swainboat's photostream  

I've lived most of my life in Oregon. For years in my free time I've wandered around the back roads of the NW. with my camera, fishing, and camping gear . I never truly had a set destination in mind. I just wanted to explore and to see what was around the next bend in the road. At one time i mostly photographed scenic, but nowdays my passion is vanishing america, such as abandoned homesteads, barns, and old stuff.

I was born in Boise,ID. and I have lived in Arlington,Va and Seattle.WA.

My camera is a Sony OX 100 DSLR with a Minolta 28x300 telephoto lens. I used a Monolta Maxxum 35 for years, and finally joined the modern world and switched to digital.

Note: ... Potential contacts I'm sorry, but i won't choose anyone with more than 100 contacts. I have a hard enough time keeping up my 50 to 60 , so i don't see how a person with hundreds has time to follow and comment on everyone.
In the future when i pick a contact, i prefer a variety of images. I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in family or personal pictures,.... a continuous stream of flower shots, or the same old theme, such as rusty junk.
