All of the photos in this blog are taken with Panasonic Lumix Cameras. I’ll write the camera and lens information below the images. The small Mirrorless G series cameras fit with my desire to always have a camera with me. Most of the photos are taken in and around where I live in Portland, Oregon or on my travels for Panasonic.
My other photo photo blog is located at www.mtoal.wordpress.com
