Journal Entry: Sun Nov 22, 2009, 1:28 AM
Hi Everyone!
Well, we're back off the road.... for a week now! I'm finally getting around to a new journal. Sorry, but I've been extremely busy with work. I know, it's that terrible 4 letter word, but I gots to! :nod:

We're now beginning to enter into the throws of the Christmas Season! :w00t: I tend to get a little moribund this time of year. Yes, =LadyAliceofOz climbs my back about it. :nod: I guess it's because I have so many memories of Christmases past. Good ones, tough ones, tough ones that were good ones. :giggle: Now, we're having to adjust and do different stuff. Our daughter will be in North Carolina, my folks are only about 5 blocks away, but they don't do anything anymore for Christmas. May the God's love her, (I do!) my eldest sister is in town, but she always tries to make things a bit overblown, and sometimes difficult. :no: So, =LadyAliceofOz and I will be doing other types of mischief this year. :evillaugh: So we'll just see what we end up doing for fun!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Other irrelivant junk!
Like I said, we're off the road now, and my Deviations got really piled up! It's still over 3400!
I have over 600 in my activity messages. Folks, I'm afraid I'm just going to have to do a dump. Sorry, but that's the way it is. I'll never get through the 3400+ I did go in and :+fav: a bunch of your stuff though. So please forgive me. :nod:

I still have images from the beach to go through. Most all of them are on =LadyAliceofOz's computer. I'll be sucking them off onto an external HD and moving them down here to my place pretty soon. :nod:
~~~~~~~~~~~
This journal's features
In this journal you're going to get a Triple Play! :#1: The first one will be of those folks I watch, no, not all of you! :giggle: But a goodly little number though. :nod:

The second feature are of some of the folks who came by and left a :+fav: or two. This is a pretty random thing.

The last will be another installment of In Case You Missed It! which if you remember are some images of my own that some of you may have missed, or were wise enough to ignore altogether! :rofl:

~~~~~~~~~~~
I'd like to take a moment to mention that our good friend :iconeskimoblueboy:, who we saw in person at the last show, in a matter of about 14 days or so lost both his mother and his father. He was in good spirits when we saw him, but that was prior to his mother passing. Being the eldest now in his family, it's a big responsibility. Please go by his page and show him a bit of DA Love. He's got a lot on his plate right now, but he'll be back and he will appreciate your comments, and :hug:'s

~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, I'd like to thank each and every person who came by my page and honored me with your view, and for any :+fav:'s that you have left.


:iconrudeboyskunkplz::iconrudeboyskunkplz2::iconrudeboyskunkplz3:


Enjoy the features!

Those I watch!
























Thanks for the :+fav:!























In Case You Missed It!







As I've mentioned before, Moon shots are a bit difficult to shoot in the suburbs. There's just too much ambient light. I really liked how the crater at the top of the moon showed up on this particular shot...




This is a shot from a sunset where it seemed we had about 6 different sunsets involved. We hung around well after the sun actually set, and were rewarded for our efforts. Even if it was getting a little bit chilly.




I don't do many HDR images anymore, but I wanted to bring up the sand a bit more. This particular shot was done earlier in the evening than the one above. Although this is an HDR, it is more realistic of what the beach actually looked like. :nod:




This pretty little butterfly was flitting all over the place. Finally it sat down on the sand anjd i got several exposures of it. Believe it or not, it's hard to get a proper exposure when you are shooting against white sand. I had to do a bit of work to get it's colors to show properly.




I almost missed this one, I was a little late getting over to the beach...




This shot was after the one above. Often times I find I'll leave just when I should have stayed.... It's best to read the artists comments on this one. :giggle:




I've seen fishermen for years on this beach, and seen them catch the catfish that they end up throwing back. I think this is the first time I've seen anyone catch something different!




Because of the shallow waters at Mexico Beach, the Pelicans tend to stay out farther where they can fish. You see, they have this method that includes flying along looking for fish, then when they spot them, they dive head long inot the water to snatch their meal. This works fine unless the bird is in like a foot or so of water. Then it becomes a pain in the neck! pardon the pun This particular day, these Pelicans were evading a storm so they were flying right over the beach.




Just for laughs!



