SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF COOL PHOTOS ON THE WAY. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM BECAUSE I LOVE SHARING THEM WITH YOU. SO TAKE CARE, ENJOY LIFE AND HOLLA BACK AT ME FROM TIME TO TIME WITH SOME COMMENTS ON MY PHOTOGRAPHY WORK!!!
 HELLO EVERYONE. MY NAME IS KEVIN AND I'M A 20+ YEARS MILITARY MAN. I'M CURRENTLY STATIONED IN VILSECK, GERMANY. THIS IS MY THIRD TIME STATIONED HERE AND I'VE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT AND I'M SURE THIS TOUR WILL BE JUST AS GREAT. I WAS STATIONED IN BAMBERG BOTH OTHER TIMES. US ARMY 1987-PRESENT DEC 1987-MARCH 1988 BASIC TRAINING AT FORT DIX, NEW JERSEY MARCH 1988-JUNE 1988 AIT AT FORT BELVOIR, VA JUNE 1988-JULY 1992 AT BAMBERG, GERMANY DEC 1990-MAY 1991 DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM JULY 1992-AUGUST 1996 AT FORT RILEY, KANSAS AUGUST 1996-JULY 1998 BACK IN BAMBERG, GERMANY OCTOBER 1996-APRIL 1997 DEPLOYED TO TAZAR, HUNGRARY AUGUST 1998-JULY 2001 AT FORT BLISS, TEXAS FEB 1999-AUGUST 1999 DEPLOYED TO SAUDI ARABIA AUGUST 2001-JULY 2003 AT ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, MARYLAND AUGUST 2003-JULY 2006 AT FORT LEWIS, WASHINGTON SEPTEMBER 2004-SEPTEMBER 2005 DEPLOYED TO IRAQ JULY 2006-PRESENT AT VILSECK, GERMANY  HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF. I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA. I LOVE MY BIRTHPLACE BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE FEW AMERICAN CITIES THAT HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE CULTURE. FOR ANY OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN THERE, I'M SURE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. THE PEOPLE, THE FOOD, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST UNIQUE TO THAT CITY. AND I'M SURE I DON'T HAVE TO MENTION JUST HOW UNIQUE MARDI GRAS IS!!! I'M MARRIED TO A WONDERFUL, MIDWESTERN(NEBRASKA) WOMAN AND I HAVE NO KIDS. SHE IS MY SOULMATE AND IS EVERYTHING I'M NOT. SHE IS PATIENT, KIND HEARTED, AND COMPLETELY SELFLESS. GOD WAS LOOKING OUT FOR ME WHEN HE SENT HER MY WAY. I JOINED THE ARMY AT THE AGE OF 18 AND I'VE BEEN IN EVERY SINCE. I'VE SERVED IN 2 WARS AND BEEN STATIONED ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD IN SUCH PLACES AS OF COURSE IRAQ, SAUDI ARABIA, KUWAIT, GERMANY, HUNGRAY, AUSTRIA, NEW JERSEY, VIRGINIA, MARYLAND, TEXAS, AND WASHINGTON STATE. I'VE MET LIFE LONG FRIENDS AS WELL AS MY WIFE DURING MY MILITARY CAREER. I'M A VERY PROUD AMERICAN AND I HAVE NO REGRETS ABOUT MY MILITARY SERVICE.  > AS I'M NOT THE AVERAGE BLACKPLANET USER'S AGE; I'M PRIMARY USING BP TO SHARE MY PHOTOGRAPHY WORK WITH YOU ALL AND TO SPEAK AND CHAT WITH LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE WHO SHARE THESAME INTEREST(S). COME CHECK OUT MY WORK. I WELCOME ALL COMMENTS ON MY WORK. I'LL TRY TO UPDATE MY PHOTOS AS OFTEN AS I CAN. