OCTOBER 4, 2009 UPDATE!!! HEY THERE MYSPACE. I JUST UPDATED MY PROFILE. I'VE FINALLY UPLOADED MY PORTFOLIO IN AN ALBUM AND I'VE ALSO ADDED SOME OF THEM TO MY PROFILE. COME CHECK THEM OUT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. LEAVE ME SOME PHOTO COMMENTS. I'VE ALSO ADDED A LOT OF TRAVEL PHOTO ALBUMS WHEN TONS OF PHOTOS IN THEM. YOU HAVE TO COME CHECK THEM OUT. SAN ANTONIO IS GREAT AND I NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT DRIVING IN THE SNOW AGAIN!!! NOW THAT I'M RETIRED FROM THE ARMY, I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TIME FOR MY PHOTOGRAPHY. THAT IS A GREAT FEELING. I'VE RECENTLY STARTED MY FIRST JOB AFTER RETIRING FROM THE ARMY AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING LIFE AS A CIVILIAN. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NETWORKING WITH PHOTOGRAPHERS AND FANS OF PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE SAN ANTONIO AREA. I'M ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING NEW PEOPLE AND EXPERIENCING SO MANY THINKS THAT I'VE HAD TO PUT ON HOLD FOR THE LAST 21 YEARS. STOP BY ANYTIME AND SAY HELLO. HELLO EVERYONE. MY NAME IS KEVIN AND I'M RETIRED ARMY. I SERVED OVER 21 YEARS. HERE IS LIST OF MY DUTY STATIONS: US ARMY 1987-2009: DEC 1987-MARCH 1988 BASIC TRAINING AT FORT DIX, NEW JERSEY MARCH 1988-JUNE 1988 AIT AT FORT BELVOIR, VA JUNE 1988-JULY 1992 AT BAMBERG, GERMANY DEC 1990-MAY 1991 DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM JULY 1992-AUGUST 1996 AT FORT RILEY, KANSAS AUGUST 1996-JULY 1998 BACK IN BAMBERG, GERMANY OCTOBER 1996-APRIL 1997 DEPLOYED TO TAZAR, HUNGRARY AUGUST 1998-JULY 2001 AT FORT BLISS, TEXAS FEB 1999-AUGUST 1999 DEPLOYED TO SAUDI ARABIA AUGUST 2001-JULY 2003 AT ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, MARYLAND AUGUST 2003-JULY 2006 AT FORT LEWIS, WASHINGTON SEPTEMBER 2004-SEPTEMBER 2005 DEPLOYED TO IRAQ JULY 2006-APRIL 2009 AT VILSECK, GERMANY AUGUST 1ST, 2009-RETIRED!!! HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME. I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA. I LOVE MY BIRTHPLACE BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE FEW AMERICAN CITIES THAT HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE CULTURE. FOR ANY OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN THERE, I'M SURE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. THE PEOPLE, THE FOOD, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST UNIQUE TO THAT CITY. AND I'M SURE I DON'T HAVE TO MENTION JUST HOW UNIQUE MARDI GRAS IS!!! I'M MARRIED TO A WONDERFUL, MIDWESTERN(NEBRASKA) WOMAN WHO I MET WHILE I WAS STATIONED AT FORT RILEY, KANSAS, BACK IN 1995. SHE KEEPS ME SANE IN THIS CRAZY MILITARY WORLD WE STILL LIVE IN POST 9/11, AND WE WILL GROW VERY OLD TOGETHER. THE THING I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY WIFE IS HER GOOD HEART, AND SHE IS AT HER CORE A NICE PERSON. IT'S HARD TO FIND THAT IN A WOMAN UNDER AGE 50 TODAY. I JOINED THE ARMY AT THE AGE OF 18 AND I'VE BEEN IN EVERY SINCE. I'VE SERVED IN 2 WARS AND BEEN STATIONED ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD, INCLUDING