ooops, maybe you're the dentist??? sorry if I made a mistake.

Just a quick run through your pictures and I guess you work as a dental tech either in or for the Navy? I thought I'd comment here because I was a Navy wife for 20 years of the 29 I was married to the ex and I lived in Portsmouth, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach for 12 of those years. My kids were born at Portsmouth Naval Hospital. Back Bay is a place I used to go to see the flocks of snow geese that gather there. Princess Anne Road is a familiar landmark. Do you ever go to Chic's Beach? Anyhow, I like the smile on this woman's face and the CPO (?) cheering in the background. I don't miss the ex, but I sure miss the Navy. Now that we can't just come aboard any old base any old time I can't get my fix.

A nice documentive shot of "military life". The blk/white gives that effect. IMHO.

Didn't see the color but this works well in b/w. Great shot of a proud moment.

I haven't seen the color one but I just love the b/w! She looks so happy she even makes ME smile @(and in the mood I'm in that quite an accomplishement)

The guy in the back is also looking very happy, I'll bet he is going to join the girl eating that pie