Two old people, a man and a woman, walk into a hospital. The doctor says to the old man, "I'll need a urine sample, a feces sample, and a blood sample." The old man says, "What?" So the doctor says it again. Once again the old man says, "what?" So the doctor yells it, "I NEED A URINE SAMPLE, A FECES SAMPLE, AND A BLOOD SAMPLE!" With that the old woman turns to the old man and says, "He needs a pair of your underwear!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~
One evening this drunk walks into a bar, sits down, and happens to notice a 12" tall man standing on the bar. Astonished, the man asks the guy next to him; "What the hell is that?" The guy next to him replies "He's a pianist!", to which the drunk replied "Horse shit, your pulling my leg" So the guy next to him picks up the 12" man , grabs some books, and props the little man up to the piano. Sure enough, this little man started hammerin out all the favorite tunes of the bars' patrons. Stunned, the drunk asks "That little guy is cool, where the hell did you get him"? The fella told the drunk how he had found a genie bottle out in the alley, rubbed it til a genie appeared, and was granted one wish. All of a sudden the drunk hauls ass out the back door, finds the bottle, and starts rubbing it: when all of a sudden a genie pops out and grants him one wish. In a slur, the drunk asks "I wish for a million bucks". All of a sudden, the sky turns black and overhead a million ducks come flying overhead shittin all over him. Angrily, the drunk runs back inside, slams the door and begins cursing "You son of a bitch, I found that genie bottle and wished for a million bucks and all of a sudden there are a million ducks shitting all over my new suit." The fella started laughing and wildly exclaimed "You don't really think I wished for a 12" pianist do you?"
:O_o:

~~~~~~~~~~~~
After thirty-five years of marriage, Bernie is lying on his deathbed and with a tear in his eye he says "Annabel before I die I have to tell you something". She replies "Yes, yes dear anything what is it?" He starts, "The first year we were together, I caught pneumonia and almost died. You sat by my bed and nursed me back to health." To which the wife nods her head and he continues, "When I lost half my family in the terrible car crash, it was you by my side who kept me going. When our kids grew up and ran away from home, you sat with me and comforted me! And when I lost everything last year in the fire at the store, you were right by my side the whole time. Annabel You've been through everything with me." Bernie says, "So before I die I just want you to know you're a freaking jinx!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~
A wife went in to see a therapist and said, "I've got a big problem doctor. Every time we're in bed and my husband climaxes, he lets out this earsplitting yell."

"My dear," the shrink said, "that's completely natural. I don't see what the problem is."

"The problem," she complained, "is that it wakes me up."

~~~~~~~~~~~~
A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin.

However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.

After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty! One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you."

"My darling," he replied, "think nothing of it. I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."




A Tiny Bit About Me...


Just in case anybody wants to know. I'm 53 years old. I have no illusions regarding photography as a career. I was a professional wedding and portrait shooter many many years ago. I was trained by a PPAA award winning Professional Photographer. I now shoot primarily for fun, and enjoy helping others as I can. To dispel any misunderstandings, I've never referred to myself as an "artist".
To me, that is a professional designation.
I am a shooter, that's what I am.

I am a professional craftsperson, and so is my wife. My wife and I have run our own business for the past 31 years, and we manage to keep our heads afloat. :nod: I also do not discuss what I do for a living on DA, as this is my pleasure, and I prefer not to mix my profession with my pleasure.

My wife is: =LadyAliceofOz:iconladyaliceofoz:
My daughter is *DreamingDragonDesign:icondreamingdragondesign:
She's doing some kickass artisan craft work there, check it out!
My son, (my daughter's husband) is ~FlipWardDragon :iconflipwarddragon:

A Note TO All!



Anyone who has :+fav:ed my works...
:iconrudeboyskunkplz::iconrudeboyskunkplz2::iconrudeboyskunkplz3:

By the way, if I'm watching you, and you're watching me, I probably won't thank you for any :+fav:'s. I'll spend more time going through your gallery, or viewing your deviations, and talking with you via comments because I'm not spending time thanking for :+fav:'s! :giggle:

I also do not participate in the "Link System". I have no opposition to others participating. I just personally don't have the time to do so. :no:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, this is a Politics, Religion, and Hate free zone. I have friends from all walks of life, all religious denominations, sects, you name it. In my journal features you're likely to find a Jew's deviation next to an Arabs, Black next to White and any combination in between.
One other note. I am a former Marine. It was an honor to serve my country.
I am proud of all service people around the world, who choose to serve their countries, past and present.
I have close friends who were Army Pathfinders, My Brother was Special Forces in Viet-Nam. My Mother was a WAVE (Navy WWII), My Father was also a Marine during WWII.
My son, (*DreamingDragonDesign's husband) was Army Airborne during Desert Storm.
A particular deviant here that I watch is former Air Force, another is in the Navy. A close young friend of mine just joined the Coast Guard.
I entered the service in 1974 when the Navy & Marines no longer accepted would be young felons,and trouble makers and the Army no longer accepted losers and conscripts. Since that time in military history the services have learned that we're all pulling on the same rope. There's no room on my page for badmouthing any branch of the service. I refuse to engage in berating any branch of the United States Armed forces. We all served under the same flag :flagus:. If anyone chooses to berate any service, they will be blocked from my page.

