spent 35 years in the trucking industry and truly every aspect of it, started off as an over the road truck driver from L.A. to San Jose Calif in the late 70's when my youngest was born  in the mid 80'sI wanted off the road so went back to school to learn diesel mechanics, welding, transport refrigeration, then went back to school to try and get out of the industry, ended up with a graduate degree to only go back to trucking, but in management.  Retired out as terminal manager in L. A. area mostly due to now a bad back, heart attack, aluminum knee, all the good stuff from getting banged around all those years. 

started a few years ago in this gig, but always enjoyed it, would go into the old head shops back in the day where there would be leather work for sale along with some bongs and incense burning.  Oh almost forgot also was in photography years ago doing weddings and portraits, then got out, then got back in, in 99 2000 when digital was still a little out of reach of Maw and Paw and did kids sporting activities, built a 23 foot car hauler filled with servers, computers and printers, and parents could leave right there with printed photos of their kid playing photo ball, soccer.  But management in the trucking industry became to demanding and sold everything lock, stock, and cameras to a guy from Bakersfield Ca.  And now cutting, dying, and making leather goods.

ya I got out and in a few times, got to hang with known people for a little while back in the day, cant remember his name know but did a lot of Play boy stuff Marcus comes to mind, the one of the guys that worked at L.A. PD but he did that after I met him, he had gone to the school up in Santa Barbra this would have been way back in the 70's and had his hand in commercial and I had taken on a few assignments that he gave me a hand with, he was one of the guys that got to take crime photos out at the O.J. crime scene. I read where retired out of the L.A PD a few years back John Taggert is his name I think he is still with us.  In fact I did a photo of his little girl way back when that had earned a merit through PPoA

Interesting.  I went to photo school in Santa Barbara in the late 70's.

[OLDNSLOW]

cool, I use to go when professional photographers of Cali would have week long courses up there from about 80 to 86.  John had gone to the full blown school that was his under grad degree.

Just remembered the guys name Ken Marcus, he got in to a big beef with Hugh Heff over copyright ownership and all that and I don't think he did anything with them after that, I had put on a seminar with the PP of Los Angels featuring him and his style and what led him to success, again way back in the day and had a sell out crowd, but like everything else there a few creeps in the crowd asking bad questions.
