http://davidsview.smugmug.com/popular/ I am Retired from the US Army. My name is not important. What I do is not important. I am just a guy with a camera. I enjoy taking pictures and looking at and saving pictures others have taken. I am a student of photography. Not in a formal sense, but in the sense that as I take more pictures and view other pictures, I may learn from each. As I grow more comfortable here, I hope to show those pictures I have taken. I hope to learn by those pictures I have viewed from others. I hope to become an active member of this community.