There's nothing we can really do about those who hate. So don't spread it around here please! :D

Features, Halloween Fun, & a Few Laughs

Journal Entry: Fri Oct 30, 2009, 10:42 AM
Hi Everyone!
Well, we're almost to Halloween. Merry Samhain to everyone out there! :nod:

I decided to do a little photomanip for Halloween this year, and I may even go out tonight at midnight and see what the sea holds in spooks and so forth, as the veil between worlds gets thinner, the closer we get to October 31st. at midnight :nod:

Check out his stock! Cool stuff!



We've been enjoying ourselves here on our Gulf Coast vacation. This journal, I'm including a feature called "In Case You Missed it!" These are shots that I've put up while on our trip. If your'e anything like me, your deviations are backed up. :nod: I am wading through them though, rather slowly, I'm afraid, but still getting them looked at, and many collected. You people are really awesome! :nod: I sincerely hope you're not getting too tired of the sunsets I've been posting. I'm thinking on trying a little night shooting as well to break up the monotony for you and stretch myself a little bit as well.

The second feature is a :+fav:'s feature, those folks who have slid by and :+fav:ed something of mine but they are not regular watchers. If you ever wonder why I do this, it's two fold. First, it's a little "thank you" for the :+fav:. Secondly, many of my watchers, already watch each other, this way you folks get to find someone new here on DA! :nod:

A very special note of thanks goes out to everyone who left :+fav:'s on my work! I really don't have the time to go out and thank each and everyone of you. Your support is emensely appreciated! I've always felt that a copy and pasted "thank you" was a bit "cheap" I'd rather take that time and work through my deviations.... :+fav: your work, and enjoy talking with you through comments. :nod:


And as always!

In Case You Missed It!






Sometimes raining at the beach, or anywhere for that matters, yields some of the most spectacular sunsets.
There's still lingering clouds in the evening skies for the sun to cast it's rays upon.




A while back, =LadyAliceofOz and =kayaksailor were discussing how nice it was for a Sea Gull to fly into a particular scene to give a bit more of a nature element. Truthfully, I waited on this one to catch one of the many gulls that were flying about, to get at the right area to show.




This may seem a bit weird to be in the "Street" category, but if you look at the description of "Street" it does fit. :nod: I'm very sorry, but I don't believe that "street" has to be the grittiest B&W shots of city life. (Which are quite compelling...) If that's what it has to be, then it should be called "Life Magazine". :rofl:
This couple was walking down the beach while I was shooting sunsets, they tried to step it up a little to get out of my way, but I figured they would, so I was prepared for them.




I have this facination for birds in flight. They are so graceful. :nod: Sea Gulls can be somewhat hard to shoot though. There's the issue of the autofocus not focusing fast enough, for one. Then "leading them" like you would for wing shooting while hunting. So you have to have your shutter speed correct, or you end up with motion blur and camera shake. Then there's the position of the bird in the frame, as well as his wing position. Last but not least, there's the angle of the sun. If I got up real early in the morning the sun would be low at my back, which would be good... but I don't do mornings.... :no:




This little guy was skittering along the water line going after Coquinas along with the Sandpipers.
I like to show the feathers on birds. To me, they are really one of Mother Natures marvels.




I really don't know exactly what Sea Gulls do at night. I did see them roost out on a little island when we were at Cedar Key earlier in the year, so I assume the mass exodus of the Sea Gulls, slightly earlier than this shot, signaled it was time for them to roost elsewhere. :nod:




Again, this is one of those departures for me... When I saw this scene on the beach, I thought of all the other people who over the years have sat on the sunny sand watching their kids chase in and out with the waves. Enjoying the warmth of the sun, and the sound of the surf. It occured to me that this scene could have been played out at any time, so I gave this one a 1960's box camera treatment.




As the title implies.... :giggle: Sunsets are not at a premium down here, they happen to some degree every night. Some more spectacular than others... none exactly alike.




This is one of the lesser spectacular sunsets, but the "blues" that it cast were so pleasant.:nod:




This was shot the same evening as the one above I believe. :nod: I liked the wisps of cloud in this shot. :nod:




When we went out on the beach this particular day, there were no Gulls! I have no idea as to why, there just weren't any. There were plenty of these little crabs around however. They aren't quite as easy to shoot as you would think. They apparently can feel the vibrations (footsteps) of oncoming danger in the sand. So it's best to just stand and survey the area, then once you spot one, don't take your eyes off it. Move slowly, and parallel to it getting a little closer as you go. It does help if you have a 300mm lens on your camera! :giggle:




This sunset featured "Gold". Apparently it has to do with the angle of the sun through the moisture and dust in the air.