PLACES LIKE IRAQ, SAUDIA ARABIA, KUWAIT, GERMANY, HUNGRAY, KANSAS, MARYLAND, TEXAS, NEW JERSEY, VIRGINIA, AND WASHINGTON STATE. I'M A PROUD AMERICAN AND I'M PROUD OF MY 21+ YEARS OF MILITARY SERVICE. AS I'M NOT THE AVERAGE MYSPACE USER'S AGE, I'M PRIMARILY USING MYSPACE TO SHOWCASE AND SHARE MY PHOTOGRAPHY WORK WITH OTHERS AND TO SPEAK AND CHAT WITH LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE WHO SHARE THE SAME INTEREST(S). CHECK OUT MY PHOTO BLOGS AND PHOTO ALBUMS TO SEE MY WORK. I WELCOME ALL COMMENTS ON MY WORK. I'LL TRY TO UPDATE MY PROFILE THEME AND PHOTOS AS OFTEN AS I CAN. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE PHOTOS, JUST HOLLA AT ME AND I'LL RESPOND TO THEM. ALL PHOTOS FEATURED ON MY PROFILE ARE MY ORIGINAL WORK. PLEASE RESPECT THAT. PHOTOGRAPHY HAS BEEN A SERIOUS HOBBY OF MINE SINCE 1991. WHILE I WAS SERVING IN DESERT STORM IN SAUDI ARABIA AND IRAQ, I WANTED A WAY OTHER THAN LETTERS TO DOCUMENT ALL THAT I WAS SEEING AND EXPERIENCING OVER THERE. SO I BOUGHT A CHEAP, POINT-AND-SHOOT, 35MM CAMERA AND STARTED TAKING PICTURES OF EVERYTHING. AND I'VE BEEN HOOKED EVERY SINCE. BEING IN THE ARMY HAS GIVEN ME A GREAT VEHICLE FOR MY PHOTOGRAPHY BECAUSE OF ALL THE PLACES AND SITUATIONS I FIND MYSELF IN AS A SOLDIER. SO I WANT TO SHARE THOSE EXPERIENCES WITH ALL OF YOU WHO ARE INTERESTED AND OF COURSE I WELCOME YOUR FEEDBACK AND INTERACTION. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE OTHERS' WORK AS WELL. I LOVE TAKING PICTURES AT EVENTS AND URBAN SETTINGS, AS WELL AS LANDSCAPES, AND TRAVEL. I ALWAYS CARRY A COMPACT DIGITAL CAMERA WITH ME. YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE AND WHEN YOU MAY SEE SOMETHING THAT IS PICTURE WORTHY!!! NUMEROUS INTERESTS OTHER THAN PHOTOGRAPHY. FIRST AND FOREMOST, I LOVE MEETING, INTERACTING, AND NETWORKING WITH PEOPLE OF ALL TYPES AND CREEDS. I'M A VERY OPEN-MINDED MAN AND LOVE THE FEELING OF BEING EXPOSED TO NEW IDEAS AND THE PEOPLE THAT COME UP WITH THEM. SO IF YOU GENERALLY HAVE SOMETHING GREAT OR INTERESTING TO SAY OR SHARE, THEN STOP BY AND HOLLA AT ME. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. I DO A LOT OF TRAVELING. THIS IS ALSO A PASSION OF MINE. AND AGAIN, BEING IN THE MILITARY HAS GIVEN ME THE CHANCE TO TRAVEL TO PLACES THAT OTHERS JUST DREAM ABOUT OR DON'T GET TO GO UNTIL THEIR HONEYMOONS. TRAVELING THE WORLD HAS REALLY OPENED MY EYES AND MIND TO THE FACT THAT ALTHOUGH I LIVE IN THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON THE PLANET(USA), IT'S STILL ONLY ONE COUNTRY THAT MAKES UP OUR PLANET OF PEOPLE. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE OUT THERE AND YOU WOULD BE A FOOL NOT TO WANT TO EXPERIENCE IT. HOME WILL ALWAYS BE THERE, BUT A CHANCE TO TRAVEL AND SEE THINGS THAT WILL AMAZE YOU IS A CHANCE NO SANE MAN OR WOMAN SHOULD LET PASS. THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT MY PROFILE AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY WHAT YOU SEE AND READ. I KNOW I CAN BE A BIT LONG WINDED, BUT AT LEAST I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM ALL OF YOU!!!
