I've lived in Louisiana, Alabama, Texas, Massachusetts, Kansas, and Southern California. (Not an army brat - just grew up in the midwest and then wanted to try other states. Plus there was that "going off to college" thing that sends you out traveling a bit.)

 

Frankly I think you'll learn the most about me by perusing photos of others that I've marked Favorites. Often when I'm researching something online I'll randomly do a few Flickr searches and then find hours have passed while I'm just looking at images. Secretly I don't think this is a bad way to spend my time.

 

Images people seem to google for:

 

  

 

I love that particular cemetery.

 

Somewhat interesting sets/collections in no particular order:

 

San Diego Model Railroad Museum

 

Shark in the Swimming Pool House

(or that's what I think of it as anyhow)

 

Skulls and Skeletons Just Catch My Eye

 

Sculptural Hooha

 

Day of the Dead

 

Cemetery Collection

(Really need to digitize my old prints someday, and visit more local spots...)

 

Calfornia Oceanish

 

Random Shopping in the Past, and Current Shopping

(In which I take random shots of things in the store that strike me as amusing or unusual or that I want to google later.)

 

Can be found pondering circles at Google+ here.

  

*************************************************************

If you have no idea who the heck I am and I've added you to my contacts, odds are I like your photography (and the things you've photographed) and/or I'm interested in the camera you're using (and the results you've posted) and/or I'm interested in the places you travel and plan to go there myself. Or you might be posting artwork I find inspirational.

 

I might also have bumped into you on MetaFilter.

 

One of those, take your pick.

Somehow I've managed to start a group called

Plague Doctor

to collect images of/inspired by the plague doctor.

Mostly because I started with one gallery, thinking I'd only find a few photos on Flickr - but was very wrong about that. (And please feel free to add your plague doctor art, if you have any or any photographs!)

You know, this is probably a sign that I really should have tried for a history minor way back when. (Confession: I was an English major, shhhh, don't tell.)

  

 

Image below is made up of a random 10 "most interesting photos." Definitely not the ones I'd have chosen, but that makes it a bit more interesting I suppose. Hmmm.

 

 

And just to double check, here's FlickrRiver's version of the Interesting:

 

  

Once I got paid to play with vinyl! (That was my old Cool Job. Sadly I'm dull these days.)
