Photographs These photographs were taken by me, at various times and places in my travels. They are places I love, like Chincoteague VA, Hampton NH, special photos of flowers and landscapes, pets, woods, lakes, ponds, oceans, storms and ships. I'm not a professional photographer, but I do love taking photographs. Please feel free to copy and use these photographs, why let them simply sit here at Snowloft.com and rot when they can be shared with many.

Wild and Uncrowded Beaches The Ocean, Me and Happiness Manga I purchased a few books on how to draw Manga. I really enjoyed the time I spent learning this unique form of art. As with photography, I'm not the best artist. But I do like to share the works I have done. Many of these are originals, and some are my attempts to copy existing artwork. I hope you enjoy them! Tribute To Captain Mr. Bob Payne of Chincoteague Virginia Captain Mr. Bob Payne passed away on February 8, 2006 at age 63. Visiting Payne's Sea Treasures was always at the top of my list, for as long as I can remember on my trips to Chincoteague, Virginia. His gentle, kind and friendly manner in which he greeted visitors drew immediate attention to those fortunate to have met him. My special attachment to him involved horseshoe crabs. I was always fascinated by horseshoe crabs at Chincoteague, and he always had some available to buy. His tender affinity for children made the young ones smile, especially when he offered them a special, free seashell as a treasured gift. I was greatly saddened upon hearing of his death in May 2006, where his store was under the care of Star Mondragon. Star was equally gentle, kind and friendly, and obviously was very, very close to Captain Mr. Bob. I spoke with her at length, and she recorded some of my special memories on her portable cassette recorder. She loved his artwork, and described his enjoyment in creating them. She had made copies of many of his works for visitors to buy, they were the only thing for sale that day for she was allowing her guests to select anything they wanted from the store, free of charge, as a memory to Captain Mr. Bob. My family and I miss him. And someday, I would like to meet Star again, if just to say hello and share more memories.
