    So...all the previous pics were shot w/an aim & shoot. I have been wanting to get back into photog. Did a lot of it in college--did my own darkroom work, mixed my own developing chemicals, rolled my own TMax (yes film). Recently (and finally) picked up a decent DSLR (Nikon D600). Photos are significantly better now with the DSLR rig.

    Nice blue, seems you get around quite a bit, what do you do for work.

    Most of my trips for work these days are China and India. Ocassionaly I go to the twin cities. ONce I went to Germany (Wolfsburg/VW plant) but that was back before digital cameras and I cant ifnd any pictures.

    My wife has a lot of great photos of vacations to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Hawaii and a few other places... have to dig.

    Some old India shots ...

    It was our honeymoon. We did 2 days on Oahu (staying on Waikiki and taking an island tour, visiting pearl, etc) and then flew to Maui for 6 more days.
