PIcture taken of me (with my camera) standing on the bank of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon.  I think this was the Hermit Trail.

"Ghost" photo

Actually, I had a roll of film that somehow rewound and took pictures again over the same undeveloped film.  The result is a series of "ghost" images.  The fun thing is that the overlapping pictures are from Ohio and Virginia. Ooooooooooo!

there is always hope

I've included this blurry picture because it is the only picture of Penny as a 1.5 pound preemie.  One doesn't really think of photo ops with a baby this sick.  Now she is a grown-up wife and mother of 4 beautiful children.

OK, well I didn't take this picture, obviously, because I am in it.  Had to put it in because of my great hair.  Only 1 of 2 times it looked good in my life.  This was 1981.
