| Introduction | One of two (twin brothers...Jim is also an avid photograph to include 3-D) from a family of 8 boys and 1 girl all from the same parents in the same house in the Southland. Now, after living in Eastern Oregon, Central Montana I am in the Beaverton area of the Beaver State. With a surname that originated in Germany that literally means "Dust" my occupation was not an option. It was in my genes to be around dust. I'm a duster at a couple armories working with the great "The Union" seal of the State of Oregon on my armories, flags, hat, shirt, and business card. I have a camera and enjoying taking pictures as time permits. I like to e-mail them to family and friends or make post cards from them and now I'm included some on this Beaver State Lens Duster blog. My mom's grandfather's surname was "Black" so I guess with my Staub name and his I could have made a good coal miner. I'll stick with mining potential photos and the routine of being happily married, keeping in touch with our two daughters, and maintaining my armories and suburban ranch style home with a few rabbit thrown in to keep my hopping. |
