My Life Motto is: A Smile a day just isn't enough! The more smiles the better!

I retired in 2005 and look forward to spending more time traveling, sightseeing, and enjoying the wonderful places I have not yet had the chance to see.

Since digital photography began I have become a hobbist. Now on my third generation camera, I am still learning, shooting everything and sooner or later I am bound to get a few good pictures. And now with Image Stabilization they aren't so shaky. :)

Also, you can learn a tad more about me at my website.

I enjoy doing what is called "Photoshopping". This blog and all of the entries will be of original photos and then results of what I have done. I do it all for fun and if you'd like me to do one (or more) for you, just let me know. Enjoy! :)
