I have been in photography since the days when Kodachrome was the film of choice (we'll not go into how many years ago that was). Back in those days, I had numerous photos published in textbooks and editorial magazines.

My favorite subjects to photograph (starting with most favorite) are:

classic automobiles

Route 66 and ghost towns

amateur (and the occasional professional) models

anything rusty and/or crusty

nighttime Strobist pictures

landscapes and scenics

Some housekeeping:

If you make me a contact and you have porn in your photostream or if your contacts do, I'll block you. I might not discover this right away, but I eventually will.

If you would like to use an image of mine for profit or commercial use and are not willing to pay me anything for it, please do not even bother contacting me. If you don't work for free, why should I?

I try to contact all who e-mail me, but I am very busy, so it may take awhile. If your request is timely, I will get to it right away. If it is not, please be patient. I also try to reciprocate for those who comment on my pictures. Also, please do not be offended if I don't comment or fave your pictures. I do stroll around Flickr a few times each week, but there is only so much time. When I do see a "wow" picture, I will usually comment on it.

Thank you, all, for visiting my photostream!
