Born 40 years ago, Originally from Beaver Falls, PA, USA. Since this group and photo, I'm married and living in Canfield, OH.

Started in photography in the early 80's. Background in fully manual 35mm SLR and B&W personal darkroom.

On and off interest all along, digital lit another fire under me. Bought an Olympus D-460 2 years ago. Wanted more control and after seeing an Uzi my sister-in-law bought and wanted me to teach her how to use it, I too bought one Sept. 2001. Joined this group a month later and then proceded to buy a second Uzi along with B-300 and several other "goodies". Bought a Ezi Sept. 2002.
Photoshop 7.0 and Elements, still learning. Still have all those, but now also own a Nikon D-70 DSLR. Still saving for more goodies for it.

Enjoy animal (especially zoos), Hot Air balloon, and nature photography. Would like to get into more sports and fast action stuff. Now with a house and family I'm finding time to take photos less and less. :(
