I have high resolution files on all pictures I post on my blog. For now anyone who wants a high resolution image let me know and I can e-mail it too you. I am working on storing online, but haven't decided on a image storage site yet.<br /> I am open to any ideas or suggestions from you creative types. Have a great week!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8139154759037854982-8767409561376424829?l=airforcescrapbook.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>John K.

I started off as a Security Policeman at Blythville AFB, Ar in late 1980 for 3 years. I found my true calling in 1983 when I retrained into the photography specialty. I spent the next 6 years mastering the craft of photography when I was selected to be one of the elite few USAF Photojournalists. I spent the next 7 years traveling the world telling the Air Force Story in pictures. I promoted myself from behind the camera and moved on to a NATO assignment in Izmir, Turkey and ended my career running the U-2 film lab at Beale AFB, Ca where I retired on July 1st, 2001. I realized one day when building a scrapbook of my military career that I have hundreds of pictures I've taken over the years of my brothers and sisters in uniform that they may want for their scrapbook as well.<br /> So, the mission of my Blog is to post as many of those pictures as I can with the names of the people in them in the hopes that those in them or family and friends somehow find them on my blogspot.<br /> Hopefully, from time to time I will also have something insightful to say as well!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8139154759037854982-780386962835004111?l=airforcescrapbook.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>John K.
