    Biography: I've had a deep love for photography since I took classes back in the '70s. It seemingly got lost in life and cost until I bought a digital camera with limited settings and megapixels at a yard sale in August '02.
    I've recently been blessed with the Nikon D40 and I'm practically in heaven.
    I love the challenge of DPC and the camaraderie of the community. I've learned a ton in my times here and hope to continually improve the quality of my submittals. Fortunately, my lovely wife and beautiful two children put up with my addictive hobby.

    Wish me luck!

    My Family
