I am a retired teacher, coach and athletic director. While my wife, Judy, and I were teaching she had a photo studio, and I had a dark room where I did black and white and color. Some was for the studio while most of it was just a hobby. When we retired in 2000, we sold our house in Eastern Washington and moved onto our boat, Last Class, and our motorhome. We sold Last Class a few years ago and bought a small house in Yuma, Arizona and this year bought one in Emmett Idaho. Now we spend the summers in Emmett and the winters in Yuma. Over our 50 years of marriage, we have always had an interest in photography and still do.

I am very sorry to say that is will be my last month on this site. I decided my 3 hours a day would be better used taking photos and trying to update and promote my website. I really thinks this is the best for me at this time and I would really like to thank everyone for their fine support over the last two years. I have really learned a lot and really enjoy following many different people on this site. Since I will not be looking at the site very often , I am going to offer a special on any of my photos on this site. I can print up to a 11X14 for a special price of $20 which will include postage. It you are interested please use my email which is hay5bales@yahoo.com
