Hi Everyone!
Well, spring has finally sprung here in the midwestern U.S.
So you should start seeing more and more flower pics uploaded by me, now...
I know, some of you are not necessarily thrilled with flower photos. Some of you might rather see fake blood oozing from eyeballs, or women tied up, nude in compromising positions, or children being beaten.
Sorry, the kid's grown and gone, Alice won't let me tie her up, nude or otherwise, and I'm fresh out of fake blood!
So you'll just have to put up with the shots of natures bright and beautiful lovelies, out of me.
This last weekend, I uploaded a 4 part series on the subject of Exposure. I don't leave this type of thing in my general gallery for very long. I move them to the Tutorials folder. As some of you know, I have this penchant to try to help out the folks here on DA who are still learning. I really try to take the "mystique" out of photography. I see so many people on here that have the opportunity, and they can see the shot in their mind.... they just can't seem to get the image they really want. These tutorials are written in plain English and I hope they help someone here out.
This week I decided to dig into my Buildings and Structures
's that I've collected and include some of them in the feature below.
Enjoy the features!
A Couple Of Laughs
The newlyweds are in their honeymoon room and the groom decides to let the bride know where she stands right from the start of the marriage.
He proceeds to take off his trousers and throw them at her.
He says, "Put those on."
The bride replies, "I can't wear your trousers."
He replies, "And don't forget that!
I will always wear the pants in the family!"
The bride takes off her knickers and throws them at him with the same request,
"Try those on!"
He replies,"I can't get into your knickers!"
"And you never bloody will if you don't change your attitude."

As an airplane is about to crash, a female passenger jumps up frantically and announces, "If I'm going to die, I want to die feeling like a woman."
She removes all her clothing and asks, "Is there someone on this plane who is man enough to make me feel like a woman?"
A man stands up, removes his shirt and says, "Here, iron this!".
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.
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.

A Note to all!
Anyone who has ed my works...
By the way, if I'm watching you, and you're watching me, I probably won't thank you for any '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 's!
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. There's nothing we can really do about those who hate. So don't spread it around here please! 
Be sure to visit our other pages!....
Ever wonder if it's your connection speed, or DA, being slow?
