I AM PERMANENTLY DISABLED, SINCE 1990, I WAS MEDICALLY RETIRED BECAUSE OF POST POLIO SYNDROME. I AM A SELF TAUGHT PHOTOGRAPHER, RETIRED MECHANIC, SPORT FISHERMAN, TARGET SHOOTER, SKEET SHOOTER, EX TRUCK DRIVER, EX PHOTO LAB TECHNICIAN, I’VE GONE THROUGH 35 SURGERIES, I HAVE TWO ARTIFICIAL KNEES, I LOVE WOLVES, HENCE THE E-MAIL ADDRESS, MY SCREEN NAME IS DERIVED FROM THE THREE WOLF HYBRIDS THAT I RAISED, SMOKEY, DEOGEE OR DOG AND SOCKS. THEY HAVE ALL PASSED NOW AND I AM A LITTLE SADDER BECAUSE OF THAT. I LOVED MY HYBRIDS. I TAKE PHOTOS OF ALL TYPES OF THINGS, THEN WITH THE AID OF THE COMPUTER, I EITHER ENHANCE THE PHOTO, OR DO A TOTAL TURNAROUND AND MAKE SOME TYPE OF DIGITAL ARTWORK OUT OF IT. USUALLY SOMETHING TOTALLY ABSTRACT TO THE POINT OF NOT RECOGNIZING THE END PRODUCT FROM THE ORIGINAL PHOTO. I WISH I HAD ACCESS TO A COMPUTER BACK IN THE 1980’S. I HAVE A TON OF PHOTOS THAT I STILL HAVE TO SCAN INTO MY COMPUTER. I AM DISCOVERING THAT I REALLY LIKE DIGITAL ABSTRACT ART, SO I HAVE BEEN PLAYING IN THE DIGITAL DARKROOM MORE AND MORE. I REALIZE THAT NOT ALL PHOTOS WILL WORK IN THE DARKROOM, BUT IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT IMAGE AND YOU GET LUCKY ENOUGH TO USE THE RIGHT FILTERS AND CHANGES, IT IS AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN COME UP WITH.
