The Ger/BB/1905 photoart
I liked this one photograph,mostly due to the water. The ship is too much a silhouette, but I used it anyway, partly because I didn't realize just how dark it was. This is my current version, much hacked upon.
I spent 11 years on active duty in the navy. Half was as an enlisted man and half as an officer. My Dad had interested me in the navy and ships, when I was young. I found that I was attracted to doing research, regardless of topic, although much of that research has been in the fields of naval and military history. My Dad was also an artist, and got me drawing and painting since I was three. Much of my work consists of portraits of military and naval historical figures, as well as ships and tanks.