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE PHOTOS, JUST HOLLA AT ME AND I'LL RESPOND TO THEM. I'LL ALSO CHANGE UP THE THEME. PHOTOGRAPHY HAS BEEN A SERIOUS HOBBY OF MINE SINCE 1991. I WAS SERVING IN DERSERT STORM AND I WANTED A WAY OTHER THAN JUST PEN AND PAPER TO DOCUMENT WHAT I WAS SEEING AND EXPERIENCING. SO I BOUGHT A CHEAP POINT-AND-SHOOT, 35MM CAMERA AND STARTED SHOOTING EVERYTHING. AND I'M STILL SHOOTING TODAY. BEING IN THE MILITARY HAS GIVEN ME A GREAT VEHICLE FOR MY PHOTOGRAPHY BECAUSE OF ALL THE PLACES AND SITUATIONS I FIND MYSELF IN AS A SOLDIER. SO I WANT TO SHARE THOSE EXPERIENCES WITH ALL OF YOU WHO ARE INTERESTED AND OF COURSE I WELCOME YOUR FEEDBACK AND INTERACTION. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE OTHERS' WORK AS WELL. I LOVE TAKING PORTRAITS AS WELL AS NATURE, LANDSCAPES, AND TRAVEL. I ALWAYS CARRY A COMPACT DIGITAL CAMERA WITH ME. YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE AND WHEN YOU MAY SEE SOMETHING THAT IS PICTURE WORTHY!!! I HAVEN'T HAD MUCH PORTRAIT WORK RECENTLY BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE SHY ABOUT GETTING THEIR PICTURE TAKEN. LET THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND THE CAMERA DO THE WORK, YOU JUST BE YOU. I'VE ALSO DONE SOME TASTEFUL SEMI AND FULLY NUDE WORK. I'M A COMPLETE PROFESSIONAL, SO IT WASN'T ODD OR WEIRD. OK, MAYBE A LITTLE AT FIRST, BUT ONCE EVERYONE RELAXES, IT'S FINE. IF ANYONE AROUND IN MY LOCAL AREA HAS NEED OF A PHOTOGRAPHER, THEN I MAY BE ABLE TO DO SOME WORK FOR YOU. JUST SEND ME AN E-MAIL TO KWPHOTOS69@GOOGLEMAIL.COM, OR YOU CAN CONTACT ME THROUGH BP.  I ALSO HAVE NUMEROUS INTERESTS OTHER THAN PHOTOGRAPHY. FIRST AND FOREMOST, I LOVE MEETING, INTERACTING, AND NETWORKING WITH PEOPLE OF ALL TYPES AND CREEDS. I'M A VERY OPEN-MINDED MAN AND LOVE THE FEELING OF BEING EXPOSED TO NEW IDEAS AND THE PEOPLE THAT COME UP WITH THEM. SO IF YOU GENERALLY HAVE SOMETHING GREAT OR INTERESTING TO SAY, THEN STOP BY AND HOLLA AT ME. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. I DO A LOT OF TRAVELING. THIS IS ALSO A PASSION OF MINE. AND AGAIN, BEING IN THE MILITARY HAS GIVEN ME THE CHANCE TO TRAVEL TO PLACES THAT OTHERS JUST DREAM ABOUT OR DON'T GET TO GO UNTIL THEIR HONEYMOONS. TRAVELING THE WORLD HAS REALLY OPENED MY EYES TO THE FACT THAT ALTHOUGH I LIVE IN THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON THE PLANET(USA), IT'S STILL ONLY ONE COUNTRY THAT MAKES UP THAT PLANET OF PEOPLE. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE OUT THERE AND YOU WOULD BE A FOOL NOT TO WANT TO EXPERIENCE IT. HOME WILL ALWAYS BE THERE, BUT A CHANCE TO TRAVEL AND SEE THINGS THAT WILL AMAZE YOU IS A CHANCE NO SANE MAN OR WOMAN SHOULD LET PASS. THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT MY PROFILE AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY WHAT YOU SEE AND READ. I KNOW I CAN BE A BIT LONG WINDED, BUT AT LEAST I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM ALL OF YOU!!! KEVIN WASHINGTON
