First of all I want to say Thank You for looking at my New Website. My Story begins with my childhood being raised to compete in Sports, which I think was a positive influence, giving me Camaraderie and a Competitive edge in life. I am a very Positive Person and live my Life to its Fullest. My motto in Life is “A man Worthwhile is a man that will SMILE when everything goes dead wrong.” Since I was young, I always loved to Draw and Paint Weird and out of the ordinary things, maybe because I have been told that I am a little eccentric and I see a different perspective than normal thinking. This all being said, I do take and make Photos and Art with Originality. I have always loved Birds, Nature, and being outdoors since I was young. I like to take Bird photos because Birds challenge me, they move around so fast, and sometimes like to hide. I also like to take photos of Old Things that are not going to be around for much longer. A little about my businesses side. When I was a young man I first started out raising Tropical Birds and Finches and sold them to a Bird Broker for the Pet trade. Later I started an Ostrich and Emu Farm. In 1973 I started a Full Service Landscape company in Dallas and owned it for 45 years and sold it. Now I am fulfilling my passion of Traveling, taking Photos, Painting, Collecting Spinning Tops and Vintage Squirt Guns. Crazy as it sounds I have one of the largest Spinning Top and Vintage Water gun collections in the World. I soon will be sharing photos and info of my collections. I would love for You to follow Me and my wife Nancy on our Journey of Life and read my blogs of where and what Michael L Trantham is doing. I will write my articles with my silly humor and hope I will get a smile or laugh, or a Hee Haw Billy Buster of a Laugh, and hopefully you learn something along the way when you read Mike Trantham Blogs. In summary, my experiences in life are reflected in the way I take my photos and paint my pictures. In other words, I like to put my own Spin on them. I do Sell certain Photos, Art and Toys. All you have to do is ask. Thanks for reading. Sincerely. Michael L Trantham
