I have a passion for photography and music. Unfortunately, like most people with a full time job and kids, I don't have much free time for either. On this site I share what I have accomplished so far with both music and photography.
Early photography fascinates me. I have a particular interest in vintage cameras. I collect early cameras and use them occasionally. Even in the age of digital photography, I still enjoy developing my own film and making prints. On this site you will find a gallery of vintage ads related to photography. It's interesting to me to read these ads and see what was once considered the latest and greatest in photography.
My Mom wanted me to be a violinist. For 8 years I took violin lessons. I became a good violinist but never had a strong passion for it. Around the age of 16, a friend gave me my first guitar and I was hooked. Today, I don't call my self a guitarist, because I don't think I play well enough. Let's just say I'm a musician. In my music section you will find some of my own songs.

I have one of those handwarmers that you activate by bending a piece of metal in the gel and after the warmer has cooled you boil it to re-activate it. Now I know how it works.

Horse Chestnut Tree?

Measuring the Horsechestnut Tree
Along the creek that borders my dad’s property are a few Horsechestnut trees, at least I think they are Horsechestnut trees. I was reminded of this during a family visit last Thanksgiving when all the kids decided to play down at the creek. Like good parents, we followed them down to the water and hoped they didn’t get hurt. I noticed the large Horsechestnut seeds at our feet most of which were out of their seedpod. More

Playing My Violin Again

I have recently started playing my violin again. When I was eight years old I started taking violin lessons. I played the violin because my mom wanted me to play. She never asked me if it was something I wanted to do. More
Not A Facebook Fan
Thu, Jul 30th, 2009
Recently, I have received quite a few emails from people I know requesting me to view their pictures or profile on Facebook. When I click on the link to try and view them I am taken to a Facebook page informing me that I must sign-up for a Facebook account to view the pictures or profile. I don’t care to become a Facebook member so I politely email the person back informing them that I can not view their page/pictures due to my reluctance to join Facebook. Why should I join Facebook or any other online social networking site? More
