PHOTOGRAPHS are a huge asset to geologists. In the youth of geology, every study began with a detailed sketch of the site and phenomena under investigation. The modern day equivalent, photographs are a quick, inexpensive and often undervalued method of field data collection. With a few pictures on hand, a site can be reevaluated at any time without having to make another trip to the study area. Also, effective communication in published articles and books relies on the use of pictures to accurately convey ideas to the reader. Every student realizes this when he or she tries to decipher a difficult, pictureless textbook. The purpose of this page is threefold. First, we hope that it will encourage the use of the camera as a tool, in equal standing with the rock hammer, essential to the study of geology. Second, we hope that it will educate students about the diversity of the world's geologic terrains and formations. Finally, it should revitalize and strenghen old memories of our encounters in the field. Enjoy.
