I have never done photography for profit nor do I sell what does not originally belong to me.

 

Just in case any of you were wondering I do not us an AI to create any of my photos. That said I do use a smartphone to take my pictures and at times the auto AI photo refining (that I can't turn off) makes some of my photos look fake or horrible looking.

 

Most pictures where I'm the original photographer (This obviously means a picture of a picture counts as me not usually being the original photographer.), I will usually allow for use by others, but please ask for permission first.

 

My Site contains mostly photos taken by Me or my wife Paula and on a rare occasion other friends and family members. 99% US And 1% Others. I guess you might say I'm more of a documentary/artistic photographer where as my wife is more of a trip photographer.

 

All my Photos are in Albums, in alphabetical order. So if you are looking for something specific go to my Album list and see if I have a Album that may fit the search you are doing. I also have all my Albums broken down into 4 Main Collections.

 

Please note if you try to use me for advertising purposes I will block you. Please be advised that if you add me to a photo and are not using it for advertising purposes you may get blocked by mistake because 99% of those who used that feature were using it for advertising purposes.

 

Sometimes I will document things I don't agree with for historical purposes, reference purposes, for something to think about or things others may need to know about (of course even if I did agree with something, I would not give my opinion because that is not suppose to be the job of a documentary photographer). It is up to you as the viewer to decide what to agree with or disagree with.

 

I do not support racism or hate speech.

 

I also sometimes take pictures of images from Google Maps (before they update the Maps) with my camera, to document things that have changed, will change or disappeared that I have seen in person but wasn't able to photograph. The only exceptions to this rule are some occasional shots of somewhere I recently visited but missed something I wanted to document, buildings I feel should not be forgotten or historical places I could never get to before they disappeared.

 

Even though there are some things I don't photograph in general I like to Photograph almost anything that existed in the 20th Century. That means things before and during the 20th Century. Most things I photograph are not mine but belong to other people I meet in my daily life. Of course I do also photograph newer thing too.

 

Also None of the "Photos of you" are of me.

 

All digital pictures not labeled with the name of a camera were most likely taken with an Olympus 4 Mega Pixels C750 Ultra Zoom Digital Camera. I do not own or use a scanner. Also the dates are wrong as well, they were taken between Late 2003-Late 2007.

 

I have Flickr Library Of Congress Pictures on my site but to my knowledge I have only posted ones that have no known copyright restrictions. I originally used pictures from their posts as screensaver pictures for my old computer. I still collect some images but mostly from the Bain News Service,, publisher Collection, Roadside Images and an occasional exception.

 

Viewers Note: If you see an album that uses the word "Area" in the Title just note that it indicates that the pictures in that album are either in that location or somewhere in the surrounding area.

 

I have a great love of history, music and photography but due to the fact that I have a Learning Disability, Scoliosis, Arthritis, Chronic Pain, Acid Reflux and Muscular Dystrophy I am sometimes misunderstood by others. I am in actuality really nice and hope I can bring some enjoyment or knowledge to others through the world of photography. :)

 

If you happen to know something about anything I have photographed feel free to let me know. I always enjoy learning new things.

 

Also I do except photo request as long as It's something that I am willing or able to photograph and can locate it. I won't make any promises but I am willing to try if the request is reasonable. I like to photograph many things but keep in mind there are even things I won't photograph. (Generally I don't photograph people being one example.)

 

I sometimes add to favorites pictures I like but this is mostly because I feel a redundant slew of "Nice Shot" seems a little silly. I only like to leave comments when I have something witty, important, unique or interesting to say. That said I like about 80% of the pictures posted on flickr.

Bonus Stuff: If you want to know more about me.

 

My Wife Says That My Two Main Faults Are Watching Anime (I guess that makes me an Anime Otaku) And Talking Too Much. But She Still Loves Me Just The Same.

 

I may call myself an Otaku but I am definitely not a shut in. I like to got out and I would still be working if I wasn't disabled.
