Hi my name is Marty and thank you for taking the time to look at my images. In comparison to most people I have not posted many images and am in constant awe of the artists and photographers who are here daily and posting.
ÂÂ
         The following story is mine and I am not telling it for any other reason than to let my friends here know why sometimes my comments are short or perhaps very repetitive in nature. I use cut and past most of the time due to motor skill problems.
ÂÂ
On November 30, 2006 I went out to get the mail, which is probably within 20 feet of my driveway and on the way back to the house I was shot twice. Once behind my right ear and the second one hit me in the top of the skull. Doctors never expected me to awaken from my comma however I did and am here doing fairly well. One of the bullets is logged in my right frontal lob and is impossible to be removed.
ÂÂ
At the time I was working in a Bank in Tandem Security a fancy name for computer security. Police have no idea why this happened since I had no public contact at the bank and had lived there only a few years. I was shot at close range due to powder burns and my hair being on fire until the blood flow put it out.
ÂÂ
Have moved over a thousand miles away and do not plan to return to that area for any reason. Even now when I hear a backfire from a car or truck I want to dive for cover.
Update July 1, 2012
Due to balance probelms I have not been able to look at the computer very much. Hope to be able to comment more in the future and hope everyone understands.ÂÂ

This is a real stunner. The soft pastel colors are superb and that little bit of purple peeking out from the center puts a wonderful exclamation point on the image.
