She packed by bag last night, preflight
Zero hour, nine a.m.
And I’m gonna be high
As a kite by then

We leave out at 3am… West Virginia Vacation!

This my Newest Piece of Art. “The Lodge in the Garden” by Alex Deranged.

Alex is a great guy and a local artist. Please support him, very fair prices and does commission work.

I’ve loved photography since I got my first DISC camera back in the early ’80s. I took so many pictures of Kansas and Germany when I was stationed there. After I got out I ended up buying a nice 35mm Nikon with a couple of different lenses and it started. Everywhere I go the camera went with me.

I’ve shot 4 wedding now and several other functions. I only did it because they asked me, and of course, since I was doing it for free the price was right. I hated weddings though. Not because I didn’t want to take photos, but because I was so nervousness. If I mess up on a typical photo I’m taking, No big deal. But, If I screw a wedding there are no do-overs. (well kinda sort of – divorce and remarry) But I still kept shooting everything… documenting my families life along with family and friends.

I’ve gone through so many camera’s I’ve lost count. I’ve had a Sony Maciva (3 1/2 floppy disc) another Sony Mini CD camera, Olympus 5060W, Underwater Olympus, Snappy Q 35mm, Canon point and shoot, Panasonic Point and Shoot, Olympus 3.1 megapixel, Olympus underwater, Canon Rebel XT, Nikon 35mm, and now I’m shooting with this Canon T3i. I’m sure I’ve forgotten a bunch but you get the picture… no pun intended there.

My youngest son and I enrolled in a photography class at a local camera shop. I actually did it for him but after 1 class I had to admit how much I did not know. It was awesome and renewed my love of photography once again.

So when you see me walking around with my camera stop and say, “Cheese”!
