52 yrs old and live in Mentor, Ohio. Always enjoyed photography back in 1980 purchased an Cannon AE-1 film camera and learned a little about photography. Got away from pictures but always had digital point and shoots. Purchased a Nikon D5100 in 2010 and am really excited about photography again.

Got a couple of tattoos from Tattoo Al a few yrs ago and started following his work on Flickr and his work along with many others on the site inspired me to learn all over again with digital manual shooting. It's slowly turned into a great hobby borderline obsession, as my wife would say.

Anyway glad to be here and thanks so much for stopping by!
