About 9 years ago I purchased a Olympus C3030 just to take some pictures at the lake where I was spending almost every weekend. It would also give me a chance to learn more about photography. Taking pictures led to a web site which became very popular at Lake Texoma and after only a few short years became the go to place to find out what was going on for the weekend. Even the marinas approached me but that is another story. That turned into something that lasted for the next 9 years until I just recently took the site down. I sold the boat over a year ago and things have just not been the same since. I have always been interested in photography but back in the film days, I was just too intimidated by the dark room. The learning curve was much steeper then and I give full credit to those who still get a giant smile on their face when they get whiff of those chemicals. Being a web developer, digital is right up my alley and I took to it like a lab to water. I decided to upgrade and purchased a Nikon D70 a few years ago and now here I am. A member of PSA and going on my second year as a member of the Dallas Camera Club. I am looking forward to seeing and sharing with all you and look forward to learning and seeing some interesting techniques and of course, inspiration.
