Before I got interrupted by the train wreck, I sort of left the impression I was sort of a dummy, t’ain’t so. My trouble in high school nothing interested me or challenged me academically. Somehow I managed to get accepted to a collage where I met Dr. Kelly, a real math guy, he showed me how math worked and fell in love with math. Other things started falling in place like physics and parts of chemistry as they relate to math. But I still had troubles with the arts (language, history and fine arts). Years later I learned why I needed them to support my math fetish. Anyway I finally graduated and was Sigma Cum Laude (thank goodness transfers seem to lose bad grades). During my early college years I started paying attention to the opposite sex.
Considering going to college, working full time to support me and my lovely wife, photography time got real scarce. As I felt my photo skills and equipment was too sophisticated to take snapshots, I missed most of the most important photographic opportunities of my life time, family snapshots.
After an absence from doing photography on a regular basis I decided to do a-picture-a-day-for-a-year project. As a direction I am attempting to use modern images where possible to relate times in my photographic past. As I am no longer a spring chicken, I can get philosophical some times. As a Christian I often see God possibly using me and my photography to send short messages. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have enjoyed making them around Monroe, NC. TheElmo
