4. Jarhead Time (1979 to 1983)

These were taken while I was in the Marines in 1979 and 1983. Most of these are from 1979 and 1980. There will be a additon to this gallery in the near future with many more images from Okinawa and LeJeune... These were taken with my first camera I ever had, a Canon AT-1.

I was just learning photography at the time... I kept every negative for all these years and now that I bought a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000ED I can archive these.

If anyone knows somebody who was around back then, point them to this gallery. I have mega-large files of each of these if you find yourself and want a large print. Just ask! SEMPER FI!

Please feel free to leave comments on any photo!

6. American Safari 1999 (Summer 1999)

During the summer of 1999, an English writer, Joe Patch, and I, an American photographer, drove over 15,000 miles along with Louis Baker, Joes son and an Australian boxer. Together in a Jeep Wrangler, we traveled the country in search of people and places that would make our trip into what we had hoped, a safari into American culture. During these three months on the road, we met people from all walks of life and a vast number of cultures. We hope these images and words will express what we found, our diversity as a nation and the kindness and sense of community that was predominate. Our positive experience offers up the opposite to the negative picture of American society painted by our countries news media.

All images were captured using Kodak and Fuji color reversal film.

Our sincere thanks to all who helped us along the way. Your kindness and hospitality was most appreciated.

Many thanks to Watt, Raul and Pete for the friendly welcome they gave my buddy Dave and me...

17. The Laphroaig Photo Project (ONGOING PROJECT)

These are photos of one unopened bottle of Laphroaig 10 Year Old Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky. The project will be on going and attempt to capture photographs of this particular bottle at historic events, famous places as well as tagging along with me during my daily routine. In addition, I will work to get this bottle photographed with well known, and not so well known, people such as celebrities, politicians, actors, police, firefighters, blue and white collar workers and photo manipulations...

The Project began March 18, 2006 and shall continue for quite some time. There are numerous influences that gave rise to this idea, but one project stands above the rest; "The Red Couch - A Portrait of America". In addition, a Bottle of Laphroaig is much easier to haul around than a couch and if for some reason I get tired of doing this, I can just stop where I am and open the bottle... End of project.

The Laphroaig Photo Project will continually evolve and re-define itself as photographs are taken and people and places influence the direction of the project.

DISCLAIMER: This project is not affiliated in any way whatsoever with the Laphroaig distillery. The individuals and businesses and in these and future images do not in any way infer an endorsement of any product. In addition, these images are not meant to imply any advocacy for or against the consumption of alcohol.

Please Drink Responsibly and if you're planning on not drinking responsibly, don't drive. It's a no brainer...

THIS IMAGE EVENT GALLERY IS A TEMPORARY HOME FOR THE LAPHROAIG PHOTO PROJECT. A DEDICATED DOMAIN IS CURRENTLY IN THE WORKS. THE URL WILL BE POSTED HERE WHEN UP AND RUNNING.

18. Heart Attack 2006 (12-21-06)

This is my heart Attack Gallery. Not much to say other than late in the evening on the 21st of December 2006, my chest and teeth hurt.

Thinking the worst but not wanting to over-react, we (spouse and I) called my brother-in-law Jim, head of a regional ambulance company, and told him what I felt.

He said go to the hospital. Better safe than sorry.

I was bummed to be admitted and poked and prodded in the ER. Yes, I had had a heart attack.

These are the photos beginning the next morning in the Intensive Care Unit. I was very disappointed that I forgot to bring a camera when I went to the ER the night before.

Anyway, the camera was my wife’s crappy Casio 7mb job and it had little if any control that could be assigned to the user. I have a Canon 20D digital SLR but I am sure that the hospital would have shut me down had I use that. The Casio looked like an amateur snapper. I did the best I could. Enjoy the images... Or at least get a laugh!

I would like to say that the doctors and especially the nurses, male and female, were smiling and nice and kind and made me feel good. The Hospital of Central Connecticut was top notch.

19. Rowland Campaign

I shot these while I had some excellent access to the Governor during his second re-election campaign.

He is now in the news for major corruption and other scandals. I am very angry at him. He is a liar and a cheat.

I like my photos though...
