I guess you could say that I'm an advanced amateur photographer. I've been taking pictures since the late 1950's and I even did my own darkroom work way back then. In those days I used a pair of Nikon SLRs, along with the usual assortment of lens, flashes, etc. So the photos here cover many, many years. They're what I consider to be some of my best although my best is not anything special. I enjoyed taking them and I still enjoy looking at them. I hope you do too.
I'm very proud of many of these images and not so proud of others. They're a mix of older film-based photos and newer digital photos, many of which I copied from slides and negatives. My Minolta D7 digital camera was great and I enjoyed it for several years before going to a Panasonic FX-20 5MP digital camera with image stabilization and a 12X optical zoom lens. I've now finally gone to a Pentax DSLR with several lenses, an accessory flash unit, etc, and I love it. My only problem is that my creative juices seem to have dried up as I slowly became an old guy. My wife, who I've had to drag screaming and kicking into the digital camera world, got a Canon Powershot A520 for Christmas and now is a true believer in digital photography. I doubt that she'll ever use her old Olympus film cameras again, she's so taken with the size, the quality and the number of images she gets on a secure digital memory card. She now realizes that she won't have to waste so many shots, shooting duplicates and triplicates of each image. Me? I'm elated becasue she won't be squirreling away thousands of boxes of negative in every knook and cranny all over the house.Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy your visit. If you're a photographer I'd appreciate hearing your comments regarding my photographs. If you're a Barham and/or a genealogist I'd like to hear your comments about the family information. Please enjoy and, if you have time, drop me a line at:  Daniel Barham, Jr.

The photographs reproduced here and in the following albums are in jpg format, highly compressed, which negatively affects the quality of the image. The originals are high quality RAW or TIFF files which are too large and too slow to open in a web browser, even with a high speed connnection. I used a terrific photo album generating application called JAlbum and highly recommend it. Again, thanks for taking the time to look. Dan Barham |
