Photography

I became interested in photography when I was stationed in Cubi Point in the Phillipines in 1971.  I began with a Mimolta SRT-101, and ended up getting Minolta MK by the time I was stationed in Diego Garcia in 1973. I got to take quite a few pictures in Diego Garcia because of my interest in photography, I became the Command Photographer and shot hundreds of photos during that time. I will be adding some of the better ones to this web site.

During my travels, I took mail order photography courses and while I was stationed in Naples, Italy,I was able to take some college level photography courses. Most of my camera equipment was taken during a burglery while I was away on vacation with only my Minolta SRT, and that put a damper on my photographic hobby for a while.  The cost of replacing my cameras and sending my film to a reliable lab in the US wained my photographic enthusiam.  But when some of the labs began sending not digital images but began using the internet to post them before the prints and negatives arrived in the mail, I began to get more interested in photography as a hobby.

Digital Cameras I have used:

My first first purchase of a digital camera over 4 megapixels was a Nikon D60 (reviews here).  very nice beginners fully-automatic digital camera.

A couple of years later, I purchased a Nikon D300 (reviews here).

My latest purchase is the Nikon D7500 (reviews here).  I have been using this camera for the last 6 months

About These Photos

While most of the photos on this site were taken by me, I'll be including a few taken by others (my friends,collegues, etc.). This website is just a place to share my photos with friends.

Most of the photos were taken with cameras of ten megapixels or more capability. In some cases they have been cropped, and all have been scaled down to no larger than 640 pixels per side. This makes them printable from the web site with most browsers (if you click the print link in the upper-right corner). If you are interested in the larger, original size and detailed photo without the desciptive text, just click on the photo. A new window will open with a1024 pixel-size image.

I'm an amateur, doing this for fun. If you like any of these photos, great! I am sure you can find a lots of great photo galleries online.
