Thanks for visiting! I love to take pictures of most everything and pretty much anything. I remember my first camera was a garage sale treasure that used Kodak film that you had to manually setup on spindles and through the red lens in the back, you twisted the knob until the next number in sequence appeared. It was great. From that, I got a Pentax for my mission which proved great for many rolls of slide film mailed back to the states for processing (and someday digitally copied and loaded here). Somewhere along the way, I got a light leak in it and all of the sudden all my pictures had "Northern Lights" appearing in them. After much patience and money trying to get it fixed, I talked my great wife into using some of my bonus money last Christmas on the Rebel XTi. Since then, we've filled up the MacBook, most of an external hard drive and now I'm taking on the In-ter-net. We'll see how long it takes to fill that up! Until then, enjoy A Baird Photograph on Smugmug, my new BFF!
