I'm one of the lucky one's who's had a good camera most of his life, starting with a Minolta SLR when I was 15, and switching to Pentax SLR's and a digital when in my 30's. I'm an amateur who wishes he had the time and resources to do more, specifically sport and portrait photography.

I should find more time in the next year (hopefully).

Outside of my two jobs, I also spend a lot of time helping with CHA Animal Shelter, a not for profit shelter for both dogs and cats on the North side of Columbus, just outside Westerville. For more info, please see www.CHAAnimalShelter.org or pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/CHAAnimals/
