Even if you're not looking for a photographer please feel free to return to my site to view the cute doggy pictures I make of my babies. When I started this site it was for the main purpose of getting business with my photography. It has now turned into an adventure. I'm not only adding really great snapshots but also some that weren't so great because I was young and 110 film left a lot to be desired. I literally have hundreds of pictures to add and MySpace is a great place to share them. My degree is in photography and I used to dabble in all kinds. Color, black and white, infra red. I especially loved old buildings and tombstones. Right now I'm dealing with a suitcase full of pictures and several albums I haven't picked any out of yet. Not to mention all of the slides. Anybody out there remember slides? Does MySpace have a storage limit? I guess if it does then one day a message will pop up that says "delete some of your life." During the late 1970's and early 1980's I took a lot of pictures of Sugarcreek. I went to every concert I could. Some were at the Corporation in Clemson, SC and some were at the Pavillion at Myrtle Beach, SC. If I try really hard I can still hear their music in my head. The album I have of my dog Brownie has been my toughest one to face. He was a mean little dog that none of us knew how to handle. I wanted the calm puppy when we went to pick him out but mama wanted him because he was "feisty." The only time he was good was laying in the swing or in my lap. Two weeks before my wedding in 1981 I had been refinishing some old furniture (another hobby) and went to take him back to his lot and he turned on me. I was in the hospital 4 days and still have no feeling in parts of my right arm. He was a beautiful dog but after that I couldn't keep him. I did learn how to train a dog between the time I had brownie and 10 years later when my fear of dogs went away. I'm not afraid of any dog anymore. Over the years I've had the pleasure of cats. I've owned a lot of cats as you can see. Don't have any right now but if any strays show up I'll feed them. Right now I'm not looking for a relationship. I'm happy with my dogs and my computer and in trying to catch up on my life. If I do somehow meet someone special from around here (meaning NOT 2000 miles away) they need to be warned I'm a hermit who stays up all night talking to dogs and watching TV. I'm also lazy. Not at work-just at home. My daughter's daddy was warned by by mama about this eternal condition but he didn't listen and married me anyway. Right now my goals include getting enough income so I can quit reusing tea bags 4 times before throwing them away. I'm looking to start a business or get back into photography. Hopefully all of those widowed men working on bridges in West Africa who want to send me money won't find me. It's funny what you attract on MySpace when you check the "relationship" box. I only want friends who can help me in the photography part because I do some really good work. I LOVE fishing, walking thru the woods with my camera, photography in general, geneaology, photographing tombstones(yes, really), cross-stitching and am happier away from large crowds. I'm doing better with the crowd part as long as I have my camera. Consider it a security blanket if you want. On the wackier side I collect trolls and Scooby-Doo.
