Hey everyone! I've had a lot of people ask what kind of camera setup I use, and then they tell me all about theirs. I'm kind of ashamed to admit it, but I have no clue when it comes to photography... I am using a cheap Fuji Finepix 8.0 I bought at Best Buy about a week into the trip when my older cheaper camera died... Sorry there's no great digital SLR supercamera with "adjustable F-stops" and "variable lenses" etc etc etc...
That said, I've had a fair amount of interest in a calendar and or glossies of some of the pics. If you are interested, PLEASE take a minute to click the poll on the right side here. You can choose more than one option so pick accordingly. I'm trying to gauge interest here to decide if it's worth the time to get some professional calendars made to sell here for probably around $20. Thanks gor taking the time to take the poll!! Daniel

About Me
- Daniel
- I'm a 30 y.o now 2nd year medical student at Quillen College of Medicine. I retired from the Army as a Captain after losing my arm in a little "incident" in Afghanistan.
My history....
Some people have e-mailed wanting to know my military history, so here's the cliff notes!
Entered the Army in 1995 as an Infantry private. Did my basic/AIT at Ft. Benning, GA before going to Fort Hood. At Hood I was in 2/7 Cav (Garryowen) of the First Cavalry Division. I then did a year in Korea with 1-9 Infantry (Manchu) as part of the 2nd Infantry Division. From there i transitioned to the TN Guard as a medic, completing another AIT as Fort Sam Houston as a 91W (Medic) in 2000. I then went to Officer Candidate School in 2001/2 (Class 45) and comissioned as a 2LT in August of 2002. Flight school followed in 2003 (class 3-18) and I got my wings on April 28th 2004. After Apache school I served as a platoon leater with R Trp 4/278th Cav (Rogues) until April 28th 2006 when I broke my wings. I finally medically retired February 22 2007 at Fort Sam Houston and subsequently began medical school at Quillen College of Medicine in July of 2007. Now i'm coming to a town near you!

C'mon now, people are saying all these nice things about your pictures and you admit it's a fluke? Shame. You could have at least led us up the garden path partway.
Just kidding. The pictures (except for yucky spiders) are great, however you took them.
And remember I said one time you always have a mechanic's job to fall back on? After reading latest posts, evidently I was wrong about that. Glad the Bean is surviving.

Hey Daniel-I sent you an email-I can probably get you a place to stay in Jacksonville if you're interested. Includes jacuzzi, and my brother-in-law is an auto mechanic. jolo219 at optonline dot net
