hi, i'm Gary Gantney and would like to join the forum. i've been taking pictures since i was eight. started with B&W and use to develop and print my own pictures. in the last 20yrs i've expanded my photo work into forensic and work related photography. lately i've expanded into digital photography. i have found a whole new set of challenges and opportunities. i have several thousand pictures that i've taken over the past 40 years. i'm posting one of my personal favorite pictures because of the colors and composition. i took the picture with my SLR Mamiya-Sekor-DL1000 with a 55mm lens and flash. you are welcome to comment on picture.
