Most people who know me, know that I have a thing about photography. Always have. Mom and Dad got me a Kodak Instamatic when I was a kid and that's all it took. When I got older, Dad gave me his Minolta XG-7's. I bought a bunch of accessories and I really got into it. While stationed at Fort Sam Houston I made a friend who was an Army Photographer and we spent most of our time taking and developing pictures. For me that was the cool part, developing. Actually going through the process of taking raw film and turning it into prints. It was a lot of fun and very educational.

Of course now, in this digital age that we live in, my Minolta's are obsolete. So, I putter along with my Olympus. It's a great camera but I miss my XG-7's. So... I'm gonna save my nickels and dimes and get me a Digital SLR, the best of both worlds. It's pricey but worth it, I think.

 

The following pictures are what I consider to be some of my better ones. And remember, as I stated somewhere else on this site, they look a little off because of pixelation issues when taking big pictures and making them small. Enjoy.
