Disaster, originally uploaded by ken.eaton2.

My Dad and I went to Depot Town in Ypsilanti to get a little more familiar with our new cameras (He bought a Nikon D5000). We liked the tracks and the old school train station.

What I find ironic is that a rock like this has the potential to cause great mayhem and destruction should a train hit it and yet there are millions of them all around the tracks.

I tried making some changes to the colors in this picture to try and capture the mood of this photo more accurately.

The following 21 photos are from our family's trip to the Detroit Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) to see my brother, Rob, off as he has enlisted in the Army. He will become a heavy machinery operator and at the time of his enlistment, he has been given the rank of Private First Class.

That was Capt. Brong doing the swearing in. Rob is the big guy in the white shirt, front row.

Right after being sworn in, Rob held his son, Jesse. You'll almost never see my brother smile like that without his little boy.

There were too many cameras going, we never knew which ones to look at.

Rob doesn't usually show emotion, but I think a little showed through here.

I don't know what he was laughing about prior to this, but it shows that he was happy.

I like how Rob was waving to us from behind with his hand extended downward. That's so like him.

Dad was standing over by the bus all by himself watching Rob get settled and sitting in his seat.
