I am lifelong photography hobbyist, starting in middle school (in the 70's). Throughout my life I have shot with a used Olympus PEN, a Nikon F (loved that camera. It was built like a tank) and an Olympus OM series camera.

 

I went fully digital in 2007, though I had played with many different point & shoot digital cameras before purchasing an Olympus E-500. I recently upgraded to an E-620.

 

I am here because I am interested creating contacts in the online photography community and getting some feedback from 'real' photographers.

 

I have no illusions that I am a 'great" photographer, I am an average photographer with above average Photoshop skills. I do love taking pictures though and I am very interested in getting some good constructive input from those on Flickr who are willing to give it.

Some people are technically brilliant, some are artistically inspiring. Occasionally technique and talent land in the same place. This is such a place. By good fortune our paths crossed elsewhere and I have now been following madpoet_one for 2 years. It was a good day when those paths crossed. One day, I hope that we shall stand on the same ground but until then it is rewarding just to follow. Keep blazing the trail my friend.