Hope you enjoyed this edition of " IN CASE YOU MISSED IT" This week brought to you by the fine folks of A-1 Sewer Cleaning systems, where their motto is... "Your #2 is our #1..... priority that is."

Just For Laughs!


When CRS strikes
An elderly man goes into a brothel and tells the madam he would like a young girl for the night. Surprised, she looks at the ancient man and asks how old he is. "I'm 90 years old," he says. "90!" replies the woman. "Don't you realize you've had it?" "Oh, sorry," says the old man, "how much do I owe you?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A matter of time.... Military Time that is....

A young , attractive woman thought she might have some fun with a stiff-looking military man at a cocktail party, so she walked over and asked him, "Major, when was the last time you had sex?"

"1956," was his reply. "No wonder you look so uptight!" she exclaimed. "Major, you need to get out more!"

"I'm not sure I understand you," he answered, glancing at his watch, ..."It's only 2014 now."

Mistaken Identity
A guy calls the hospital. He says, "You gotta send help! My wife's going into labor!" The nurse says, "Calm down. Is this her first child?" He says, "No you idiot! This is her husband!"

Maybe this guy needs a second opinion...
"I can't find a cause for your illness," the doctor said. "Frankly, I think it's due to drinking." "In that case," replied his patient, "I'll come back when you are sober."

Long Journal, but maybe worth the read....

Journal Entry: Sat Oct 24, 2009, 9:50 AM
Special Note!


Folks, my deviations page is loaded up to 3406, my activity messages are at 363, so if you'll kindly excuse me, I'm hitting the dump button!
I very much appreciate the :+fav:'s and if you'll note me or leave a comment on my front page as to work you want me to see, I'd really appreciate it! :nod:




Hi Everyone!

Well, according to $Moonbeam13 October is Self Promotion Month. She's urging everyone to put up journals to promote themselves. You can check this out here. [link]

I'm really not very good at this type of thing here on Deviant Art. I guess my attitude is if you like what I do, then you'll :+fav: it, if not, you'll go on to the next thing. :nod: Also, I'm not a Teen or Twentysomething trying to get my foot into the world of photography. I've been there, done that, and went on to something else for a livliehood, so that's why, here on DA, I try to help other with their photography, and art. It's not that I'm not capable of pimping myself, I do it well enough in my work world to make a living. :giggle:

Anyways..... In trying to make an effort to "conform to the norm" here on DA, this journal will have two features, one a self promotion feature of my stuff, and one of those who have recently added me to their :+devwatch:. There's a set of questions that Danie ($Moonbeam13) has asked to be included into the journal, so they will appear there, in the feature. :nod:

Other "Goings on"...
WOW! This morning we received a package here at the campground of some absolutely stunningly gorgeous Avacados from the lovely =sametimenxtyr! I wish we could grow them where we live... but alas we cannot. THANK YOU KONI! :hug: :tighthug:

As many of you know, we're on the road on business right now. This means that I have to pry =LadyAliceofOz off the laptop to get time enough to do a little bit of my own DA time. So I apologize for not seeing all your deviations you've been putting up. :nod: If you want a detailed "Blow By Blow" account of this particualr trip, you can get that on :iconladyaliceofoz:'s current journal. [link] The only thing she failed to mention I think, is that there is still a funny little "miss" in the engine. The motorhome had a full tuneup before we left. This miss sounds like possibly one of the idle control sensors or possibly one of the fuel injectors misbehaving intermitantly... Other than that, I have been able to get some good work done on the interior and exterior of this rig. :w00t:! Although "interior design" is not my specialty, I've been planning out changes that we're going to make to the motorhome. The unit itself is 29 feet long and 8' 6" wide, and has a ton of wasted space......


Sorry this journal is so unbearably long.....


And as always!
:iconrudeboyskunkplz::iconrudeboyskunkplz2::iconrudeboyskunkplz3:


Self Promotion Feature!



Okies! So here's the "self promotion feature". I'll start with the questions;

1. Who are you?
Male, 170 lbs, 5'9" tall, Ash Blond hair. I'm a fiscal conservative, and a social moderate, which makes me a Republicrat.... or anarchist, one or the other. :giggle:

2. What is your artistic passion?
Actually, I appreciate all art, although I'm not much into Anime... Personally it's not hard to guess I'm into photography. I do "display photography" for my business, but nature is my passion. My second passion is writing, I have a book finished and someday will look for a publisher for it.(once I figure out how to go about that!)

