Photos

This is a collection of photos, in no particular order (well, some of them are), from my life; places I have been, things I have seen, stuff I have drawn, sculpted, welded or built. Some photos of our dogs to keep your interest and even some pics of me as a kid dressed in hand me down clothing. Just something to accompany the ~60,000 words in the book.
