I am a retired computer guy who is now enjoying golf and re discovering photography. Four years ago I had a little personal fight with cancer to re-focus my priorities in life. It was in the rather long recovery process that I became interested in photography again and bought a Nikon D40. That got me hooked and one year later moved up to a D90 and some nice glass. Now spend most of my time between the golf course (providing the weather is OK) and expanding my photographic horizons.
