Stormy this was a great idea, we get to know all our pals here so much better and everyone has some fantastic stuff to say.
A long time ago I was an avid photographer, tomorrow I'll post for you guys some of my work. Trouble is most images are huge files so I have to convert them to put them on. Sadly I gave up photography due to a bad back. Used to carry around 40-50lbs of stuff for hours on end. I've got about 4 hard drives full of images from about 10 years of semi pro photography.

Music is my biggest passion. All genres have their place and I appreciate all of them, even those I don't particularly care to listen to, though those are very few and far between. Speaking of which, I haven't picked up my guitars hardly at all of late, which is something I sorely need to remedy . . .

Other than that I'm happiest with a good cup o' joe, a good beer, a tasty meal or a beautiful view from a mountaintop. The simple things are often all I need :)

Pictures and music takes us to new places. I love both too. It is easy to forget the simple things in life.

Yep! I do a bit of drawing and painting, both as a relaxing hobby and occasional freelance editorial illustration work.
I just wish I had some musical talent:D We've all got our skillz!:)

Moshmarr, dear science! That's the kind of art that is in my head that I can't get onto paper. Can I PM you about a little project? It's GG related and I could probably pay you in commission or something. I promise it is cool.

Things I enjoy. Driving!!! I went on a 440ish mile drive today with my dad in the vette. Went up to see Mt Rushmore had a heck of a time. Although the lady that took the parking money ...... me off. She took the full parking fee without mentioning they were closing in 10 minutes so I literally got to park and wheel up the the observation area before we were ushered out. Still a great drive and a fun day!!

As promised I'm putting on some of my old photographic work. Hope you enjoy, these images are all in studio.

This first one is an image I took over the Indian Ocean at 39,000ft from the cockpit of a massive thunderstorm ahead. Dedicated to Stormy !!!

Sure! PM sent in response, sounds very cool indeed:)

Edit: @CaptSteve- Wow! Just a joy to look through, thanks for sharing!

Thank you, glad you liked them. As I said these are from a previous life, sadly all my camera stuff is sold a long time ago because I could no longer handle carrying 50lbs of camera equipment around.

Stormy since you like furry cuddly small animals I promise to PM you some more. Don't want to take up any more space here for non-GG related stuff.
I thought you'd like my first image of the Thunderstorm because it really was a "Stormy" night :)

I do love it. I love stormy nights for real as long as it don't get too windy. I like to hear the rain and thunder. II even have a sleep app on my Kindle fire with the sounds of a storm. I saved that picture too. I will look forward to the other pictures but I think it would be fine to post them so everyone else can see them. I am not the only one loving your work.
