Hi! I'm sjlarue short for Steve Jones from Laruuuuue OHIO! (Town Joke) Our town is so behind the times, the Amish (Old World) put in our phone system....Now the question is how do you get DSL from a string and two cans....
But I LOVE IT! Small town America. Where the wedding of a husband and his wife are truly for life. The traffic is only stopped by two stoplights and a East/West train. Where I can see a kid misbehaving and remind him that I know his dad...and he stops misbehaving. Where the church that I go to has 150 people...and I know every one of them on both a first and last name basis...and they know me...and their children(even the ones that I have seen grow up) call me "Mr. Jones"(although to be honest I much prefer Steve.
)
Where If I want to know anything that has happened in the past week, I only need to go to the store and with 75 cents, I go buy a pop and just stand back and listen...Or go give a pint of blood on a Saturday afternoon.
Where My barber's name is Mark and his wife and kids I have known since before he was my barber. My butcher's name is Jim (he owns the grocery store too) and his 20+ year old son...is one of those that calls me "Mr. Jones".
I'm at least 20 minutes from anywhere and would not change a thing. If I leave in the morning this is my view:
Why would I move somewhere else?
If you own a Honda...thank you for feeding my family.
Anyhew, that's me.
Oh and I own a D300 and several pieces of decent glass to get me by, Photography is skill and an eye for what looks good. Luck has no part in it. A good photographer only needs a body and a lens. High priced glass (over $2K) is for people that need to buy another Honda (Pref a CR-V)...
Birds, quadrupeds, flowers, landscapes, and the occasional wedding for a friend are what eat up my hard drive space.
