Update 10/09 Just got a new Canon 7D. Looking to shoot video clips of my grandchildren with various lenses!
UPDATE: 9/09 With a lifelong love of the ocean, but giving up on the dream of living near the sea due to the reality of the cost, my dream is alive again. Along with some family members we now share ownership of a house in the Florida Keys! I'm looking forward to years of enjoyment and being able to share this with my kids and grandkids. I'm hopeful that when I'm gone, they will see the ocean and think of me as I do of my dad who passed this love on to me.
UPDATE: I'm updating my profile to make it a bit shorter. Those new to my profile won't get the "whole" story as before.
Many thanks to those of you that have viewed my photostream and have taken time to comment. While I take pictures for my personal enjoyment, I believe photography is similar to telling a joke; that is, it's just better when shared with someone else.
I am a cancer survivor (12 years now). Jesus is the Joy in my life. But He has extended my days for me to "see" real joy in this life. That more "tangable" joy in my life lately has been from my Grandkids. They make the last 57 years seem like training for me to be a better Papa

"I love Joe’s (wvgasguy) beautiful Scripture pictures and bird captures! His photostream also shows his love for his family!

"The Good Lord has given Joe the eyes, mind and talent to capture through his photography all the beauty that nature has to offer. This man also has great "vision", not only in regard to the world around him that he photographs but also in the people and places that populate this world. When it comes to family, community or church his feet are planted firmly on the ground.I have not been on Flickr all that long, but meeting a good Christian man such as Joe makes the Flickr experience all the better. Yes Joe, through our Savior, Jesus Christ you are my Brother and Praise Jesus, the risen Lord for that! You will always have my prayers; God Bless You!"

"During the time that I've been a member of flickr.com, I kept seeing more and more of Joe's photographs. Seemed like they kept popping up in various groups. So one day I "took some time" and had a wonderful stroll through his photostream. I came away with a sense of having just seen some of the most beautiful captures of God's creation.
Joe has a great talent for not only capturing gorgeous scenery and shots of Mother Nature; but his stream lets the viewer know that the road never ends in Joe's world. He has many, many roads to travel and capture on film and I'm just so thankful that I've had the privilege of knowing him a little more with each passing day. The day our paths crossed was a very lucky day in my life.
So visit his stream, take his photographs to heart, and know that you have been tagged as a special person in Joe's world."12th October, 2007

"I must say that I'm impressed by the short description of your life and your philosophy and I feel proud to have been invited to your round of friends. By the way, I'm in Nikon, I hope that doesn't make a problem."

"Joe is one of those guys you meet on Flickr and hope to run into in real life someday. He is a Christian and his kind eye for photography reflects that. He hasn't settled for just taking great pictures. He also gets the software out and learns techniques to add interest to his already beautiful pictures. Thanks for making me an Orton addict, Joe!!"

""WVWiseguy is one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet. He loves photography and he loves what he photographs--it is most evident in his work. He has a sensitive nature that is revealed in his photos--his subjects and his approach to the finished product. I am so happy that he has allowed himself to share his photo's with us thru "Flickr". He is one talented guy!"
