My name is Larry S. Kramm. I am 58 years old . I retired from Chevron as a Data Storage Analyst on August 30, 1997. Since then I seem to be more busy then ever. Don't know how I ever found time to go to work. I live in Antioch, Ca. It is a city of 80,000 located in East Contra Costa County, about 20 miles west of Stockton at the mouth of the delta.

My email address is lkramm@aol.com


I am married to a wonderful woman whose name is Shirley. She became disabled with restrictive lung disease in 1993. She has been on oxygen ever since and now uses an electric scooter to get around.

My intrests include working out at 24Hr Fitness every day for an hour or so, hiking, gardening, home improvements, genelogy, photography. When I work out at 24Hr Fitness I spend 45 min on an elliptical stair stepper or treadmill. Every other day I lift light weights.

After retiring, I reactivated my interest in photography after some 40 years. In March 1998 I purchased a Minolta 650si camera with a 30-80mm Minolta lens and a 70-300mm Minolta lens. A few months later I joined the Diablo Valley Camera Club.

In January 1999, I purchased the new Minolta XTsi. This camera is working a lot better then the Minolta 650si. It is faster focusing and won't let you snap a picture unless it is in focus. Other features are also much easier to use.

Most of the photos here where scanned at 300dpi using an HP ScanJet 5100c and at the same time reduced to 12% of the original 4"x6" size.

My interest in photography and the desire to show some of my work has lead me to this web page. So, lately I've been spending time learning HTML so I can publish this web page. I found that AOL's Personal Publisher 3 had so may problems I was easier to learn basic HTML myself.


We have a son, Jeff, 26 years old. He graduated from Fresno State in Jun 1998 with a BA degree in Deaf Education. He is now working on getting his teaching credentials. He wants to teach 4th and 5th graders. Jeff is married. His wife's name is Kim. They live in Fresno while Jeff continues schooling. Jeff works part time at Things Remembered. Kim is an Orthodontist Assistant.




Here is a photo of our 14 year old Chihuahua, Tiffany. She lives in Shirley's blouse most of the time

We have another Chihuahua, Wicket, 13 years old, who doesn't like his picture taken. And, then there is our 6 mo old puppy, Ginger. She is a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix. Be sure to click below to see her story and photos.

In addition to the 3 small dogs, we have 2 cats. Mitzie, a white domestic long hair is our indoor cat. Frack, a calico, is our outdoor cat.
