I guess I've been on a bit of a hiatus from Deviant art for quite a while. I haven't been uploading photos here much at all, mostly on Facebook. Now that I've re-armed myself with a camera worthy from which to post photos, I'm having another go. Expect a bit of a gush of new content, especially in a couple weeks when I get back from Fort Bragg again. It's been quite a ride from there to here. I started taking pictures on and off long before you could snap a quickie with your phone and have it look even remotely presentable. I had a decent point and shoot to start with, and upgraded from there. I got a Canon superzoom and thought it was bette

Glad you like it. I had to remove comments because commenters were just getting ludicrous about it. Thanks!
there should be at least one sub machine gun carried by campus polices. and at least two assault rifles per campus.
Problem with that is, the campus police at the shcool I attend are off the main campus, and in any situation where something like that would be necessary, they would probably already be too late.
