Editor For Chester, VA

Ok, so I grew up here in Chester. I went to Thomas Dale, VCU, and then moved to Miami in 1988. While in Miami I worked for a TV station as a graphic designer and did freelance photography for years. I have a great wife and 4 year old twins and now we are back helping out my mom with her transition into a nursing home. There's lots of information in those 18 years that I would like to share with everyone here, but it will take some time. Let's just have some fun for now, and get some stories and forums published. Have a story idea, email me at photoguy1967@yahoo.com.
