Kinda Flickr Cool – I just saw that I hit 25,000 views on my Flickr account. That is supah-sweet! Thanks for all the looks, people!

I was going through some photos I took over a year ago, and found myself looking at the RAW files with fresh eyes. I reprocessed the photo with my current toolset and it made me happy inside, so since it was older work (pre-blog), I decided maybe you all, my faithful blog-stalkers, might like to see my old junk…Please keep in mind, these were shot with my old Nikon D70.

I will add to this intermittently, but only if you all want me to. Let me know if you would like to see more of my old work. If anything, we can share in the humiliation and I can show you how far I am hopefully coming.

The first official From the Archives photo, #001:

My new friend, Bobbi, tagged me. This is like the big-kid version of the playground game “Tag” where the slow and weak get tagged and the bigger faster kids get to go on and play! Just kidding, you all!

Ground rules: I tell you eight things about me that you may not have already known, then I tag eight other bloggers.

Eight things about Dustin Steller:

1. Oldest of 5
2. Begged mom to home-school…and she did (with 4 other siblings) from 7th grade through high-school.
3. Started college at 15 and is self-taught both Design and Photography.
4. Love sweets, but not so much on the chocolate side of things.
5. Played baseball for 13 years.
6. Worked at a church for 6 years.
7. Likes to make new friends and is probably overly friendly.
8. Always lived in the Kansas City area and grew up on a farm.
