Ted Roth in the field
Monday, July 24th, 2006
Washington, Connecticut. My friend Ted has been my tour guide through all of my recent local landscape and nature photography. I have great photo-ops right here on my property but it’s a lot more fun to put on hiking boots and trudge out on an adventure with a fellow photographer. Ted’s been a great guide to places around here that I never would have known about. And, he’s a knowledgeable and supportive photographer buddy. The only downside is we can’t share lenses, alas, he’s a Nikon D70 user.
I’ve known Ted off and on for over 20 years although not as a photographer, we both were early “evangelists” of computers in education and while we worked in different capacities, we met at local conferences.
Here’s the thing: if I take forever to find a dragonfly or figure out how to take a shot, Ted will just do his own thing or gaze out at the landscape for the next interesting shot. It’s easy to be patient with people who are patient with you.
