Hello, First post, Newbie

I've been reading a lot in the forums, very helpful indeed. I decided to join up and introduce myself.
When I was younger(many moons ago) I did a lot of black and white photography. When I was in high school, back in 73, I was the youngest, freshman, staff photographer. I worked with the staff till I graduated high school. After High School, my dad urged me to continue taking pictures, but I became infatuated with girls, and the camera took a back seat.
Now I'm retired and disabled with plenty of time on my hands. I've joined a couple of local photography clubs. So I decided perhaps I go back to my first love. my camera (my wife came later). I currently have a panasonic Lumix camera, but soon will be buying a better camera with lenses.
My friends have been asking if I would sell some of my pictures, I never thought about it till now, I've got a long ways to go... well at least I have plenty of time on my hands now.






Photography is a partnership. Equipment is very important, but the true vision comes from the photographer.

Excellent work. You do have "the eye".

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
