I am an American Fighting Man

I served 25 years in the USAF. I served because I did not want to be in the Army. I did not want to be in the Army because I did not want to be in combat. I flew 117 combat missions over Viet Nam. I did not see one enemy face to face.

The technology of war changes more rapidly than most other human efforts. There was a time when all wars were fought face to face with crude but effective weapons. These were real wars. Face to face, hand to hand, no buttons, no switches, no drones, just man to man.

Three New Images.

Two Armies

Two Armies was an experiment in combining a number of digital photos.

Face to Face 2 is the same figures as in Face to Face. I find the two knight figures to be the most dynamic of those in my collection.

Face to Face 2

Hillside Battle

An attempt to and a more realistic landscape. I find it more challenging to add a natural background to my little toys.

New image

Here are two versions of my latest effort.

The first image is my original of this subject, and I have had it printed on canvas at 16x11

This second piece is my latest version and only exists as a digital file at this time.

A Time of Violence

We seem to over romanticize knights and the middle ages. Remember it was a time of horrible violence—much like today without toilet paper.
