On Blue Sky

Thanks for visiting On Blue Sky. My name is James Edwards and I hope you enjoy some of the pictures I've taken on my travels and adventures during the time I've had my boat, Blue Sky. Some of the pictures are from the boat or of the boat, but I'm not always on the boat and many are from hiking or other trips.

I try to take good, interesting, high-quality artistic photographs, and enjoy getting better at that, but that isn't the purpose of this site. I include pictures that add - probably at an abstract level - to the "OnBlueSky story." I may leave off some that are too close to images that are already posted, or aren't good enough, and I may add some that aren't perfect if it adds to the story. Though more for convenience than artistic reasons, there is almost no processing or photo-editing. And the pictures aren't always added in chronological order. Sometimes I go back and find something that happened awhile back, especially if I think it's time for an update.

Feel free to drop me a note! I am always interested in hearing which photos people like best - it often suprises me.

Updates

I aim to add a new picture about once a week or so, but that can stretch a bit longer on occasion. Drop me a request if you would like to be notified by email when a new picture is added (your address will not be used for any other purposes), or subscribe to the RSS feed.

The last picture was added Tuesday, July 06, 2010.
