Goodbye DA.

1 min read
Well folks its official.  As of today I will no longer be on DA.  I never get on here anymore and my photography has gone to the side as I work on my web development business.  For all I have followed or follow me, good luck in your future endeavors.

Greets all,

Well life is defiantly different for me now.  We moved back to Small-ville (Gatesville) Texas after I retired from the USAF.  Currently I am pursuing my BS in Cyber-security and attending class 3 nights a week.  Aside from all that is has been a struggle to find something to do with my time.  Don't get me wrong there is tons of house work that needs to be done and lots of places to take the daughter.  Its just wierd not having the structured environment of the military where everything was scheduled out.  I guess I will give it a few more months to get used to the freedom.

Whats up DA?

1 min read
Wow,

Has it been that long since I was on here?!!  Just wanted to give everyone an update as to whats going on.  I am finishing up my last few months as a member of the USAF.  I will officially retire 1 May 2013 after 22 years of dedicated service.  Since my last journal entry I have spent 7 months in the lovely country of Afghanistan, discovered the addiction that is SWTOR and worked my butt off while spending lots of time with my lovely wife and daughter.  Now that I will be a retired vet, I should have more time to get back to what I love...photography.  Ill post up some when we return to Texas in April.  Hugs to all.

Well this last year has been a fun one...NOT!  Work was getting interesting and I was given the job I wanted working with systems in the CP.  I was also stoked to learn I would be attending NCO Academy.  Things were looking good!



Everything was going good until the bottom fell out.  While I was in NCOA some other NCO's got it in their heads that our SMSgt who was in charge of the CP was no good and wanted him gone.  An investigation was started and he was removed from his position.  Being that the other Senior NCO's had either departed for new bases and the other one was TDY to Iraq, these NCO's were put in charge of the CP.  I was not on good terms with these younger individuals and paid for it.  I was stripped from my position and put back to doing airman work.  This went on until my supervisor returned from Iraq and set things straight.  Im back in my dream job and everything is awesome, I even have a great working relationship with one of the individuals who caused the whole thing.

2009 also saw the arrival of my son Brenden who has not lived with me for more that 2 weeks since me and his mothers divorce in 1997.  Its good to have him home!



My daughter is growing like a weed and continues to enlighten my life!



Anyway I'm on track for another deployment to Afghanistan in July but Im taking my camera.  As soon as the testing cycle for MSGT is completed you can expect more photographs to go up.  Just been a tough year and depression is a bitch...lol

Everyone remembers the commission below done by :iconlord-fsan:...


Star Wars The Pooh by Lord-FSan

We loved it so much that I paid him a sizable about of money (on a TSGT salary) for this one and another one featuring the whole fam as sci-fi characters.  I don't want to talk bad about someone but I feel this need to be said to teach everyone to GET IT IN WRITING.  We commissioned the piece in Jan 2009...I paid in advance.  Wrong move on my part.  As of this date I have received nothing from him except excuse emails and the ever popular its in the mail excuse.  He even went as far as to post in his journal that it was complete and will be up for display on DA but nothing has shown up.  Don't get me wrong he did send a few WIP shots but never a complete piece.  I just want everyone out there to be smart when getting art done.  You never know who is gonna screw ya.

As Ronnie Raygun  once said "Trust...but verify"

Well I'm sorry I haven't updated In a long time but things here have been busy to say the least.  My daughter is now six months old and is keeping her daddy on his toes so I don't have a lot of time to do any photography work in my spare time.  About to months ago me and the wife had a Bombshell dropped on us.  My father in law was diagnosed with brain tumors which were inoperable.  He passed away last week.  I will try to update some of my work here soon since I did invest in a pallet but we are helping the mother in law clear up late minute things.  I ask that all of you keep us in your prayers.
