Mel :-)'s photostream
|
I recently retired from the USAF after 24 years. I moved every 2-3 years, and I enjoy it - although I always miss the places I leave.
I'm a new full-time college student; probably the oldest student on campus at Texas Tech University. I'm majoring in Studio Arts with an emphasis in Photography (what else?)
I love "rural decay" and ghost towns. Some people consider themselves "portrait photographers", "landscape photographers" or "wildlife photographers". I shoot "Americana"
I'm looking for photographers in/around the Lubbock area, if you're near me, send me a message!
If you see a print you'd like to buy, check here to see if it's posted for sale on my site. You can buy prints, framed prints, canvas wraps, prints on acryllic, or even greeting cards!:
