I have always enjoyed capturing pictures. During my twenty one year Navy career I did what most Sailors do. I have a collection of 35MM Slides which highlight my time in the Western Pacific. I retired from the U. S. Navy on December 31, 1981 and later obtained employment in a factory. I retired from the factory on September 1, 1999 and quickly joined the Middle Georgia Camera Club. Since then I have also joined the Photographic Society of America where I participate in a General Topic 35 MM Slide Study Group and I also participate in a Digital Photojournalism Study Group. I appreciate the opportunity to learn more about my hobby of Photography.
