Only recently have I begun to discover the world of photography. I've always had the interest but never took the time or I felt I didn't have the time. Looking back over twenty years of service to the US Navy, I have missed countless opportunities. I will try not to miss any more.

Thanks for visiting my photostream. I hope that you will leave here with kind words as they always tend to come back to you.

If you have a suggestion or comment on how any of my photos could be better, please let me know so that I can learn from all the (probably much more talented than me) photographers on Flickr.

So since I have know Dale (about a year now) I have been watching Dale's work progress from just learning how to operate the camera's many modes to what he has become today...a true and artistic photographer that is full of life and eager to capture it. I think in the beginning I inspired him (can't possibly see why LOL), but now he is MY inspiration and I thoroughly enjoy visiting his stream day after day (almost stalker like...please forgive me....LOL) and hearing his great ideas! His enthusiasm to try new things, explore new places, experiment with creative ideas, and learn/be inspired by others has opened my eyes and made me more open as a photographer as well! So I OWE YOU a thank you Dale! =) Keep up the inspiring work my friend!
