Now on to the fun stuff! -------

Describe myself.....Hummmm That's harder to do than it sounds.

Been taking photo's since I was around the age of 9. My first camera was a "Brownie Reflex 20" ( I hope I have that right) from my late father. Then in highschool I bought my first Minolta x370. After collage...I quit...just put down the camera and stopped shooting. For what reason I don't know, but I just quit.

I do remember it costing me a ton of $$ to get film developed and thinking to myself (no word of a lie)...wouldn't it be nice if someone invented a camera (SLR) that would show you your pics the moment you took them.... and look at where we are today!

Five years ago I picked up a D50 Nikon and now have gone through a number of different Nikons. I have to thank the man that helped me learn more about this hobby that has once again consumed me, Dave Richie. Now I just want to blow off work and take pictures. LOL.
