| This page I will devote to pictures of me and my helmets along with my family who also share my interest in the pigeon fancy. I will start off with the picture from when I was a boy of 12 to present. |
| My first pigeons and my first pigeon "Loft". Actually it was the dogs house. The dog didn't seem to mind as he never used it anyways. this picture was taken in 1987. I used to live in that little 4x3x3 shack. Whenever my parents needed to find me they would come out to the doghouse. I would be in there sitting and watching my pigeons, making nests for them, dreaming about catching that really pretty one down in the "old barn". Those were the days. |
| My first pair of Helmets. Need I say more? This is the pair of Helmets (a pair of blacks) that started my fascination for the Helmet. This picture was taken winter of 1988-89. |
| This is my Dad. A true pigeon fancier. We spent hours discussing pigeons, he would tell me stories of the pigeons he flew in china as a child. When I first brought those barn pigeons home he was just as much into them as I was! Here he has 2 black hens eating bread. Picture taken 1989. |
| Me in my brand new loft with my helmets. On the right you can just see my dog "Volchok" who's house I took over for my pigeons. Thanks "Dog". That yellow hen was my first yellow helmet, she wasn't anything for showing but I kept her till she died. Blacks and Yellows are still my favorite today although 75% of my helmets are red. =\ This picture was taken in 1990. |
| Aaah last but not least. Thats me, a man fortunate enough to be able to raise pigeons, meet wonderful people, have a wonderful family. I thank the Good Lord that I live in this country, that I can have all these things. Money is not everything, neither is fame. Being happy in what we do, how we live our lives, how many people we can help, thats whats important. Fall 2004. Holding Red OC |
