Sorry for the corny title - just couldn't resist.My name is Dennis and I just got back into photography after two-decade layoff. I started off in 35mm in 1973 and lugged a couple of bags of gear, cameras, lenses, etc around the world during a 22 year Navy career. I got out of that habit after kids came along and cribs, diaper bags and car seats elbowed out camera gear for room in the car. Also, while my wife was remarkably patient with my stopping and waiting for just the right lighting, dirty-diapered kids were less so.
I got back into photography after my wife "forced" me to buy a DSLR in December of 2008. We'd gone to a camera store to buy a point and shoot for her to use in her antiques and collectibles business and she caught me looking at a couple of DSLRs in the display case. She suggested I check them out 'just for fun", but, when I tried to give them back to the sales person she asked "Which one do you want?" and refused to leave the store until I chose one.
Sadly, I lost Mrs Sea_Dog to cancer six months later, but fortunately she got to see me revive the passion I once had. My gallery is a lasting tribute to her and our love.

Over the last two and a half years, since learning about Renderosity from a friend, has been a continuous learning and discovery process. The artists here are so amazingly talented and inspirational - and extremely friendly. Seeing their work and reading their comments on mine have allowed me to grow as an artist much faster than I could have on my own.

I love this! You've got the classic Mini, the New Mini, and then a Lincoln Town Car behind this, which makes it (from front to back) Miniest, Mini, to Maxi...well...at least it was cute when I first said it. This is a great shot.

All the car and bike clubs tend to come over and do the Ring of Kerry. This reminds me of the mini rally. Nice cars!

Great shot. My brother had an original Mini in Berlin in the 60s while I had an Austin Healey 'Sprite' in the 60s!!

got to love this shot! My first car was a little white Mini (the old varity) and I loved it soooo much, rust got the better of her and she had to go to the big car park in the sky. I would love a BMW one but couldn't afford it and I've got a Corsa instead. My friends hubby works for BMW in Oxford where they make the Mini, I often say that he could just put an extra one throught he assy line and no-one would know.......

From the comments, so many Mini owners loved these cars. In decades past almost all of my circle of friends owned one...they brought drivi9ng / car owning to us all. The most recent models are very classy looking...so, this is a pic that stirs the memories!
