hi, all...i visited this forum several weeks back....i'm just now getting back - and cruising thru the posts, checking out all of the wonderful work here....i realized, I FREAKIN LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY....*smackin myself upside the head* what in the devil is wrongg with me?? why haven't i been hanggin out here all the time???

well, here is a little photo collage i did of myself...taken with my crappy little kodak dvc325 web cam...okay, i shouldn't say crappy, cuz it doesn't do half bad....can't wait till i get the big bucks to get a REAL dig cam! i'm by no means a professional - really looking to improve my photographic skills!

looking forward to getting to know this group,
tam ;o)

Hey, tam, cute pic! Glad to see you here, too - I just got a digital camera for Christmas, so I'm pretty much a newbie around here, and these guys (and ladies) are great! :-)

Welcome. Any kind of camera will work for this forum....even a simple pinhole will do ; )

Welcome, Tam. It's not the camera, it's the thought behind it that counts most. Nice collage!

Hi Tam, BIG welcome to the forum. As everyone has said before, it's the BRAIN and EYE behind whatever photography equipment you have that makes the image! BTW ~ don't smack yourself upside of the head too much...I tried it once - IT HURTS!!! :-)>

Welcome to the forum. You will find home here. :o) And like Misha said, its the tought, not the equipment. Do you and Sydder know each others? And Syd, yep, she is beautiful. .n

Welcome Tam! Hope to see a lot of work from you =) Yeah Syyd, I'll say she is! (sorry for stealing Marx Bros expression ;) But if I'm right she's not an exception on this forum :)

Welcome! I love your collage. I look forward to seeing some of your work. It doesn't matter what camera you have as long as it is really expensive. Just kidding. Welcome aboard. P.S. It's scary, but here's a pic of me. Could be incriminating in a police lineup, I suppose. Andrew
