For now, I'm a musician, photographer, fisherman...not necessarily in that order, but sometimes concurrently. Yup!...I'm retired and trying to lve on MY schedule. Photography has been a part of my life...probably, ever since I took one of my father's old box cameras into the bathtub with me..."it looked dirty". My uncle upgraded me to a new and dry Kodak Brownie. Several years ago I retired my Minolta SRT101 and Nikon FE, to fool around with a few digital point and shoots; really liked the portability. An interest in HDR ultimately led me to the very versatile and water resistant Canon G11.
