New, From Florida

12 years 7 months ago #146173 by Phillip
I actually signed on almost week ago, but have only been able to get on for a few minutes at a time late at night. I am from SW Florida and love it, though I've enjoyed several other states. I started enjoying photography in the mid 80s in high school. I am a wildlife biologist/land manager and have always had more opportunity to shoot nature than anything else, but enjoy most types of photography. Currently I am looking for the chance to step things up and become much more serious again.

When I look at the world through a camera, I tend to focus.
