As you can see, I like to play with my toys. :-) I sometimes sell a few of them.

I've always financed my photography working in machine maintenance, for 40+ years.

I was first published while in high school. I shot professionally while in the Army.

I am a combat veteran, Viet Nam.

Sold a feature article that appeared in the April 2013 issue of Garden Railways magazine.

The models I work with sometimes have wheels... and some have legs. (evil grin)

I'm available to those who may have an interest in modeling. ( either type ) :-)

More and more these days the government is chipping away at my social security check.

That means I have less and less to spend on supplies for hobbies. If it isn't fixable or I can't build it, I don't have it.

Since none will donate I see no reason to maintain a pro account. It'll likely cost $100 this August. I don't have it anymore. Hopefully not too many pictures will disappear. Enjoy the adverts.

Had pro for over 10 years. Now all I get is insults from Istock/Getty.
