Draco1958

Depending on my roommates work schedules, I may have the ability to get to this one.  Otherwise I would need a ride.  If anyone going is near Taylor and has room, please drop me a note.

I have been gone a long time.  Something like 5 or 6 years.  Wow does time fly.  So I thought I should reintroduce myself.  I go by Draco1958 here, my nickname I prefer to be called by is Draco and my real name is Bill.  I picked up the nickname in the mid 80's.  I used to collect the dragon figurines by Grenadiere used for D&D.  Then I started collecting dragon statues and artwork.  Friends started calling me dragon then it switched to draco.  So I have using it since.  I was pretty much a regular on the site and at the group meet ups at City Club.  Some thing went down in my personal life so I took a break.  Just didn't intend for it to be for so long.  Most of my info on my profile hasn't changed.  I did however try going back to school taking online classes for photography.  Even though I have been taking photos for 30+ years I thought it wouldn't hurt to learn new things.  In the process of that, I upgraded my camera equipment.  Instead of using basic digital cameras I now have a Canon DSLR.  I love working with the camera, especially with the manual settings.   So for the basic info, I am living in Taylor now, I share a 3 bedroom apartment with a friend, his brother and mother.  I have the basement so I am still a basement dweller (cue spooky music).  I am still single, sadly.  Working on getting disability due to back issues.  We have 1 car right now and 2 people who have jobs so other than running errands or going to Heritage Park in Taylor, I can't get out as much as I would like to.  Have to pick roommates up from work and their off work times sometimes vary.  Right now most of my photo work is landscape, flowers and moon shots.  Haven't had much chance for working with people as subjects but hoping that will change.  I am still into Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Renaissance faires and costuming, camping, thunderstorms, Motor City Comic Con, Godzilla and getting out to the club when able.  If anyone wants to know more, just ask.  Always willing to chit chat (oh man I said chit chat) or hang out for coffee, talk about photography or whatever.  Just let me know.  I know long post but didn't say much but I never was any good at talking about myself.  That's all for now.  More to come when I figure out what and how I want to say things.

This is for those of us who consider ourselves children of the night.  You all have been mooned.

Here's a sunset I took in 2013.  This is one of 3 I had on public display, the bridge I posted earlier is another one, when the DIA did an event with the DCA called Art in the Streets.  So I can actually say I had the privilege of having some of my photo work used in a public display for local artists.
 

Here is a picture I took at Heritage Park in Taylor.

For me, the original Halloween is one of the best.  It uses subtlety instead of gore, suspense and music combined.  Another one I like is John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness.  Another movie using music and suspense instead of gore.

I'm single and I hate it. It's not that I need someone to complete me, I want someone to share things with. Hobbies, bonfires, just someone to encourage me when I do good. Encourage me to stay with my hobbies, to learn more. Yeah, one could say you can do that for yourself but it's not the same.
