About Boats

I retired from the U. S. Navy 7 yrs. ago, have a family of 5, hers, mine and ours, and love my wife and kids. I started photographing about 6 yrs ago seriously, had never taken a class until this past summer. Now I own my own business, work for the U. S. Army full time, shuttle my girls to dance class, to go to college, and now intern. Check out my photos and let me know what you think, good, bad or indifferent. If I don't know I am not going to be able to grow as a photographer.
