But before anyone says "Eat lead sucker", I would like to announce my new photography website referenced below. This follows my reorganization of 30+ years of backlogged transparencies.It's a commercial site in the public domain, but the looking is free, so I felt it OK to post here. Please forward and share with anyone you choose. All are welcome.
Just click on any image to bring up an on-screen enlargement.Thanks for your indulgence and I hope its enjoyable.

If I had more money I'd soon be broke...but I'd have more LPs!
And no shots fired? I wore my best kevlar.
I'm overdressed for the occassion.
Great stuff, man. I am familiar with a lot of the territory you covered, and you done good.....really good.
Winston O'Link's photography work? He made some astounding shots. If you don't have his book(s) you most likely can pick up a copy from the library.I really enjoyed the few of your pictures that I had time to look at while I am here a work. I am sure that I will enjoy perusing them all when I get home (about 1:15 AM)
cheers, and thanks,

I have a couple of his books and even managed to get a print at auction some time ago.
He made those great train shots with a lot of passion and hard work. No strobes and remote triggers back in that day. He set up massive flashbulb banks far away from his camera base, then set them off using car batteries and a lot of wire. Fantastic effort and images.
other than the 3 on the opening page....
I assume you used film on the older shots, but do you still use
film or have you went digital? Do you remember what lake in NC
was in the picture titled Swamp Reflections, NC? Since I have
fished on most of the larger lakes in NC, I was just curious..
I do a lot of driveby shootings (no, not with bullets).
That image was obtained somewhere around Albemarle Sound, south of the Virginia Beach area.
.......…Incidentally, you are a better shot than I am.Great work.

... but I just creamed you in the Shameless Self-Promotion department!Excellent photos.
Jeff TOJI like it. I like it a lot.
You're primarily a geometrist, based on your interest in structural intersection.
Also a good eye for color.
The image of the girl against the wall is outstanding.
I enjoyed all your galleries. As stated, well composed. And to my eye, and please don't take this as an insult, well processed. First there's the photographer's eye, no doubting the insight here, then what comes out of the camera. What happens after that is another art altogether.Cheers!

These are film shots. Please read some of my website verbage.The color is as vivid as Fuji Provia provides, and no more. Which is colorful indeed. I've been using this film for years because of its high color saturation and contrast.
But in most images shown, the Fuji slide film printed on Ilfochrome materials is more vivid than these website scans show. There is no digital manipulation here other than what is needed to make them look as close to the slides as possible. Not an exact representation, but close.
FR,My comments weren't assuming the photos were digital. There's a lot that can go on in the darkroom. If you went through those efforts, or if they were straight out of the camera, no real difference to me. They stand as excellent as they are presented.
Me personally, I'm shooting only digital, but it's like the difference between CD and vinyl. You have to hear decent vinyl to appreciate it. Your film is great.
Jeff TOJ
Digital's great. People always think I'm shooting digits anyway, so maybe transitioning sooner would be better. The medium and processes are good enough to not lose anything by my standards, but I'm a dinosaur. It'll happen by attrition soon enough.Thank you again and happy shooting!
Hold out though, as long as you can. I love the look of film. Like vinyl, I can't describe why it's better than digital, but I can tell that it is, so it is to me.My standard line with digital is, shoot a million, keep the best 2 or 3. Film requires much more discipline, thus much better inherent talent, better eye, etc. Thanks for sharing, and keep adding!

I will browse it more thoroughly when I get a few moments. Thanks

The one which whets my appetite is the one simply labeled Port Townshend, Waterford, WA. It looks like an abandoned building which peaks my interest.
Very nice, Don! When I'm looking for some prints to hang on the walls I'll keep you in mind, and then we can discuss the "family discount" :-)
Best regards,

I was stationed on Adak '73-'74 & took a bunch of photos while I was up there. Just above me to the left is one of Sitkin letting off some steam. I didn't take it; my roomate did, but like everybody there, we all saw it.
Been there a few times. I'm sitting here drinking coffee out of a mug I bought at the base exchange. I'm afraid I'll drop it and break it. There ain't gonna be no replacements.
About the only thing I have, other than the photos, is an Adak Credit Union card or something like that. I was looking through my collection of business cards & similar stuff last week & saw it.One of the interesting things that happened was a crab boat came in w/some engine trouble & had to unload its cargo. Since I had temp. galley duty at the time as a driver, I was dispatched to go get the load of fresh Alaskan King Crab & bring it back to the mess hall. I stopped at a warehouse first & loaded 2 huge boxes, say about 8' x 10' x 5' tall.
When I got next to the boat, the crew tossed the crabs right in the boxes. I had a full load & when I got to mess hall, all my "buddies" were waiting there w/garbage bags, etc., to go cook up their own batch. The base was treated to A.K.C. that night, at least until they ran out.
I have a little time.