3. Why did you get into art?
Evolution. I was born into it. My father was a professional Wedding/Portrait photographer, my mother did oils for the business, as well as retouching the negatives and prints. My eldest sister is a traditional artist (oil painting)

4. How do you inspire yourself.
I'm capable of motivating myself, but when it comes to art, Nature inspires me. The beauty of nature when you look at the symmetry, and brilliance of a flower, the dramatic contrast in a sunset with the the myriad of colors that the sun creates as it filters it's light through the atmosphere. Animals with their different skin textures, and furs. I'm more into capturing what my eye sees, rather than "creating" any illusions. Just my personal preferences.... :nod:

5. Where would you like to see yourself in 5 years.
This is one of those "Twentysomething" type of questions..... :rofl: First I suppose I'd like to be seeing myself at 58 years old! (In other words still alive!) :rofl: Since I have a business, I'd like to see the economy improve so that it would be doing a bit better. I would like to see the aforementioned book published, and making a bit of money off of it. Now, if we could change the question a bit and make it say 10 years from now.... I'd like to be traveling with =LadyAliceofOz in our new motorhome, writing, and shooting photos with a new Nikon D20,000. ( :giggle:) Putting up journals and photos on DA, and maybe being able to visit in person some more of my friends here on DA.

So here's the feature part! :nod: I've included some comments of my own regarding these particular shots.... Oftentimes people don't realize the complexity of capturing what the eye sees. Many times, you can take a shot that is less than perfect, and squirell it around with the color and create a piece of "art". It's far more important to me to convey to the viewer the beauty in the reality of the shot.



This shot I took last evening, at Mexico Beach, Florida, where we are right now. The conditions were dreadful, it was misting rain when we started fro the beach... I really don't like getting equipment wet, or even damp. Nature provided a reward, though it took many exposures to get this one the way I wanted it. :nod: In this particular shot I was trying to get the sunlight playing off the wet sand, the breaking waves, obviously the sun, as well as the various levels of cloud cover. Just for information sake, the little dark spots are birds. The overall "soft focus" is intentional, I wanted to convey a more serine feeling of hope, rather than the ominous feeling of stormy seas.



Again, here I'm trying to depict a serene easy evening sitting by the lake, watching the sun go down. I wanted to give the shot a bit of depth with the vegetation in the foreground. I intentionally shot this at a bend in the lake to give the viewer a bit of the "What's around the bend" thought.



This rose photo was a fit of inspiration to me. If you read the artists comments, you'll note I shot this at night with an LED light for illumination. I wanted to light a subject from behind, so as to make it appear as if it were glowing. Light and what it does tends to facinate me. Light is a bit different when you bounce it off a subject, from when you shoot it through the subject.



I seldom get a chance to shoot totally still water like this, so I was really pleased with this shot. Autumn seems to pass too quickly for me. Probably because this time of year I'm on the road so much. Again, here's nature creating the beautiful colors of fall.



I think this is my most :+fav:ed deviation. We were at a campground in Pell City, AL. That morning I was up early, and answering my messages on DA, when =LadyAliceofOz crawled out of bed and came up, looked out the window and noted the foggy sunrise. I grabbed my camera and tripod, then zoomed up and down the bank shooting the sunrise. I did have to do a bit of editing on this one to get rid of some annoying power lines on the far bank (which is an island) and some unsightly lens flares.



This shot is probably one of my best animal shots. I was extremely pleased with the texture and detail of the feathers. The scene is obviously "The Beach", with the waves in the background.

Since this feature is about self promotion, I'd like to remind you about the "Mr. & Mrs. Deviant Awards" which =LadyAliceofOz and I have been nominated for. If you have a chance, please go to: [link] and drop them a note if you wish to make this happen. I think it would be interesting for a couple to actually win this award. I normally refrain from asking my friends to go vote for Alice and myself for anything, (smacks of ballot box stuffing in a way...) but in this case it would really mean a lot to Alice if we were able to win this one. To me it would be nice if the "Mr. and Mrs." were actually married to each other as well... It was quite an honor for us to be even thought of. :nod:

So! There you have it! Now back to my normal type of journal! :rofl::rofl::rofl:



New Watchers Feature!



As many of you know, I prefer to feature my friends and watchers here on DA. I tend to use my journal as a method of thanking folks for :+fav:ing or for watching me, by featuring their art, instead of my own. These are works of some of the folks who recently added me to their :+devwatch:

Please enjoy and visit their galleries!














Thank you all for adding me to your :+devwatch: and for your support and :+fav:'s!



A Few Laughs!



