That first shot, especially, is priceless.

I really like those monochromatic memories.

I’ve gotten in the habit of taking photos with my phone during all my hunts and then transferring them to my laptop. The plans are to piece them together into a journal at some point. I have a photo album, with note pages with each photo page that my wife gave me one Christmas. I have film photos of my late German Shorthair with her first duck, our trip to South Dakota, etc. Once I get done organizing my shooting gear and books with the new shelves I got for Christmas last year, I’m going to start putting the computer photos together.

Rick, I think your journals/writing would be quite interesting, and I for one would enjoy them. I kept notes on my hunts from 1983 thru the early '90's, but stopped for some reason. In 1983 , I found a copy of Gun Dog magazine, with an article by GBE in it, and that piqued my interest in keeping a journal. Funny, even though we see each other only 1 afternoon/year, I can tell you have many stories to share..
