Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

Billy the Kid cleaned up photo and wallpaper


So I've been on a little bit of a Billy the Kid kick lately. Actually I have always been interested in Billy the Kid since the Young Guns movie back in the late 80's.

It is nice now with computers and such they can clean up old photos and bring things to life. The other day I came across a cleaned up photo of Billy and I liked it so much I had to use it as my phone wallpaper. 

One thing about daguerreotypes is they would show the image backwards. So for my wallpaper I flipped the photo around so the rifle in Billy’s left hand is correct.