There was this old woman who heard a song called "Two Lips and Seven Kisses." She called up information after hearing the song on the radio to get the name of the record company. In dialing, she erroneously called up a gas station, and she asks, "Do you have "Two Lips and Seven Kisses?"

The gas station attendant who answered the phone, was a bit of a smart ass, said,
"No, but I have two nuts and seven inches!"

So the woman asked, "Is that a record?"

To which the man replied, "No...... its average."

Bubba says to Lester, "You know, I reckon I'm about ready for a vacation, only this year I'm gonna do it a little different. The last few years, I took your advice as to where to go. Two years ago you said to go to Hawaii, I went to Hawaii, and Marie got pregnant. Then last year, you told me to go to the Bahamas, I went to the Bahamas, and Marie got pregnant again." Lester says, "So what you gonna do different this year?" Bob says, "This year, I'm takin' Marie with me..."

Three very macho mice are standing around trying to outdo each other. The first mouse says, "You know those little pellets they put out around the house trying to poison us? I love those things. I eat 'em like candy." The second mouse, not to be outdone says, "Oh yeah? Well, you know those mousetraps they put out to try to catch us? What I do is get on the trap, grab the cheese, and then flip over onto my back, and when the steel bar comes swinging down I grab it and do bench presses with it." The third mouse says, "You guys are really a couple of tough mice, and I'd love to keep hangin' out with you here, but I gotta go screw the cat."




A Tiny Bit About Me...


Just in case anybody wants to know. I'm 53 years old. I have no illusions regarding photography as a career. I was a professional wedding and portrait shooter many many years ago. I was trained by a PPAA award winning Professional Photographer. I now shoot primarily for fun, and enjoy helping others as I can. To dispel any misunderstandings, I've never referred to myself as an "artist".
To me, that is a professional designation.
I am a shooter, that's what I am.

I am a professional craftsperson, and so is my wife. My wife and I have run our own business for the past 31 years, and we manage to keep our heads afloat. :nod: I also do not discuss what I do for a living on DA, as this is my pleasure, and I prefer not to mix my profession with my pleasure.

My wife is: =LadyAliceofOz:iconladyaliceofoz:
My daughter is *DreamingDragonDesign:icondreamingdragondesign:
She's doing some kickass artisan craft work there, check it out!
My son, (my daughter's husband) is ~FlipWardDragon :iconflipwarddragon:

A Note TO All!



Anyone who has :+fav:ed my works...
:iconrudeboyskunkplz::iconrudeboyskunkplz2::iconrudeboyskunkplz3:

By the way, if I'm watching you, and you're watching me, I probably won't thank you for any :+fav:'s. I'll spend more time going through your gallery, or viewing your deviations, and talking with you via comments because I'm not spending time thanking for :+fav:'s! :giggle:

I also do not participate in the "Link System". I have no opposition to others participating. I just personally don't have the time to do so. :no:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, this is a Politics, Religion, and Hate free zone. I have friends from all walks of life, all religious denominations, sects, you name it. In my journal features you're likely to find a Jew's deviation next to an Arabs, Black next to White and any combination in between.
One other note. I am a former Marine. It was an honor to serve my country.
I am proud of all service people around the world, who choose to serve their countries, past and present.
I have close friends who were Army Pathfinders, My Brother was Special Forces in Viet-Nam. My Mother was a WAVE (Navy WWII). My son, (*DreamingDragonDesign's husband) was Army Airborne during Desert Storm.
A particular deviant here that I watch is former Air Force.
I entered the service in 1974 when the Navy & Marines no longer accepted would be young felons,and trouble makers and the Army no longer accepted losers and conscripts. Since that time in military history the services have learned that we're all pulling on the same rope. There's no room on my page for badmouthing any branch of the service. I refuse to engage in berating any branch of the United States Armed forces. We all served under the same flag :flagus:. If anyone chooses to berate any service, they will be blocked from my page.

There's nothing we can really do about those who hate. So don't spread it around here please! :D

Goings on... and Didjeridoos! + EDIT

Journal Entry: Fri Oct 23, 2009, 6:25 PM
Special Edit!



Hi Everyone!
Well I put up a deviation today... finally! :phew: My Deviations and Message center is totally filled up and tomorrow I'll be putting up a new journal. If you want to know what's gone on so far check out =LadyAliceofOz's journal here: [link]

The only thing she didn't bother to mention is the laptop playing silly little games on her, but I think I have that issue under control by changing a few of the mysterious hidden little settings in Vista. :nod: Someday soon I hope to be able to mount a full blown desktop computer in the motorhome just for photoediting purposes. :nod: That way I'll get to use a comp more often when we're on the road. :evillaugh:

That's all for this evening.... :nod: I'll be putting up a new journal sometime tomorrow.







