Overview

These are my personal pictures. At last count there are 13,043 of them here. Most are pictures from my vacations with my wife, Amy. Many of the others are from volleyball events or Chicago Bulls games. Here is an album with my favorite pictures.

My current camera is a Kodak DX7590. I like it quite a bit, though it is a bit larger than the typical point and shoot. My previous camera was a typical point and shoot, an Olympus D360L. I switched from the Olympus to the Kodak in September 2004. The movies that are linked on this page are all from the Kodak.
