    Biography: I've been here awhile and figured it was about time to change my Bio. I recently retired from the California Department of Corrections where I was a Vocational Machine Shop teacher for 22 years, and then the supervisor of the Voc. Ed Dept at my prison until my retirement. Photography has been one of my many interests and hobbies for many,many years. Digital is just a whole lot of fun, and fun is what I mean. If we can't have fun at what we do then we should do something else even if we are trying to make a living at it. That's why I retired!!
    Signature: Some days you're the dog; some days you're the hydrant.
