nothing to do with the subject matter of the photos. It’s also an example of how the embed feature works with smugmug sites. To embed this preview header here in Medium, I had to include the trailing backslash. And the Medium editor could not embed the whole page like the new Google Sites can.

Redwoodtwig.com is a smugmug.com site that I have been using for photography as well as documenting other aspects of my life. The images in the art section are worth printing and hanging on a wall, many of the other images are more reporting on events or plants or things that happened and not quite what I would consider 5 star images. Though every once in a while one of my taken-just-to-record-it images turns out to be five star. In this article I discuss some of the techniques I’ve used to get what I consider print quality images.
