I am a retired heavy equipment operator / truck driver; a life long photographer; a backroads traveler; and lover of all things outdoors; and a senior citizen; have lived and worked in East Texas; West Texas; ands mostly in Central Texas and for a couple of years in the Reno Nevada area.

I photograph with a Canon SX10 digital , Canon SX70 digital and a Canon EOS M 50 but most of the time use Canon F1, Canon A1, and Canon AE1 and a large variety of mostly prime lens' and three zooms on mostly Kodak Ektar 100 and TMX 100 and 400 and now and then Porta 160 and 400 and TriX 400.. I also use a 1960 model Leica M3 Rangefinder camera with 50mm, 90mm and 135 MM lens' that I enjoy using totally manually.

I am politically independent but do generally vote against anyone that has an R next to their name as I refuse to vote against my own interest.

I do not use photoshop. The photo that me and my camera make is what you see.