Hi Everyone!
I really don't know how you folks on laptops do it! :no: Since we're on the road I'm having to post this journal on Alice's lappy. I guess blind old guys like me get babied to their desktop computers. :giggle:

Well, we've been on the road for a bit more than a week now, and haven't had a lot of time for the internet. Our show is doing well despite being rained out about every other day, here in Shreveport, LA. We're on the internet via a "community hotspot" which is free but not the fastest... not the slowest either though.

I really couldn't help it, today I bought a Didjeridoo. I'm one of those musically inept people, but I just loved the art in the creation of it. These folks were set up behind us, be sure to read the artists comments.





The Green one sorta in the middle to the right is ours now! :w00t:

Other goings on
As is usual, it seemed everything was going wrong before we left home and one of the biggest things was me not getting enough work done. So, when we get done here tomorrow night, we will be driving back to K.C. and be home 2 days to get more product completed, then we'll head out on Wednesday, for a show in Niceville, FL. I'm mentioning this, because =LadyAliceofOz and I will be missing in action for another week or so. After that comes a blessed vacation! :#1:

This evening =LadyAliceofOz found out we have been nominated for the "Mr. & Mrs Deviant award"! :wow: You can find out more about this here. [link]
Nominations are anonymous, so we don't know who did this, but thanks so much! :nod: :hug: According to what the page reads the same person can be nominated several times. Anyways, we're both really honored that someone thought of us! :nod:

This journal's feature
This journal's feature is a bit abbreviated, it's a bit difficult to do features on slower Wi-Fi access, but I wanted to do one anyway. Please go check out these folks! If you would, mention that you saw their art here, as I don't have the time to let them know. :nod:


Finally....
I have over 2000 images of yours in my :+devwatch:, please be patient, I'll get to them but there may be 3000+ before I do! :lol: As I can, I'll be answering notes first. So if you have any questions, or anything else you need an answer on right away, I'll get to it quicker if you send it in a note.

OH I ALMOST FORGOT!

:iconmashedpotatoplz: I actually placed second in a contest! $ewm ran this contest for a Bug Report testing image so for fun I thought I'd enter it! I actually won second place! :w00t:
Congratulations to the first place winner,
and third place winner!
:clap:

This was my entry...



Enjoy the features!


And as always!

Just For Laughs!


A farmer was driving along the road with a load of fertilizer. A little boy, playing in front of his house, saw him and called, "What've you got in your truck?"

"Fertilizer," the farmer replied. "What are you going to do with it?" asked the little boy.

"Put it on strawberries," answered the farmer. "You ought to live here," the little boy advised him. "We put sugar and cream on ours."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A doctor was having an affair with his nurse. Shortly afterward, she told him she was pregnant. Not wanting his wife to know, he gave the nurse a sum of money and asked her to go to Italy and have the baby there. "But how will I let you know the baby is born?" she asked. He replied, "Just send me a postcard and write 'spaghetti' on the back. I'll take care of expenses." Not knowing what else to do, the nurse took the money and flew to Italy.

Six months went by and then one day the doctor's wife called him at the office and explained, "Dear, you received a very strange postcard in the mail today from Europe, and I don't understand what it means." The doctor said, "Just wait until I get home and I will explain it to you."

Later that evening, the doctor came home, read the postcard, fell to the floor with a heart
attack. Paramedics rushed him to the ER. The lead medic stayed back to comfort the wife.
He asked what trauma had precipitated the cardiac arrest. So the wife picked up the card and read, "'Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti - Two with sausage and meatballs, two without.'"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A precious little girl walks into a pet shop and asks in the sweetest little lisp, "Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?" As the shopkeeper's heart melts, he gets down on his knees, so that he's on her level, and asks, "Do you want a widdle white wabby or a thoft and fuwwy bwack wabby or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabby over there?" She, in turn blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says in a quiet voice, "I don't fink my pet python weally gives a thit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A young couple were on their way to Vegas to get married. Before getting there, the girl said to the guy that she had a confession to make. The reason that they have not been too intimate is because she is very flat chested.

"If you want to cancel the wedding, then I'll understand," she said. The guy remarked, "I don't mind that you're flat, and sex is not the most important thing in a marriage anyway."

Several miles down the road, the guy turned to the girl and said that he also had a confession to make. The reason that they have not been too intimate is because he is just like a baby below the waist. The girl remarked, "I don't mind that like a baby below the
waist, and sex is not the most important thing in a marriage anyway."

