About
My name is Art Smith and I am a retired business owner living here in Austin Texas.
I sold my Electronics business back in 2002 to spend more time with my family and to pursue my hobbies.
My two absolute favorite hobbies are Classic Cars and Photography…..so naturally, a LOT of my pictures are of Classic Cars and Automotive related stuff.
I am an amateur photographer still trying to learn how to take a decent picture.

I am married with two grown children and one granddaughter
I love dogs
I love being around the water (coast, lakes, rivers, etc)
In retirement, I have MORE friends now than I ever had when I was working – guess I just have more time now
I enjoy music a LOT !
I plan to take my wife on a surprise trip to Italy (hope she doesn’t see this)
My Granddaughter makes me happy when I am around her

Wonderful photos! Thanks for visiting and liking my story, though I’m sure it’s the classic trucks you enjoyed most. One of your photos in the flea market gallery — two clocks — caught my eye. Would you mind if I pinned it on my Pinterest “Writing Prompt” board? I would link it right back to your blog, and I’d let you know if I ever wrote a short story from it.
Thanks for your comments – and asking to use my photo Darla.
No problem at all – feel free to.
Thank you. Here it is on my photo writing prompts board: http://pinterest.com/pin/102808803964936483/
