~ Just celebrated my 15th Anniversary in South Florida on 8-20-09.... Newbie to DSLR photography with A LOT to learn ~ Newer to displaying photography publicly. I have an inherent love for all animals, architectural forms from all genres, nature, primitive images, realism, still life, culinary, interiors, people both young and old, doors, stairs, windows .... Raised in fine art and jewelry fields, have an ample enthusiasm for aesthetics, beauty and form~ I possess a photographic (no pun) storage compartment in the left brain for color memorization, sorta like an indelible crayola box stuck my head. Just purchased a Nikon D70 body, and a friend landed me a Tokina ATX Pro 80-200 lens..I had purchased an AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm VR lens (defective so returned)~ NOW trying to figure it all out!!??! I have been a bit skittish about getting out there... which surprises me as I am rather bold in general... anyway sure i will see ya around;`)

^_ ^ Thanks for all your emails, comments and support, you know who you are! ~Yvonne

The person who got me the Tokina lens was kjpweb, my friend Klaus... RIP
