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 thought about 2 minutes of renting a car in Las Vegas...but quickly decided to forget it. Much more to be seen and enjoyed on foot and there is lots of commercial transportation. I was at the other end of the strip...also fascinating but the next time I've got to explore the south end. Neat and colorful night photography.

The Strip is such a strange world...compelling, mundane, jiggly and visually arresting. I have yet to actually visit it to see if my impressions of it match the reality, but on a level, I am so completely satisfied with it as you're showing us here. Great sense of color and in this case it seems that color and life are synonymous. I love the POV...the focus is in one direction only but there seems to be a full-surround as well. WOW. I like that!

Yup, that's the strip 24/7. When going to and from the airport I tell the cab driver to take Paradise Road instead.
