Backyard Friends


DENNIS: Whenever I see anything in the backyard, if they stay still, I can usually do pictures through the glass window. If I go outside, they're gonna run.

Usually birds, squirrels, there's a rabbit I shot--- with a camera! The minute the door opens, they're gone, so I have to shoot through the glass. I play them back on the camera, and I decide if I am gonna blow it up. Then I print them. This time, I went to CVS to do them... 99 cents for 8 x 10, can't go wrong on that!

Maybe 3 or 4 favorites. Some ducks in a reservoir in Clark. I found a good place where you can do that. So I think that'll be a good one for the contest, with the 2 ducks with the color of the water. I took it early, early fall.

The contest: Our Photography Club is having a contest... which looks better? They're all good but all different, it's hard to decide.

Been doing photography a long time, long time, 30 years or more. I have Olympus. In my case, it's good. All the Olympus, my wife and me use. We decided to get an Olympus digital. She can see right away what's good and not good. If you need another one, you can do it right away.

My Treatment in Iowa

KEN: Dad and Fran took me to Iowa. I saw a doctor and a nurse 5 days a week, from around July 20 - October 15.
I was laying down on a hospital bed and they did radiation therapy. It went around my whole waist, all different angles.
I got my own place there. Two bedroom apartment n Iowa City. Drive to hospital: me or Dad and Fran.
Dad and Fran and me drove in my car from Iowa back to New Jersey. I like it in both Iowa and New Jersey.
From July to October, I got a lot of sleep!
I look forward to coming to our Center.
