In 1977-78 I was in ninth grade, and I took my first photography class that year. Here is a window reflection self-portrait shot made during my photo class. We actually were allowed to leave the building and walk around, taking photos on that day! This was shot using the window in what we called The Foyer, at my junior high school.

Sorry for the low-res scan...not sure where it is in high-rez.

And here is a better selfie I made....same sweater, same glasses, and a huge-collared shirt and a Hart, Shaffer,and Marx blazer worn over the sweater and shirt combo! I'm not sure why this was framed so,so low. Check out the size of the collar on that shirt! Enough lift for a 727!

Oh. 1977-78 I was in my eleventh grade. I was then just occasional snap shooter. I got my photo schooling a year later, but not in any school program (there wasn't any) but from a pro from near by (school) museum. Lol, in that years, despite the distance, we all looked the same.

Hired a mechanic to fix my car, caught a hold of a spark plug wire. He's moving on.

2010 - Mabry Mill at Meadows of Dan, VA off the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Backstory:
We had been on the trails since early in the morning. On the way back the sun was setting and giving off wonderful light. I knew the mill was coming up and likely to be crowded with visitors. Set up the gear on a grassy knoll and waited... and waited... and waited. Fortunately we had a nice local chardonnay in the cooler, crackers and local sharp cheese plus a bag of grapes. Waiting wasn't a problem because both of us were dog-tired and the little snack was certainly a pleasure. After about 30 minutes there was a break in the action. I had already setup the camera to take 5 shots, 2 under, 1 at and 2 over exposed. The 16x20 print looks awesome on the wall.

Another view from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The Via Duct. An engineering marvel in roadway design.

When I saw these prints, I thought, "Oh cool, they look like postcards!" A few minutes later, they already bored me and I realized I didn't want to take pictures that looked like post cards.
