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.
