About Me

(Oh no, this has to be updated. Just as soon as I have a minute to breath...) Returning to the world of photography after an extended period of self imposed exile. what should I put here...
OK, well, about me.
No gushing about my kids, No bashing my Ex-wife, no complaining about my job.
Let’s see… I think that leaves, “Hi.” Yup, that’s pretty much it.
I’ll try. I’m a retired photographer living in Lexington County. I have lived in the Columbia area, off and on, for most of my life. As a member of a big family (dozens of Cousins) it would be hard for me to think of living anywhere else.
Hmm, I’m trying to come up with something else to put on here.
What you were shapes what you are. In that case: ex-cop, ex-crook, artist, photographer, carpenter, plumber, electrician, gardener, stagehand... I’ve never been a Doctor, Lawyer, Hostess, or Waitress.
Ex-comic book geek, music lover, avid reader, former martial artist,
Good friend, decent Dad, lousy husband.
bald by choice, furry as a bear
Father, orphan,
I have just shy of 30 Blogs. They pretty much say everything.
Anything else you would like to know, please feel free to ask.
Any friends that see something I’ve missed, please, leave me a comment below.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mark Seliger, the ghost of Hunter S Thompson.
Women:
I would like to find a woman who can go to see Ballet on Saturday and turn right around and go to see HateBreed on Tuesday. She has to like walking on the river, but also shopping for clothes. Someone who can listen to Jonny Cash, then put on the Ramones. Someone who'll let me hold her durring a thunderstorm, but she's strong enough to speak her mind.
I DON'T want to meet someone who thinks, "Oh, I'll change who I am and maybe he'll like me better", because you can't change who you are for anyone but yourself. You know what? I thought I found her a couple of times...
Guys:
Someone who likes to hang out. Either shoot some pool, watch a movie, play Chess, or hang out on the deck and just chill... ..

What I want for Christmas

  What I want for Christmas. I want a Canon 10-D camera body, a simple lens, and a basic flash. Photography isn't a profession, a hobby, or a nice little fun activity, it's an addiction. I know...

Getting drunk didn't help...

  Yesterday really was NOT a banner day in the life of one Robert L. Porter. This kinda sets the tone for the day: pick up a book of crossword puzzles for an old friend in the hospital, run by my...

  I'm trying to get my life back on track.  It's not easy, but I'm doing it.  I've had to address some issues in my life, and I figured I would share some of the things I've seen about ...
