I am a retired HMC/USN. My length of service was 24 years. I was a Hospital Corpsman (medic) and served most of my service with the United States Marine Corps. I traveled many places in the USA & in foreign countries, including southeast asia. My favorite place is the Philippines - where I found a most pleasant and hospitable people. Still to this day i cannot say enough praise about the Filipino people. I have seen them in their native environment and in the USA. The conduct of those people is a model which I wish to emulate and tell the world of these remarkable, successful, energetic and talented people. More about this later. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Kids Pageants | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
I became interested in beauty pageants for kids | back in 1967. Back then this was a new thing and not something most people knew about. I photograhed my first one in 1967. A local pageant in which one of the contestants was a future Miss America (from Mississippi). Since then I have photographed many pageants for kids - recently I did merge with a large Photo & video company and have photographed and videoed many pageants over half of the US. For 20 years I did photogenic pictures for pageants. I decided to retire from this due to personal reasons. I see nothing wrong with pageants - as reported in the unfortunate death of one pageant child. While her death is tragic - it has NOTHING to do with pageants - only that she was involved with them and the media has exploited this aspect in such a way that any comments I might make would be most offensive to people - so I will not comment further on that particular subject. Pageants for kids have there place - beleive it or not. You either beleive in them or u don't - it is that simple. I make no comment either way. For me it is a way of life.
