UPDATE:

Well, apparently SOMEONE doesn't think my face will break their camera...I've been asked to do some western modeling. Yes, I'll post photos...if you can stand it.

I realize it's been a little while since I posted new photos. I've recently relocated within New Mexico, and have not had time to take any new photos. I will, just as soon as things settle down here. Also, I'm losing a considerable amount of weight (two inches dropped from my waist since August), and the new photos will reflect that. Also, as I firm my physique back up, I might take some shots to document that development (maybe some of my female friends might appreciate that). Hey, don't be such strangers! Send some flickrmail sometimes...after all, how the hell am I supposed to know what all y'all want me to take photos of?????

NOTICE: IF YOU "FAVORITE" AN INORDINATE NUMBER OF PHOTOS WITHOUT COMMENTING ON THEM, I WILL BE COMPELLED TO BLOCK YOU. IT IS EXTREMELY RUDE TO "COLLECT" AND NOT COMMENT, SO IF YOU'VE FAVORITED A TON OF MY WORK AND NOT LEFT A COMMENT, YOU MAY WELL FIND YOURSELF WITH NO MEANS TO SAY ANYTHING HERE AGAIN. SO, BLUNTLY, DON'T FAVORITE AND NOT COMMENT AS WELL!!!

Historian, former rodeo and current working cowboy. Served in the USAF (flew). Have also taught, and still do. As for age, well, let's say I'm old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway...

Plenty of hobbies and interests (running, weight training, horsemanship, painting, among others), open minded, but not so much that my brain has fallen out...always looking for new knowledge and information from different sources. My photographs aren't artistic although I do try to make them well composed and well executed, but are more of a way of documenting things. If I DO manage to achieve some level of art, PLEASE let me know!

NOTE: IF YOU ARE SO ILL-MANNERED AS TO BLOCK ME FOR WHATEVER REASON, REST ASSURED I SHALL RETURN THE "COMPLIMENT." I BLOCK PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF RUDE COMMENTS BEING LEFT ON A PHOTO, OR AS RECIPROCATION FOR BEING BLOCKED MYSELF. IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE ME A FRIEND TO SEE MY PRIVATE PHOTOS, I WILL STUDY YOURS BEFORE I DECIDE TO RECIPROCATE OR NOT. MY PRIVATE PHOTOS ARE ONLY FOR THOSE WHOSE WORK I LIKE OR WHO I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH FOR SOME TIME. SOONER OR LATER, I WILL GET AROUND TO ALL FRIEND REQUESTS. PATIENCE IS ALL I ASK FOR.

INCIDENTALLY, IF YOU'RE JUST SOME REPULSIVE SLIME, YOU'LL ALSO BE BLOCKED...PREEMPTIVELY AND WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE!

Comments are welcome, as are suggestions for future subjects. The vast majority are my own photos, but a few web photos are there...usually ones I just like, or somewhat smart-assed photos. Those are identified. Occasionally I'll take a web photo and modify it in some way...maybe you could call them mine then, but I'll stick with saying they're modified. Those are in a specific folder.

UPDATE: Some folks just don't get it. I've received some very nasty comments on photos, and the offenders have been blocked. Look, if you don't like a photo, just don't bother to comment. I'll delete the negative remarks, anyway, and if the comment is suitably nasty, place a block on the person who made it. I'm a nice guy, but I do have my limits, and ugliness is one of them...if you're going to be ugly to me, I'll be ugly back. After all, fair's fair.
