http://buckeyes.smugmug.com/Zoos/ My interest in photography came from my father who spent 3 years in the early 1950's traveling across the country as a traveling secretary for his fraternity. As part of his job he was encouraged to see as much as he could. This website is dedicated to his memory. He took many slides that I still have to this day. I have uploaded them to the America Circa 1950 gallery. Some can not be duplicated, including downtown San Francisco in 1951, and Havana, Cuba with 50's vintage cars in front. Looking at these slides really spurned my interest but I did not pursue it passionately until the last 9 or 10 years. I started to travel more with work and made sure I took vacations every year to places I had never seen and wanted to photograph. Since that time I have visited more than half of the National Parks and set foot in 45 states. I have also been fortunate enough to go abroad to the Caribbean, Costa Rica, and Fiji. The newer photos (2005 and beyond) are digital. They are shot with either a Pentax D20, D100 or *istD camera. Older photos have been scanned from negatives. The quality on these is a little uneven primarily due to age. These include trips to New England in September 1999, Southern Utah in May of 2000, Central California, South Florida, Padre Island, and the Georgia Sea Coast, all from March of 2000. Other trips include the Pacific Coast from San Francisco to Washington in May of 1999, the high plains of North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska from September 2002, the Northern Rockies including Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Glacier and Central Idaho from September 2001 (just before 9/11), Boston and Newport, RI in 2002, the Great Smokies and Western North Carolina from 2001, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, also from the summer of 2001, Washington, DC and Virginia and Maryland from Spring of 2001. A highlight gallery from these trips is American Landscapes. From these trips I have included several compilation galleries including Animals around the World, Flowers around the World, and Cities of America. I have lived in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and now Pennsylvania, so I also have galleries for those states. I also have included several sports galleries including the Cavs vs Bulls game when Michael Jordan scored his career high. Other galleries include Pittsburgh, Columbus DeSales and Ohio State Sporting events, as well as auto racing in Ohio and Indiana, and professional sporting events in Ohio, Michigan, Maryland and New York. Your comments are very much appreciated as I am looking for impartial and critical review. Note: For many of the galleries, I do very little or no editing so the quality may be highly various, particularly in the Sports Galleries. If you would like to order a photo and believe that the copy you see is marked or imperfect, please e-mail me at general92762@hotmail.com and I will see if I can get a cleaner copy for you.
