*** I have full ownership of every photograph depicted***

*** A note about my nudity*** I was a college student in the 60"s and dating an art student during my 3rd year. She did many sketches and paintings of me. Most were nudes. She suggested I model for life drawing classes for some extra spending money. I said I would but before my first unveiling I chickened out. I talked myself out of it with too many "what ifs!" The thought stayed with me and gratefully I got several more chances many years later. ***

I guess one would call this a photo blog. It is me, my life and some of my adventures. And of course places of interest and things of beauty that our world has to offer and I had the privilege to witness.

I have added the album " poem - thoughts" for further expression.

What you are seeing here is just me being the hippie that I could not be back in the 60's. Just a slice of life from an open minded point of view.

I am a happy amateur photographer. I like to shoot travel, nature and female nudes. You can find my work here on Flickr by going to: www.flickr.com/photos/jw2899

The "just life" album are everyday snapshots covering my lifespan, my parents and vintage photos as I find them.
