Some of my posted photos date as far back as the early 1950s. These are scans of slides my father took with an old Argus Model C3 35mm rangefinder camera on Kodachrome film. I am fortunate to have rescued them from an impending estate sale after his death and consider them some of the most valuable nuggets of his legacy.
Although he did not, I'm sure, consider himself an artist some of his photos are quite stunning yet it is not uncommon to see a roll of film spanning eighteen months of time.
It is interesting that many of the shots in my "Most Interesting" photo set are his work, not mine.
Most of his photos are of "all the cousins" or baby pictures or other shots that only a parent would love. I do not post those. Rather it is my goal, with these pictures, to share a little slice of Americana from the period This is my tribute to my parents who could never show their slides to more than a roomful of close friends, but, I'm sure would be more than happy to share some of their memories with the world.

I am a Wyoming boy who had to leave the state to make a living in my chosen profession as a Manufacturing Engineer. I've been taking 35mm since the early 70s and just recently got into Digital photography. Now doing consulting work, I am finding that all kinds of things need to be put on film (or pixels). The camera now goes with me everywhere.


I live Southwest of Little Rock back in the bayou country next to the river, upstream from the dam.