And so, the happy couple went on to Vegas and got married. On their wedding night, the girl took off her clothes. True to her word, she is as flat as a washboard. Then, the guy took
off his clothes. After one glance at his naked body, the girl fainted and fell to the floor.

When she regained consciousness, the guy said, "I told you before we got married, so why were you so surprised?"

"You told me it was just like a baby." The guy replied, "It is! 8 pounds and 21 inches long!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Honey," said this husband to his wife, "I invited a friend home for supper." "What? Are you crazy? The house is a mess, I haven't been shopping, all the dishes are dirty, and I don't feel like cooking a fancy meal!" "I know all that." "Then why did you invite a friend for supper?" "Because the poor fool's thinking about getting married."

GM Feature and a few laughs....

Journal Entry: Wed Sep 23, 2009, 11:18 PM
Hi Everyone!

Well, it's been very busy this week and will be for the next several days as we're getting ready for our next business trip. So you'll probably notice that I haven't been around much, and won't be for the next several days. Our show this time is an 8 day marathon, I have no idea if I'll have any internet access at all. :shrug:

Yesterday, we got to meet up with *jenzanimo :iconjenzanimo: She's here visiting from France, and going to a Hippo collectors conference. We went to the Liberty Memorial, took pictures and then back to the house for dinner. Tomorrow night we'll have her over for steaks. :nod: She also presented us with a really cool frog! :nod: We named him Pierre Francois. :giggle:


With the last feature of the $taff folks here on DA I decided I might as well do a feature of the Gallery Moderators as well. I just went to the official DA Gallery Moderator list, and went off of it so if anyone was left out it's not my fault. :no: As is with many things I do, I find out after I start just how difficult it is to do what I set out to do. Realize, I had to go to each gallery and pluck out something I liked! :nod: You'll notice that I put their departments there for your use. These are the folks that take your Daily Deviation suggestions. :nod:


That's about all the earth shattering news from here!

Enjoy the features!


And as always!

Just For Laughs!



A handsome young lad went into the hospital for some minor surgery and the day after the procedure, a friend stopped by to see how the guy was doing. The friend was amazed at the number of Nurses who entered the room in short intervals with refreshments, offers to fluff his pillows, make the bed, give back rubs, etc. "Why all the attention ?" the friend asked. "You look fine to me."

"I know !" grinned the patient. "But the Nurses kinda formed a little fan club when they all heard that my circumcision required twenty-seven
stitches."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jack was returning to work Monday morning with two black eyes. His workmates were understandably curious: "Jack, what happened to you?!?" "It was the darndest thing! I was at church yesterday, and this fat lady stood up in front of me. You know how a dress can get stuck in the crack of the butt of a fat lady? It looked funny. I figured she wouldn't like that, so I just reached over and pulled it out with a little tug. Next thing I know, she spins around and socks me one!"

"Jeez, you got TWO black eyes in one blow?"

"Naw. After she turned back around, I figured she was angry that I pulled the dress out of her crack, so I tried to poke it back in..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two men are playing tennis, one man falls and hits his elbow and decides to go to the doctors, the other man says "Don't waste any money on the doctors, just go inside the store at the corner down the street, put $10 in the machine in the corner, piss in the cup, let it do its thing and a slip of paper will come out that tells you what you have". So he goes to the store puts ten dollars in the machine, pisses in the cup and out comes a piece of paper it says "You have tennis elbow take this ointment cream and apply it on your elbow 3-4 times a daily". So he goes home wondering how it knew what was wrong, and wanted to see if this machine is a real miracle worker, so he goes home and gets his sisters piss, brothers piss, dogs piss, and jacks-off in the cup goes back to the store, puts ten dollars in the machine and places the cup in the machine. The paper comes out and says "Your sister has gonorrhea, your brother is gay, your dog has worms, and if you keep jacking-off like that you'll never lose that tennis elbow.

When Ralph first noticed that his manhood was growing larger and staying erect longer, he was delighted, as was his wife. But after several weeks his penis had grown to nearly twenty inches. Ralph became quite concerned, so he and his wife went to see a prominent urologist. After an initial examination, the physician explained to the couple that, though rare, Ralph's condition could be cured through corrective surgery. "How long will Ralph be on crutches?" the wife asked anxiously. "Crutches? Why would he need crutches?" responded the surprised doctor. "Well," said the wife, "you are planning to lengthen Ralph's legs, aren't you?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A doctor walked into a bank. Preparing to endorse a check, he pulled a rectal thermometer out of his shirt pocket and tried to 'write' with it. Realizing his mistake, he looked at the thermometer with annoyance and said, "Well that's great, just great... some asshole's got my pen!"
