Old pic's from college days
Got out of the Navy, went to horse shoeing school, and then went on to college for three years on the GI bill. This first picture is one of my favorites of all that I've ever taken. I was in the college rodeo arena, down on my knees, so I would be shooting up, making the horse look like it was bucking higher, at least that's what I was hoping for. This wasn't an SLR camera, it was an Argus C-3, and I'd played with it a bit, taking color slides, so was familiar with light meters and shutter speeds. Anyhow, I really like this picture.
In another post, I've already shown some pictures taken when I had a summer job packing mules into the high Sierra, Nevada. In those college days I was pretty picky about the girls I dated. The first and most important thing in those days was they had to have a double horse trailer so I could get my horse to the team ropings. A guy has to have his priorities in order, and the GI bill didn't pay enough for me to afford a horse trailer.
At the end of my third year I got married, quit college and got a job in N. California, and my bride took this picture of me. Ladies and Gentlemen, those days are long gone. That fellow sitting on the fence wouldn't even make a good shadow of what I am today. Seems that old age has a way of adding a pound or two here and there, ya know what I mean?
